I have a couple of concerns that need to be cleared up before the document can move forward. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §4.3.4 discusses the interaction of 3PCC with the trickle ICE mechanism. Unfortunately, the diagrams used in this section do not show a 3PCC signaling flow; they show a two-party call flow with an offerless INVITE. A 3PCC call flow would necessarily involve a 3PCC controller sending an offerless INVITE to one party, receiving an offer from that party (typically in a reliable provisional response or in a 200 OK), and then sending an INVITE to the other party containing that offer. The text in this section matches the diagrams, and consequently does not appear to be an analysis of 3PCC behavior. It is an analysis of two-party offerless INVITE behavior. If this section remains, it needs to be substantially re-worked: the diagrams need to show three parties, with a 3PCC controller performing the controlling role as described in RFC 3725. While I haven't stepped through the implications for Trickle ICE when a controller is actually involved and is moving offers and answers around between different message types, I suspect that the analysis in here is substantially different once this starts happening. I would personally be okay if the entire section were removed; however, I have no desire to override working group consensus regarding the value of a section dealing with 3PCC considerations.

Also thanks to Jörg for the thorough and very helpful review! As flagged by the tsv review, there can be an issue with the aggregation of candidates in one INFO message when rate limited and the path MTU/UPD fragmentation. While this is a small point only and I'm sure it can be easily addressed, it important enough that I decided to put a discuss in. I'm sure this can be resolved quickly as well. Also if the document could give further guidance on an acceptable maximum for the rate of INFO requests that be even better! |

Thus, the Offerer needs to be prepared for receiving a different number of candidates in that repeated Answer than previously exchanged via trickling and MUST ignore the candidate information in that 200 OK response." What do I miss? Why can there be a different number of candidates if the repeated Answer needs to be exactly the same...? Or is there an "not" missing? Not an expert though, so might be just me... 2) I guess section 10.1 could also be moved to the appendix but it is short enough that leaving it in the body is fine as well. |

Unfortunately, the diagrams used in this section do not show a 3PCC signaling flow; they show a two-party call flow with an offerless INVITE. A 3PCC call flow would necessarily involve a 3PCC controller sending an offerless INVITE to one party, receiving an offer from that party (typically in a reliable provisional response or in a 200 OK), and then sending an INVITE to the other party containing that offer.

I would personally be okay if the entire section were removed; however, I have no desire to override working group consensus regarding the value of a section dealing with 3PCC considerations. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The second issue doesn't necessarily pertain to this document per se as much as it does the interaction among this document, draft-ietf-ice-trickle (Trickle ICE), draft-ietf-mmusic-ice-sip-sdp (ICE SDP), and draft-ietf-rtcweb-jsep (JSEP). The problem doesn't lie with any single document, but in the overall result of how they're currently structured. JSEP (in the RFC editor queue) refers to the "a=end-of-candidates" SDP attribute as appearing in Trickle ICE, section 9.3, which was true at one point in time. Somewhere along the line, this attribute's definition was moved from there into this document. There are several ways to fix this, each with their own drawbacks: 1. Move the SDP syntax for "a=end-of-candidates" back into the Trickle ICE draft. Drawback: Trickle ICE does not currently define any normative SDP behavior; and, in fact, could work in a system that doesn't use SDP at all. 2. Move the SDP syntax into the ICE SDP draft. This is pretty elegant from the perspective that ICE SDP defines SDP syntax for ICE in general (for both SIP and JSEP), and such a move aggregates all of the SDP syntax into a single document that is already necessary to reference from any document that uses SDP for Trickle ICE. Drawback: the document doesn't presently discuss Trickle ICE at all, and this would require a somewhat awkward section that basically says "If you use [Trickle ICE] with SDP, the syntax for the end-of-candidate marker is..." 3. Change JSEP to normatively depend on this document for the "a=end-of-candidates" syntax. Drawback: This document is extremely SIP-specific, while JSEP is based solely on RFC 4566 syntax and RFC 3264 behavior, independent of any SIP semantics. Forcing JSEP to normatively depend on a SIP specific document for a simple attribute syntax definition seems to be letting the tail wag the dog. I believe that #2 is the least inelegant option, but I'm open to #1 and #3. However, The *current* situation -- in which JSEP normatively points to a document from which the text is cites has been removed out from under it -- is clearly wrong. |

