The IESG has received a request from the Audio/Video Transport Extensions WG (avtext) to consider the following document: - 'Content Splicing for RTP Sessions' <draft-ietf-avtext-splicing-for-rtp-07.txt> as an Informational RFC 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 2012-04-03. 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 memo outlines RTP splicing. Splicing is a process that replaces the content of the main multimedia stream with other multimedia content, and delivers the substitutive multimedia content to receiver for a period of time. This memo provides some RTP splicing use cases, then we enumerate a set of requirements and analyze whether an existing RTP level middlebox can meet these requirements, at last we provide concrete guidelines for how the chosen middlebox works to handle RTP splicing. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avtext-splicing-for-rtp/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avtext-splicing-for-rtp/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
