Dean, Good point, but if the mobile terminal is to make the choice, and assuming a lower priority talk burst arrives just slightly ahead of a higher priority talk burst, the mobile terminal may miss the notification of the second talk burst and continue to listen to the lower priority burst. PTT floor control has to support (maybe not exclusively) the model seen in PAMR systems (e.g., TETRA in Europe) and in Nextel. Ultimately, I think that floor control must support first-come-first-served as well as highest priority wins. I don't see floor control being based on "who is loudest". Individual PTT calls should be configurable for the policy to be followed.

There were two closely-related aspects of what that meant to me: Dynamic v. Static media policy Human in the decision loop I was thinking that the decision about who talks and who doesn't would be based on a higher level of intelligence about the content of the media than just which party is loudest when and who has a pre-programmed higher rank (peon, director, VP, or military ranks) than someone else. If the pre-programmed variety is included, then of course the automaton as conference chair can make the decisions, human control is not needed, and PTT comes within the definition. If such is the case, then merely the receipt of RTP packets with content from competing speakers may be enough to trigger the decision, assuming an active long-term conference. I think I just had a higher bar for what is included in floor control. I'm still reading various drafts to get a better picture of all of this.

There were two closely-related aspects of what that meant to me: Dynamic v. Static media policy Human in the decision loop I was thinking that the decision about who talks and who doesn't would be based on a higher level of intelligence about the content of the media than just which party is loudest when and who has a pre-programmed higher rank (peon, director, VP, or military ranks) than someone else. If the pre-programmed variety is included, then of course the automaton as conference chair can make the decisions, human control is not needed, and PTT comes within the definition. If such is the case, then merely the receipt of RTP packets with content from competing speakers may be enough to trigger the decision, assuming an active long-term conference. I think I just had a higher bar for what is included in floor control. I'm still reading various drafts to get a better picture of all of this.

The more we add, the less likely we are to produce solid protocols in a reasonable time frame. The linkage between the protocols that are listed in the proposed charter is very tight.

As such, intuitively I understand that a floor can be, for example, all the video resources in a conference: video streams, video mixers, video switchers, etc. Or a floor can be a specific audio mixer in a conference responsible for mixing n specific user voice streams (out of total m users). I don't understand how a media stream defined by an SDP m-line and flowing between the user and the focus/mixer is a shared resource in a conference? (Moreover, in most cases, an m-line defines a bidirectional stream. Media streams in different directions have very different impact on possible floors.) In the bottom line, it seems to me that the shared resources (that would make up a floor) are the conference resources (such as mixers, a shared cursor) or a remote resources (such as a stream between a remote user and a mixer or even a remote camera accessible by many participants) - not the user's own media streams that are visible through its own SDP. Thoughts?

I don't know whether I am alone, but I think it can be helpful to show the usage cases of the protocol in the Floor Control drafts. In draft-koskelainen-xcon-floor-control-req-00 I suggest expanding the introduction section (or introducing a new "high level requirements" section) by showing more floor control applications (i.e. conference modes/types) that are going to be the customers of the Floor Control Protocol. In draft-wu-sipping-floor-control-04.txt I suggest showing what it takes to implement a simplest audio conference with lecture mode and questions/answers using the primitives defined in the draft. (Of course, more examples are welcome.)

The reason for including the basic Floor Control Protocol as a part of XCON is to be able to use it as the tool for building various applications when "lecture with questions/answers" and "voting" being some of them. Therefore I suggest including the motivation as a part of the Charter: "The basic Floor Control Protocol will provide the tools for building conferencing applications such as lecture with questions/answers and voting. Standardization of the Floor Control applications is out of scope of XCON" and removing the stand-alone "out-of-scope Voting" statement because it is one of the many examples only.

The problem as stated is end system mixing, with a focus, and it's certainly in scope. I do hope Bob realizes that when you have the "CONF" button do this, there is no problem for the focus to smoothly move from end system mix to central mix when the size of the conference goes over whatever limit the phones can handle. Every existing participant sees a re-INVITE that just happens to change the media stream address/ports (and maybe codecs). So, you might be in a two-way call, press "CONF", which, because you have a two way call, contacts the conference factory and obtains a conference URI, and then REFERs the two way to the focus, and then REFERs an additional party to the focus, creating a three way, with end-system mixing. Another press of "CONF" would REFER another party to the focus, which could re-INVITE everyone to the central mixer. You can, of course, keep going. You can also allow any phone to do the referring, and you can, with an appropriate UI, invite an incoming call to the conference with or without a consultation hold. We would have to have a way to determine if the end devices had end system mix capability, and what limits there were.