14 | Adam Roach | [Ballot comment] §4.1.4: > If the initial Answer included the attribute a=ice-options:trickle, > the Offerer MUST be prepared for receiving trickled candidates later > on. … [Ballot comment] §4.1.4: > If the initial Answer included the attribute a=ice-options:trickle, > the Offerer MUST be prepared for receiving trickled candidates later > on. I don't think this makes sense. If the initial *Offer* includes that option, then the Offerer must be prepared to receive trickled candidates, even before the Answer arrives. Figure 6 shows an example of this. I believe that the paragraph I quote above needs to be entirely removed, as it may lead implementors to incorrectly assume that they can't get trickled candidates prior to an Answer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §4.3: > o The dialog at both peers MUST be in early or confirmed state. This makes no sense. Dialogs exist in precisely two states, ever: early or confirmed. Prior to "early," they don't exist. The only exit from "confirmed" is destruction. (See RFC 3261 §12). I think what this means to say is "A dialog MUST have been created between the peers." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §4.3.2: > These retransmissions MUST > cease on receipt of an INFO request carrying a 'trickle-ice' Info > Package body or on transmission of the Answer in a 2xx response. Why does this require that specific INFO to stop retransmission? The only requirement is that the answerer knows that the offerer has received the provisional response. The offerer cannot send post-INVITE requests to the answerer until a dialog is established, and the only ways a dialog can be established at the offerer is receipt of a provisional or final response. So, as soon as you get *any* request from the offerer, you know that the provisional response has arrived. I think this passage means to say "These retransmissions MUST cease on receipt of any in-dialog request from the offerer. The offerer cannot send in-dialog requests until it receives a response, so the arrival of such a request proves that the response has arrived." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §4.3.2: > The Offerer MUST send a Trickle ICE INFO request as soon as it > receives an SDP Answer in an unreliable provisional response. This > INFO request MUST repeat the candidates that were already provided in > the Offer (as would be the case when Half Trickle is performed or > when new candidates have not been learned since then). It is probably worth mentioning that it's possible that this INFO contains no candidates, depending on how the offerer gathers its candidates and how long it takes to do so. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §4.3.3: > These retransmissions MUST cease on receipt > of an INFO request or on transmission of the Answer in a 2xx > response. Same comment as above for §4.3.2. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §4.3.4: > As specified in Section 4 this offerless INVITE > MUST include the SIP option-tag 'trickle-ice' in a SIP Supported: > header field in order to indicate support for Trickle-ICE to the > Offerer (at the User Agent Server (UAS)). How does the 3PCC controller know to include this option tag? Is it simply indicating that the 3PCC controller supports the Trickle mechanism? If so, what happens if the second party (the one who receives the offer in an INVITE) doesn't support Trickle ICE? This is one of the sharper corner cases that I think arises when you go to fix the analysis I describe in my DISCUSS above. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §4.4: > a=candidate:2 1 UDP 1694498815 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::3 5000 typ srflx > raddr 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1 rport 8998 Thanks for the IPv6 example; however, I have a *lot* of heartburn with the selection of an example that demonstrates IPv6 NAT behavior. Since ICE's srflx behavior is fundamentally tied to IPv4 NATs (and should not be an issue with IPv6, as NATs are unnecessary), I think it's okay for the srvflx examples to go ahead and show IPv4 addresses. I *really* don't want to publish an RFC that demonstrates NATting of IPv6. