  2. Outline • The Problem • A Solution • The Way Forward • Open Issues

  3. The Problem (1 of 2) • The most commonly used SDP bandwidth modifier is AS:Application specific maximum. • SDP and “b=“ is used to signal bandwidth in SIP, SAP, and RTSP. • Usage of NAT-PT (Network Address Translation – Protocol Translation) as an IPv4 to IPv6 transition mechanism does not work for “b=AS”. • Other mechanisms altering the overhead are also problematic to take into consideration.

  4. The Problem (2 of 2) • In some cases it is impossible to know which IP version that is included in AS. • The packet rate is required for conversions.

  5. A Solution • Define a transport independent version of the AS bandwidth modifier (TIAS), i.e. only payload bitrate. • Define attributes for maximum packet rate (a=maxprate) • The maximum bandwidth over a link can then be calculated as: BW = TIAS + maxprate*size(IP/UDP/RTP) • Define default behavior for RTCP that will give all participants equal send rate, although not equal bit rate.

  6. The Way Forward • Intended as a simple and quick fix that can be used until SDP-NG becomes available. • SDP-NG must consider the problems in more detail. • Is needed for different services that will run over NAT-PTs. For example 3GPP’s Packet-based Streaming Service needs accurate bandwidth modifiers for radio resource allocation and to determine if a session can be supported. • To meet the 3GPP deadlines, an RFC is needed June 2003. Target: WG Last call in January. • New version before Christmas.

  7. Open Issues • May this work become a MMUSIC Work Group Item? • Is there any need at all for average packet rates? • Usage of TIAS on session level? • Is the RTCP solution satisfactory? • Influence the draft-ietf-avt-rtcp-bw-05.txt? • Protocol Interactions need review!