Some systems have a request-grant floor type of mechanism, some only use negative acknowlegement indication, and if the below is true some wouldn't use any signaling for floor control type functionality. There are many protocols used for this, some use proprietary RTP/RTCP extensions etc. It would probably be good to standardize a single reasonable flexible mechanism to achieve this. I think it has to be simple and fast to succeed, though, so I'm not sure if this could be done as a subset of a full-blown floor control system.

However, I think the vote object itself can carry all the security itself, it won't affect the media or conference policy stuff at all.

I can understand why the actual vote counting, aggregation, etc.. should be left to the implementation, however, the capability to make a vote should be provided. This capability should be included in Conference Control in the same manner as "raise hand" to get attention, slow down instruction to the presenter, and similar actions.

If you will look at the sipping conference framework draft that was written by Jonathan Rosenberg you will see three different logical entities. The conference policy server, the focus and the mixers. You can also look at it as an application server that includes the conference policy, a focus which does call signaling with EPs or other focus and a mixer that mixes the media according to the information from the focus. The XCON is addressing the issue of how an application from a user can manipulate the conference policy (including media policy). It is not addressing the decomposition of the conference server. For example you can say that a conferencing bridge can be one physical unit that includes both the focus and the mixer. You can have them in a physical decomposition (BTW there is work done by the ITU on H.248.19 which is a package for this decomposition). Now in you example the distributed conference can be done either by having one focus (or MC (MGC) in Megaco terms) and many mixers (or MPs in Megaco terms) in that case it is one conference that has one focus. Another way is to have one application server that will handle many conferencing server (MCUs) composed out of focus and mixers, this is a cascaded conference. The cascaded solution involves less communication between the entities and is more suitable, in my opinion, to geographically distributed architecture. It is true that we do not address the issue of the communication between the focus and the conference policy server (or application server) but rather about how user application can define the policy. I assume that this connection can be based on SIP (look at 3GPP AS to MRF interface as an example) Regards Roni Even ********************************** Roni Even VP Product Planning Polycom Network Systems Tel: +972-3-9251200 Mobile: +972-55-481099 email: roni.even@polycom.co.il ************************************* -----Original Message----- From: Bob Hughes [mailto:rchughes@us.ibm.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 6:18 PM To: xcon@softarmor.com Subject: [XCON] Conference Controllers and Mixers Steve Fisher wrote the following in a note with a different subject header and I wanted to add a couple of comments in favor of moving the mixer/controller protocol back in scope. Rohan, In your response to Eric you state the following goal for xcon: "The goal is to allow customers to select a conferencing application that can work with many vendor's mixers and conference servers." I'm puzzled how this goal can be achieved when the protocol between the application server and the mixers is explicitly out of scope for xcon? According to the charter, the following is out of scope: "Protocol used between the conference controller and the mixer(s)." Steve Please consider: if conference participants were in different geographies (Europe and Aisia, for example) and an enterprise wished to mix in each geography to minimize traffic between geos, it is unrealistic to think that the mixer in each geography will always be from the same supplier. It seems that a single focus, in this case, is in control of a call with multiple mixers (probably from different vendors) and the question of protocol becomes pretty important. Please consider also: If the UA has conferencing capability (for, say, between 3-6 participants) and the user still accesses the conference server (something that certainly happens in real life as not many people can handle or be bothered with the key strokes needed to set up conferences on a phone), shouldn't the focus have the ability to establish the conference on the UA itself (for small conferences and assuming the conference server has some awareness of the UA's mixing capability)? A definition of the controller/mixer protocol would be useful here, too. This is a huge thing for the enterprise as many conferences are small and the investment in UAs is large. It seems very desirable if UA based conferencing can be accomplished in manner indistinguishable from central mixing from the end user's perspective. Thanks.

However, sometimes it will be in scope to discuss some XCON-related aspects of the High Level SIP Conferencing Requirements and Framework documents and that's OK. It will also be useful from time to time to give SIP/SDP signaling examples when discussing XCON protocols for motivation, background, etc. However, the majority of SIP conferencing discussions should be held on the SIPPING list.

