Paul

In the draft-ietf-rum-rue-00, there's an exemption from VP8 support for providers but no exemption from Opus support. The implication is that, in a call from the PSTN using Voice Carry Over, the provider must offer OPUS even though the audio content is constrained to 8bit*8kHz PCM over the PSTN. I don't recall seeing any argument for requiring transcoding in this case; there would be no benefit in audio quality.

Best regards

James

Subject: [Rum] Distinguishing RUE and Provider requirements

In the discussion thread that followed the attached message it started
to become apparent that there is a need to distinguish the requirements,
and/or requirement strength, that apply to the RUE itself from those
that apply when a RUE connects to a VRS Provider.

Now that we have a wg draft to work from, I would like to see people
step forward and make proposal(s) for what those differences should be.

While the prior discussion focused on codecs, please also consider what
else might need to differ.

        Thanks,
        Paul

Subject: [Rum] Codec requirements in draft-rosen-rue-01

draft-rosen-rue-01 changes the video codec requirements. It now simply
references webrtc RFC7742.

RFC7742 distinguishes three types of endpoints: "WebRTC browser",
"WebRTC non-browser", and "WebRTC-compatible endpoint". AFAIK it assumes
that each end is one of these.

Is the expectation here that both the RUE and the provider comply with
one of these? In particular, that the provider may simply be a
"WebRTC-compatible endpoint? Notably:

    "WebRTC-compatible endpoints" are free to implement any video codecs
    they see fit.  This follows logically from the definition of "WebRTC-
    compatible endpoint".  It is, of course, advisable to implement at
    least one of the video codecs that is mandated for WebRTC browsers,
    and implementors are encouraged to do so.

Similarly, the audio requirements have been changed to reference webrtc
RFC7874. That one doesn't have the distinction between "WebRTC browser",
"WebRTC non-browser", and "WebRTC-compatible endpoint". It applies the
same requirements to all. In particular, it requires OPUS support. I
don't know why it doesn't make the same endpoint distinctions as for video.

I think simply referencing these documents isn't sufficient. Seems like
we need a more nuanced specification of what is required, though we may
still reference these docs with qualifications.

        Thanks,
        Paul
