The IESG has approved 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-06.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Audio/Video Transport Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gonzalo Camarillo and Robert Sparks. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avtext-client-to-mixer-audio-level/ Technical Summary 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. Working Group Summary The document is a product of the AVTEXT working group. Document Quality Vidyo has a working implementation of this internet-draft. Personnel Keith Drage is the document's shepherd. Gonzalo Camarillo is the responsible AD.