Typical floor controlled application scenarios involve floor chair (human being) who grants or denies the floor claim. There is also claim queue management involved as there may several floor claims waiting for turn. This is not very time-critical (and often there are couple of people ahead of you in the floor claim queue anyway). Floor claim request may include additional information, e.g. priority or topic of your comment (chair can better control the floor queue if he knows in advance what is the topic of the comment). XML (and SOAP) is logical solution for this, as defined in draft-wu-sipping-floor-control. Push to talk like applications definitely should not use floor chairs or floor claim requests as it would be too slow. Instead, they should use fixed media and floor policies (something like "no floor control protocol for media X, first speaker is passed through"). In the rare case that this did not work out (e.g. two persons starts speaking at the same time) then there may be negative notification, as markus pointed out. So this kind of application might utilize XML/SOAP only for floor creation. Anyway, this specific example is a service and IETF does not specify services. > I think it would make sense to include the support for this kind of scenario also under > the "floor control" work item in XCON. We tried to support this in floor control draft (e.g. create_floor defines the floor policy which says whether floor claims are used) but it seems that this work must be better aligned with media policy work. -- Petri > -----Original Message----- > From: ext [mailto:Markus.Isomaki@nokia.com] > Sent: 16 July, 2003 18:24 > To: dwillis@dynamicsoft.com; Mayer Georg (NMP/Helsinki); > xcon@softarmor.com > Subject: RE: [XCON] RE: Wireless Systems do not flee XML > > > Hi, > > I agree that for certain floor control operations latency is > clearly the most important issue in wireless networks.

This obviously depends on how the schemas and partial updates will finally look like. My early guess is that gzip for the XML payload would be sufficient at least for presence-related operations. Conference and media policy control probably have stricter latency reqs from usability point of view. In extreme cases reuse of SigComp might be considered. (So that nobody needs to point that out, I note that obviously there is no decision that XCAP or even XML or HTTP would be used for conference control, although this would be nice.) As said, for certain type of floor control cases, binary encoding to start with would be preferred.

Push to talk type of applications require some very efficient mechanism to compete for the "floor", in which case some other enconding than XML would seem reasonable. Actually, for some applications it would be enough just to do the contention with the media (i.e. the RTP packets carrying the talkburst), and then just to learn if you did NOT get the floor through some simple protocol message (in which case the person talking would get some negative indication). In other words this means that you always don't need to first explicitly reserve the floor for you before starting to send the media. I believe this is how it works in most of the proprietary push to talk apps. I think it would make sense to include the support for this kind of scenario also under the "floor control" work item in XCON. First we would ofcourse need some more specifric requirements text.

Rohan, In your response to Eric you state the following goal for xcon: "The goal is to allow customers to select a conferencing application that can work with many vendor's mixers and conference servers." I'm puzzled how this goal can be achieved when the protocol between the application server and the mixers is explicitly out of scope for xcon? According to the charter, the following is out of scope: "Protocol used between the conference controller and the mixer(s)." Steve Please consider: if conference participants were in different geographies (Europe and Aisia, for example) and an enterprise wished to mix in each geography to minimize traffic between geos, it is unrealistic to think that the mixer in each geography will always be from the same supplier. It seems that a single focus, in this case, is in control of a call with multiple mixers (probably from different vendors) and the question of protocol becomes pretty important. Please consider also: If the UA has conferencing capability (for, say, between 3-6 participants) and the user still accesses the conference server (something that certainly happens in real life as not many people can handle or be bothered with the key strokes needed to set up conferences on a phone), shouldn't the focus have the ability to establish the conference on the UA itself (for small conferences and assuming the conference server has some awareness of the UA's mixing capability)? A definition of the controller/mixer protocol would be useful here, too. This is a huge thing for the enterprise as many conferences are small and the investment in UAs is large. It seems very desirable if UA based conferencing can be accomplished in manner indistinguishable from central mixing from the end user's perspective. Thanks.

