Abstract:
It can be useful for applications to provide flow metadata
information to on-path devices to influence flow treatment in the
network. Provided that the network is able to provide useful
feedback, this can also influence path selection if an application
have multiple flow paths to choose from.
This draft describes how this can be achieved by adding metadata to
the STUN packets sent during the ICE connectivity checks or a
slightly modified version of the keep-alive mechanism. Devices on
the media path can use the metadata information to prioritize the
flow, perform traffic engineering, or provide network analytics and
notifications as requested by the endpoints. On-path devices can
append or modify the existing metadata information in the STUN/ICE
messages to enable feedback to other on-path devices or the
applications in both ends of the media session.
This document describes a framework mechanism for how such metadata
can be transported by STUN when ICE is in use and it covers the
endpoint and on path device processing. The functionality described
here is referred to as MALICE.
