The IESG has approved the following document: - 'RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Port for Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) Sessions' (draft-ietf-avt-rtcp-port-for-ssm-04.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Audio/Video Transport Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Robert Sparks and Gonzalo Camarillo. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avt-rtcp-port-for-ssm/ Technical Summary The Session Description Protocol (SDP) has an attribute that allows RTP applications to specify an address and a port associated with the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) traffic. In RTP-based source-specific multicast (SSM) sessions, the same attribute is used to designate the address and the RTCP port of the Feedback Target in the SDP description. However, the RTCP port associated with the SSM session itself cannot be specified by the same attribute to avoid ambiguity, and thus, is required to be derived from the "m=" line of the media description. Deriving the RTCP port from the "m=" line imposes an unnecessary restriction. This document removes this restriction by introducing a new SDP attribute. Working Group Summary The document achieved consensus in the AVT working group. Document Quality The document was reviewed by both the AVT and MMUSIC working groups. Personnel Keith Drage is the document shepherd. Robert Sparks is the responsible AD. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