I don't think a floor control protocol needs any of the features of XML, or rather, I don't see any compelling reason to use XML to encode a floor-control protocol. thanks, -rohan > /a > _______________________________________________ > XCON mailing list > XCON@softarmor.com > http://www.softarmor.com/mailman/listinfo/xcon X-Mozilla-Status: 0011 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Received: from mail1.dynamicsoft.com (192.168.4.30 [192.168.4.30]) by DYN-EXCH-01.dynamicsoft.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13) id 3QXQQ2PZ; Wed, 16 Jul 2003 04:27:06 -0400 Received: from cs.columbia.edu (cs.columbia.edu [128.59.16.20]) by mail1.dynamicsoft.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h6G8ON2D011386; Wed, 16 Jul 2003 04:24:23 -0400 (EDT) Received: from magnum.cs.columbia.edu (IDENT:root@magnum.cs.columbia.edu [128.59.16.117]) by cs.columbia.edu (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id h6G8QxkM011124; Wed, 16 Jul 2003 04:26:59 -0400 (EDT) Received: from cs.columbia.edu (bart.cs.columbia.edu [128.59.19.191]) by magnum.cs.columbia.edu (8.11.6/8.9.3) with ESMTP id h6G8Qvg05017; Wed, 16 Jul 2003 04:26:57 -0400 Message-ID: <3F150B58.9040604@cs.columbia.edu> Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 04:22:48 -0400 From: Henning Schulzrinne <hgs@cs.columbia.edu> Organization: Columbia University User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Adam Roach <adam@dynamicsoft.com> CC: georg.mayer@nokia.com, dwillis@dynamicsoft.com, xcon@softarmor.com, Xiaotao Wu <xiaotaow@cs.columbia.edu> Subject: Re: [XCON] Wireless Systems do not flee XML References: <9BF66EBF6BEFD942915B4D4D45C051F3EE6000@dyn-tx-exch-001.dynamicsoft.com> In-Reply-To: <9BF66EBF6BEFD942915B4D4D45C051F3EE6000@dyn-tx-exch-001.dynamicsoft.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In general, we probably need to distinguish two forms of overhead, namely the SOAP encapsulation XML and the 'real' XML. Secondly, the evaluation may well be different for full-featured commands that create a floor, for example. These are likely to be used infrequently, so byte efficiency is somewhat secondary. One solution is to have a trivial alternative that supports only the "claim floor" and can be as simple as http://floor.example.com?f=1&o=c Whether having two mechanisms is a good thing, I don't know. Assuming that this is ok, they probably must be very different in client complexity and message size.

As such, I would expect that when used in XCAP, there would be few headers, probably just Content-Type. In that case, one option is to perform compression on just the body. This is reasonably efficient when the body represents a much larger percentage of the overall byte count, compared to headers. For that, you can using the existing HTTP Content-Encoding facilities, using something like gzip. This would avoid the need for any additional standardization work to compress this stuff. -Jonathan R.

Eric, I agree that conferencing applications are hard to build. This is exactly why we should split these apps from the actual conference and media policy underneath. The goal is to allow customers to select a conferencing application that can work with many vendor's mixers and conference servers. So Acme Underwriting might decide it likes a conferencing application from Voyant, (because they liked the interface best) but wants to run the application with Snowshore, Cisco, and Microsoft conference servers. (for example). Also, a company for which conferencing is business critical may develop (by hiring a contractor or using internal IT development resources) a company-specific conferencing application. A good example might be a financial trading call center. They can focus on the details of the media and authorization policies and the user interface, but they don't need to build a general purpose mixing engine, a focus, etc.. > Let's compare this to another user language, CPL.

First, I think you are missing some of the logical aspects of media policy. To play a prompt to one user (or a subset of the users), it should be sufficient logically to create a subconference for the prompt (1 step) and move the user into it. When the prompt is done, the subconference ends automatically and the user is returned to their original conference (0 steps). To play a prompt to the entire conference in most cases, you just add the prompt as a participant to the conference. Second, I think your APIs *will* have functions such as "play a prompt to user x", but I think these names can become ambiguous as you try to do more complex things. I believe these APIs can just invoke media policy control commands, and this is pretty straightforward. > On another topic, I don't see floor control being related at all to > mixing topology. That presupposes the policy being done by plumbing > instead of having the client simply say what it wants to do. You may be missing something that is unclear in the framework or in the media policy document. When the creator of a conference creates a media policy that includes floor control, it connects the logical holder(s) of floor to the input of the mix. As different users get the floor, the policy does not change. You don't have to redo any plumbing when you switch floor holders. > Likewise, who would decide to change conference modes on the fly > without a vendor-supplied application (section 6.4)? a non-mixing vendor supplied application (which could be written by a different conference vendor) could decide to introduce a sidebar or switch between a media policy oriented towards presentation mode to panel mode to discussion mode. > This really comes to my key point.

