Ballot Text

Technical Summary
 
This RTP payload format is useful in VoIP gateways to encapsulate the 
clear channel mode of ISDN.

Working Group Summary
'
There was strong support within the AVT working group for this payload. 
It was a clear design choice to make a single payload for the 64 kbps
ISDN clear channel, and not to solve the nx64 channel designs
with the same payload format.
 
Protocol Quality
 
Payload formats similar to this, protyping the ideas, have been in 
the field for some time.  The document  was reviewed for the IESG 
by Allison Mankin.
