The IESG has received a request from the Audio/Video Transport Extensions WG (avtext) to consider the following document: - 'A Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) Header Extension for Client-to- Mixer Audio Level Indication' <draft-ietf-avtext-client-to-mixer-audio-level-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-10-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines a mechanism by which packets of Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) audio streams can indicate, in an RTP header extension, the audio level of the audio sample carried in the RTP packet. In large conferences, this can reduce the load on an audio mixer or other middlebox which wants to forward only a few of the loudest audio streams, without requiring it to decode and measure every stream that is received. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avtext-client-to-mixer-audio-level/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avtext-client-to-mixer-audio-level/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