I could use media policy to decide who participants are in which conversation space (participant-oriented), but I do not specify which call legs go where or how many or which type of mixers are controlled by the focus. thanks, -rohan > > _______________________________________________ > XCON mailing list > XCON@softarmor.com > http://www.softarmor.com/mailman/listinfo/xcon _______________________________________________ XCON mailing list XCON@softarmor.com http://www.softarmor.com/mailman/listinfo/xcon X-Mozilla-Status: 0011 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Received: from mail2.dynamicsoft.com (192.168.4.31 [192.168.4.31]) by DYN-EXCH-01.dynamicsoft.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13) id 3QXQQC81; Mon, 14 Jul 2003 14:46:56 -0400 Received: from bdsl.greycouncil.com (bdsl.66.12.12.130.gte.net [66.12.12.130]) by mail2.dynamicsoft.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h6EIiLkG003407; Mon, 14 Jul 2003 14:44:23 -0400 (EDT) Received: from bdsl.greycouncil.com (bdsl.greycouncil.com [127.0.0.1]) by bdsl.greycouncil.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h6EIkM26003374; Mon, 14 Jul 2003 13:46:22 -0500 Received: from webshield.office.snowshore.com (goalie.snowshore.com [216.57.133.4]) by bdsl.greycouncil.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) with SMTP id h6EIkL24003371 for <xcon@softarmor.com>; Mon, 14 Jul 2003 13:46:21 -0500 Received: from zoe.office.snowshore.com(192.168.1.172) by webshield.office.snowshore.com via csmap id 1865; Mon, 14 Jul 2003 14:45:15 -0400 (EDT) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.0.6249.0 content-class: urn:content-classes:message MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; format=flowed Subject: RE: [XCON] Comments on draft-koskelainen-xcon-cpcp-reqs-00 Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 14:46:20 -0400 Message-ID: <4A3384433CE2AB46A63468CB207E209D4F6568@zoe.office.snowshore.com> Thread-Topic: [XCON] Comments on draft-koskelainen-xcon-cpcp-reqs-00 Thread-Index: AcNKHUdzX4Yhbe2AQ/C2LCMiZ7MfdgAF7y2w From: "Eric Burger" <eburger@snowshore.com> To: "Michael Hammer" <mhammer@cisco.com> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by bdsl.greycouncil.com id h6EIkL24003371 Cc: "IETF XCON Discussion List \(E-mail\)" <xcon@softarmor.com> X-BeenThere: xcon@softarmor.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.2 Precedence: list List-Id: IETF XCON BOF <xcon.softarmor.com> List-Unsubscribe: <http://www.softarmor.com/mailman/listinfo/xcon>, <mailto:xcon-request@softarmor.com?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://www.softarmor.com/pipermail/xcon> List-Post: <mailto:xcon@softarmor.com> List-Help: <mailto:xcon-request@softarmor.com?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://www.softarmor.com/mailman/listinfo/xcon>, <mailto:xcon-request@softarmor.com?subject=subscribe> Sender: xcon-bounces@softarmor.com Errors-To: xcon-bounces@softarmor.com Exactly -- a conferencing protocol would not need to deal with the key distribution. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Hammer [mailto:mhammer@cisco.com] Sent: Mon, July 14, 2003 11:33 AM To: Eric Burger Cc: IETF XCON Discussion List (E-mail) Subject: Re: [XCON] Comments on draft-koskelainen-xcon-cpcp-reqs-00 At 11:09 AM 7/14/2003 -0400, Eric Burger wrote: For example, there is no key distribution with public keys.

This is the same API we use for our conferencing application. That includes creating conferences , adding users, defining the mixing modes and even forcing views.

The reason for application development is to enable them to create services according to their requirements.