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §4.4: > An "a=end-of-candidates" attribute, preceding any pseudo "m=" line, > indicates the end of all trickling from that agent, as opposed to end > of trickling for a specific "m=" line, which would be indicated by a > media level "a=end-of-candidates" attribute. I finally did figure out what this meant, but it's confusing. The use of "any" in the phrase "any pseudo 'm=' line" implies that the following sdpfrag would qualify: a=ice-pwd:asd88fgpdd777uzjYhagZg a=ice-ufrag:8hhY m=audio 9 RTP/AVP 0 a=mid:1 a=candidate:1 1 UDP 2130706431 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1 5000 typ host a=candidate:1 2 UDP 2130706431 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1 5001 typ host a=end-of-candidates m=audio 9 RTP/AVP 0 a=mid:2 a=candidate:1 1 UDP 2130706431 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1 6000 typ host a=candidate:1 2 UDP 2130706431 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1 6001 typ host The end-of-candidates *does* appear before the second pseudo "m=" line, which is one of the lines (thereby satisfying the "any" criteria). I think you mean "preceding the first pseudo 'm=' line..." This is true later in the section also: > will not send any further candidates. When included at session > level, i.e. before any pseudo "m=" line, this indication applies to --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §4.4: > Note: At the time of writing this specification there were ongoing > discussions if a functionality for removing already exchanged > candidates would be useful. Such a functionality is out of the scope > of this specification and most likely needs to be signaled by means > of a yet to be defined ICE extension, although it could in principle > be achieved quite easily, e.g. without anticipating any solution by > simply omitting a previously sent candidate from a subsequent INFO > request. However, if an implementation according to this > specification receives such an INFO request with a missing candidate > it would have to treat that as an exceptional case.

This seems like an interop nightmare. If you want a note about this possibly being included in the future, please simply indicate that such an ability will need to be explicitly signaled. Don't imply that implementations might get SDP that violates the behavior defined in this document in some ill-defined way, and just need to kind of gracefully deal with it, even if we don't really know what it means at this point in time. There's no sensible way to code for that. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §4.4: > a=candidate:2 1 UDP 1694498815 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::3 5000 typ srflx > raddr 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1 rport 8998 > a=candidate:2 2 UDP 1694498815 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::3 5001 typ srflx > raddr 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1 rport 8998 ... > a=candidate:2 1 UDP 1694498815 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::3 6000 typ srflx > raddr 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1 rport 9998 > a=candidate:2 2 UDP 1694498815 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::3 6001 typ srflx > raddr 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1 rport 9998 Same comment as above regarding IPv6 and NATs. Note that it would be Good and Helpful to show SDP with a mixture of IPv4 and IPv6 anyway. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §5: > SIP User Agents (UAs) that support and intend to use trickle ICE are > required by [I-D.ietf-ice-trickle] to indicate that in their Offers > and Answers using the attribute "a=ice-options:trickle" and MUST > include the SIP option-tag "trickle-ice" in a SIP Supported: header > field. Is this intended to imply that the option tag cannot be used in a Require header field? I don't think that's a good idea; however, if that is the working group's intention, please say so explicitly. Suggest "...in a SIP 'Supported' or 'Require' header field." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §5.1: This section discusses behavior in a walled garden. I'm generally fine with this, as long as the failure modes when someone starts adding doors to the walled garden are well-defined. I don't think this kind of provisioning is okay unless it has a requirement that Offerers assuming Trickle ICE support MUST include a "Require: trickle-ice" header field. That way, if the provisioned assumption of Trickle ICE support ends up being incorrect, the failure is (a) operationally easy to track down, and (b) recoverable by the client (i.e.: they can re-send the request without the "Require" header field and without the assumption of Trickle ICE support). