The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A General Mechanism for RTP Header Extensions' (draft-ietf-avtcore-rfc5285-bis-14.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Audio/Video Transport Core Maintenance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adam Roach, Alexey Melnikov and Ben Campbell. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avtcore-rfc5285-bis/ Technical Summary This document provides a general mechanism to use the header extension feature of RTP (the Real-Time Transport Protocol). It provides the option to use a small number of small extensions in each RTP packet, where the universe of possible extensions is large and registration is de-centralized. The actual extensions in use in a session are signaled in the setup information for that session. The document obsoletes RFC5285 Working Group Summary This document has had no major discussions. There has been some discussion concerning RTP protocol level and the higher applications dependency on header extension elements and the possibility of removing them. Document Quality This is an update of the previous document to address some issues learned in the usage and further specification of RTP header extensions following RFC5285. The amount of review has been sufficient but not great. Personnel The document shepherd is Magnus Westerlund and the responsible AD is Ben Campbell.