First question: what requirements in the requirements document (draft-ietf-sipping-conferencing-requirements-00) do these sections tie back to? For example, section 4.6, Conference Policy, is the *definition* of a conferencing application. I don't think we're ready to say that conferencing applications are obsolete. I doubt Polycom, Radvision, Ubiquity, Spectel, or Voyant would agree. Conferencing applications are extremely difficult to develop. Much of the intellectual challenge is in the user interface. Getting rid of packaged conference applications so end users can create arbitrarily complex media plumbing and manipulation is not likely to succeed. Let's compare this to another user language, CPL. The primitives and model of CPL are oriented around the user's experience, and it is in the user's terms. The exposition of conference policy and media policy are in the terms of a conference platform developer. While one can argue about whether Joe Six-Pack will write their own CPL scripts, one could expect a real third-party CPL market happening. I cannot ever envision Joe Six-Pack writing their own conferencing application. Moreover, I cannot envision anyone getting economic returns from building, e.g., only the user interface on top of half of a conferencing application (unless the bridge manufacturers are planning on giving away their stuff, which isn't very likely). Section 5.10 describes very convoluted procedures for replumbing the conference to play an announcement. Most application developers just want to say, "play a prompt to leg X". They don't want to say, "reconfigure the mixer to be one user smaller, disconnect X, allocate a player, connect the player to X, start the player, when the player is done, disconnect X from the player, deallocate the player, reconfigure the mixer to be one user larger, and reconnect X." On another topic, I don't see floor control being related at all to mixing topology. That presupposes the policy being done by plumbing instead of having the client simply say what it wants to do. Likewise, who would decide to change conference modes on the fly without a vendor-supplied application (section 6.4)? This really comes to my key point. Who is the consumer of this protocol? By "consumer", I mean who will write the client and who will write the server? If they are not by different people, there isn't much value for standardization. For that matter, plumbing and media manipulation do not meet the guideline proposed in draft-ietf-sipping-cc-framework-02, that the primitives be participant-oriented, not media relationship-oriented. _______________________________________________ XCON mailing list XCON@softarmor.com http://www.softarmor.com/mailman/listinfo/xcon _______________________________________________ XCON mailing list XCON@softarmor.com http://www.softarmor.com/mailman/listinfo/xcon X-Mozilla-Status: 0011 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Received: from mail2.dynamicsoft.com (192.168.4.31 [192.168.4.31]) by DYN-EXCH-01.dynamicsoft.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13) id 3QXQQCG4; Mon, 14 Jul 2003 11:33:47 -0400 Received: from bdsl.greycouncil.com (bdsl.66.12.12.130.gte.net [66.12.12.130]) by mail2.dynamicsoft.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h6EFVDkG002154; Mon, 14 Jul 2003 11:31:14 -0400 (EDT) Received: from bdsl.greycouncil.com (bdsl.greycouncil.com [127.0.0.1]) by bdsl.greycouncil.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h6EFXR26002628; Mon, 14 Jul 2003 10:33:27 -0500 Received: from sj-iport-3.cisco.com (sj-iport-3-in.cisco.com [171.71.176.72]) by bdsl.greycouncil.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h6EFXO24002625 for <xcon@softarmor.com>; Mon, 14 Jul 2003 10:33:24 -0500 Received: from cisco.com (171.71.177.254) by sj-iport-3.cisco.com with ESMTP; 14 Jul 2003 08:37:17 -0700 Received: from fruitpie.cisco.com (IDENT:mirapoint@fruitpie.cisco.com [64.102.16.27]) by sj-core-2.cisco.com (8.12.9/8.12.6) with ESMTP id h6EFXMuD003370; Mon, 14 Jul 2003 08:33:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mhammer-w2k03.cisco.com (dhcp-hrn-64-100-229-140.cisco.com [64.100.229.140]) by fruitpie.cisco.com (Mirapoint Messaging Server MOS 3.3.3-GR) with ESMTP id AHA07730; Mon, 14 Jul 2003 08:33:21 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <4.3.2.7.2.20030714113245.04ca7228@cia.cisco.com> X-Sender: mhammer@cia.cisco.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 4.3.2 Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 11:33:21 -0400 To: "Eric Burger" <eburger@snowshore.com> From: Michael Hammer <mhammer@cisco.com> Subject: Re: [XCON] Comments on draft-koskelainen-xcon-cpcp-reqs-00 In-Reply-To: <4A3384433CE2AB46A63468CB207E209D4F655B@zoe.office.snowshor e.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.2 Cc: "IETF XCON Discussion List \(E-mail\)" <xcon@softarmor.com> X-BeenThere: xcon@softarmor.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.2 Precedence: list List-Id: IETF XCON BOF <xcon.softarmor.com> List-Unsubscribe: <http://www.softarmor.com/mailman/listinfo/xcon>, <mailto:xcon-request@softarmor.com?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://www.softarmor.com/pipermail/xcon> List-Post: <mailto:xcon@softarmor.com> List-Help: <mailto:xcon-request@softarmor.com?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://www.softarmor.com/mailman/listinfo/xcon>, <mailto:xcon-request@softarmor.com?subject=subscribe> Sender: xcon-bounces@softarmor.com Errors-To: xcon-bounces@softarmor.com Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit At 11:09 AM 7/14/2003 -0400, Eric Burger wrote: >For example, there is no key distribution with public keys.

There would seem to be a number of decisions that it would be appropriate to make in this regard. 1) Do we select/design a lightweight protocol, making efficient use of individual bits, or select/design a rather heavier weight text-based protocol and then compress it. Previous decisions in the SIP area would suggest we go for the latter, but there ought to be some explicit decision in this respect. 2) Assuming that we opt for a protocol that requires compression, do we specify a standard compression algorithm, or do we select SIGCOMP (RFC3320) which allows downloading of the compression algorithm from sender to receiver. Again SIP has selected SIGCOMP as the appropriate protocol to perform compression and that could well be followed here. 3) Assuming SIGCOMP is chosen, is there a need to specificy a dictionary. 4) If a dictionary is specified, then is that dictionary one and the same dictionary as that specified for SIP (see RFC3485) is there a need for a different dictionary. (Note that if a second dictionary is specified, then this presumably increases the information that would need to be stored in a mobile handset, and this is a finite resource.) 5) If compression is supported, is there a need for an indication in the protocol that the entity is willing to use compression, as specified already for SIP (see RFC3486). Finally, it would need to be clarified in the XCON group as to which of these decisions should be made by XCON, and which it should let other groups do (e.g. for SIP the choice and design of the SIGCOMP was performed by the ROHC group). regards Keith > -----Original Message----- > From: georg.mayer@nokia.com [mailto:georg.mayer@nokia.com] > Sent: 10 July 2003 12:59 > To: xcon@softarmor.com > Subject: [XCON] 3GPP Requirements on CPCP > > > Hello, > > initially I planned to have a short presentation at the > Vienna meeting on 3GPP requirements on CPCP, but > unfortunately it seems that there is no time slot neither in > SIPPING nor XCON which allows going into technical > discussions during this meeting.

What is required is, that we do not go for the next protocol that is required in order to make SIP services work and that is not used / implemented for any other SIP means. This would mean "just another protocol stack" in the UE and we should really try to avoid that. This might not be a requirement for an acutal functionality, but nevertheless it is a reasonable issue and should be taken into account. > I think it is desirable for alignment, but not a strict > requirement. For 3GPP it is a strict requirement towards the solution. I would maybe express it as: This is not the only requirement and we have to see if we achieve to satisfy all (CPCP) requirements or if there might be some contradiction between them. > If > their requirements point to a common solution, then that's > great. > Just as > an aside, my personal view is that the CPCP side of things > (as opposed to > the media policy) is much more likely to be useful for scheduling > applications and automata than for handsets. Well, for IMS it was decided to use CPCP and we have good reasons to do so. First of all the service integration in the handset will of course become better in the future, but nevertheless needs to stay within a reasonable amount of resource usage. So I do not think that only specific entities will implement CPCP - the possiblities to create conferences, mange the dial-out list, give/take rights, expel users are very useful for handsets. So therefore I would regard the "handset related" requirements as also valid.

I think it is desirable for alignment, but not a strict requirement. If their requirements point to a common solution, then that's great. Just as an aside, my personal view is that the CPCP side of things (as opposed to the media policy) is much more likely to be useful for scheduling applications and automata than for handsets. >This is also important, as we see lots of services in the future, which >will also require Data Manipulation via the Ut interface - we want these >solutions harmonized if possible.

Some of the functionality of CPCP can be done using SIP (see the SIPPING conferencing documents http://ee.wustl.edu/~alan/sip-conf) but the advanced functionality being developed for XCON is not suitable to be implemented using SIP.

The dialog and media negotiation is between the CPS (focus) and the participants. Why would the creator care what codecs the other participants use between them and the focus? In any case, you can read more about media policy in this draft (although I don't think codec preference is part of it: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mahy-xcon-media-policy-control-00.txt The author has been looking into XCAP for this as well. > > 3.

It is required since without it, the conference cannot be addressed. The creator includes it, even though empty, as a way of indicating that it deliberately left it out for the server to fill in (not a mistake). Maybe others have a better answer.

I don't think I misunderstand this point. I did the validation work because I think a valid schema would increase the readibility. (Because of the not-wellformed schema, I had some trouble when I tried to look over if the schema was well delivering your idea. So, I did the validation work, first.) Second, I have a few questions on your document as following: 1. Your document is mentioning that CPS lets Focus know the Dial-out List, and then Focus send INVITE to the members in the list, and CPS also have the FOCUS to send BYE when there is a BLOCKED member. However, there is no explanation of HOW the CPS carries the information to the Focus. I know they are logical entities, but I don't think CPS and Focus are always configutated in local system. So, I think they need a way to communicate each other. Is this the out of scope of the XCON work? Or, do you remain this work as future work? 2. I think we need a field for describing media (or codec) information when a client requests a conference creation. I DON'T mean the negotiation of media. The preference of the client should be considered, I think. Is the "Conference-media-policy" which is not yet defined for this purpose? 3. This can be minor in the moment, but .......; You defined "Conference-URI", the sub-element of "Conference" as a required element, and "SIP-URI", the sub-element of the "Conference-URI" is also defined as a required element. However, the conferencing framework document ,and also your document are describing CPS can create the conference URI. In addition, your document mentions the conference URI can be SIP, SIPS, or TEL URI. Based on the describtions, I think it is definitely needed to define, but should not be defined as a required one. I'll appreciate your response.

I tried to correct them, and attach the schema file, which I get the successful validation message by running it into the XMLSPY. Currently, I changed or added some of definition to get a valid schema. I tried to read your intention as possible as I can, but please let me know if the corrections doesn't carry well on your intention. ----------------- The brief note of the errors is as following: 1. Namespace should be defined for 'conference-policy' in order to reuse types and elements defined in the document. [[Syntax errors]] 2. Comment type should be <!-- --> instead <! > 3. There are many cases where definitions are unappropriately ended. I cannot list all of them here; give an example: <xsd:simpleType name="Visibility-type"/> <!-- '/' not necessary --> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"> <xsd:enumeration value="visible"/> <xsd:enumeration value="invisible"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> 4.And, there are some mismatched or missed or redundant end tags. ex) <xsd:element name="Host-info"> <!-- in "Conference-time" element --> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="SIP-URI" type="xsd:anyURI" use="required"/> .......... (some elements) <xsd:sequence> <!-- you need to close the "sequence" with </xsd:sequence> --> <xsd:sequence> <!-- and, you don't need one of the two "xsd:sequence" --> <xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> [[Unvalid Schema Definition Errors]] 5. You use [use="required"] severral times in definition of elements, which is not appropriate. minOccurs="1" can be used, instead. 6. in your definition) <xsd:element name="Security-mechanism"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:attribute value="TLS" type="xsd:boolean" default="false"/> <xsd:attribute value="S-MIME" type="xsd:boolean" default="false"/> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> I got an error indicating unappropriate use of "value" in attribute; I got the validation error in the following definition. I defined the type of Security-mechanism, and reuse it for the definition. Please let me know if it is different from your intention. Then, I'll correct it as your intention. 7. <xsd:element name="Authorization-mechanism"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"> <xsd:enumeration value="Digest"/> <xsd:enumeration value="None"/> </xsd:restriction> <xsd:attribute name="Password" type="xsd:string"/> </xsd:complexType> I got an error indicating wrong use of "restrction" based enumeration value in a complexType. I tried to define the type of Authorixation-type for the enumeration values. 8. <xsd:element name="ACL"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="ACL-target-URI" type="xsd:anyURI" use="required" minOccurs="1" MaxOccurs="unbounded"/> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:attribute name="Access-type" type="Access-mode"/> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> Over the definition, the closed tag of "ACL-target-URI" element followed by MaxOccurs="unbounded" is not correct here, right? I guess you'd like to make ACL-target-URI have an attribute, am I correct? Anyway, I got an error indicating unappropriate use of attribute here, so I changed "ACL" element to the form of "PCL" and "DL" in this moment, but it is not your intention, please let me know. ------------------ I hope this will be helpful.