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §6: > This INFO request indicates that the Answerer supports and uses RTP > and RTCP multiplexing as well. It allows the Offerer to omit > gathering of RTCP candidates or releasing already gathered RTCP > candidates. It's not clear how this "releasing already gathered RTCP candidates" interacts with the requirement in §4.4: > In other words, the sequence > of a previously sent list of candidates MUST NOT change in subsequent > INFO requests and newly gathered candidates MUST be added at the end > of that list. So, if I had already trickled candidates for the RTCP component of a connection and *then* got an INFO from the Answerer indicating that it supports multiplexing, does that mean I free the resources and exclude them from future INFO messages? That seems to contravene the §4.4 requirement. Or do I free them but continue to include them? I suppose that's okay (maybe?), but it's extremely counterintuitive, and would need to be called out explicitly if you expect implementors to get it right. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §7: > A Trickle Answerer SHOULD include an "a=group: BUNDLE" attribute > [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] in the application/trickle- > ice-sdpfrag body if it supports and uses bundling. This needs to clearly indicate that this needs to be included at the session level (rather than the media level). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §7: > The Offerer can use this information e.g. for stopping the gathering > of candidates for the remaining "m=" lines in a bundle and/or for > freeing corresponding resources. Same comment as for §6, above (regarding interaction with the requirement from §4.4) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §7: > a=group:BUNDLE foo bar > a=ice-pwd:asd88fgpdd777uzjYhagZg > a=ice-ufrag:8hhY > m=audio 9 RTP/AVP 0 > a=mid:foo > a=rtcp-mux > a=candidate:1 1 UDP 1658497328 2001:db8:a0b:12f0::3 5000 typ host > m=audio 9 RTP/AVP 0 > a=mid:bar The presence of the second m= line here is confusing, given the following text from §4.4: > Note, that there is no requirement that the Info request body > contains as many pseudo m= lines as the Offer/Answer contains m= > lines, nor that the pseudo m= lines be in the same order as the > m=lines that they pertain to. The correspondence can be made via the > "a=mid:" attributes. The §4.4 text strongly implies that it is nonsensical to include an m= section without candidates. Is the example in §7 intended to imply that the section needs to be included because its mid is mentioned in the "a=group:BUNDLE" line? If so, please say so. If not, please remove the second m= section. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §9.2: The syntax for "session-level-fields", "pseudo-media-descriptions", and "trickle-ice-attribute-fields" include extremely strict rules around ordering of fields (e.g., including ice-ufrag before ice-pwd would be syntactically invalid). That level of strictness seems unlikely to lead to interoperable implementations. If the intention is to be rigid in this fashion, please add prominent prose that warns implementors that fields MUST appear in the order specified, and that all other orders are invalid and MUST be rejected. If that's *not* your intention (and I suspect it isn't), then please fix the syntax definition to allow for arbitrary ordering of attributes in the same way as SDP does. For example: session-level-fields = *(session-level-field CRLF) session-level-field = bundle-group-attribute / ice-lite-attribute / ice-pwd-attribute / ice-ufrag-attribute / ice-options-attribute / ice-pacing-attribute / end-of-candidates-attribute / extension-attribute-fields ; for future extensions --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §9.2: The syntax for "session-level-fields" implies that "ice-pwd" and "ice-ufrag" are mandatory at the session level. This seems to conflict with the text in §4.4: > The "a=ice-pwd:" and "a=ice-ufrag:" attributes MUST appear at the > same level as the ones in the Offer/Answer exchange. In other words, > if they were present as session-level attributes, they will also > appear at the beginning of all INFO request payloads, i.e. preceding > all pseudo "m=" lines. If they were originally exchanged as media > level attributes, potentially overriding session-level values, then > they will also be included in INFO request payloads following the > corresponding pseudo "m=" lines. The fix I propose above removes this implication that such attributes are mandatory at the session level; however, if you choose to fix it some other way, please ensure that the ABNF does not conflict with the normative language I quote above. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §10.6: Same comment as for §5 above. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §10.9: > If the INFO requests are sent on top of TCP, which is probably the > standard way, this is not an issue for the network anymore, but it > can remain one for SIP proxies and other intermediaries forwarding > the SIP INFO messages. Also, an endpoint may not be able to tell > that it has congestion controlled transport all the way. This seems kind of blithe about congestion control, as it concedes that the INFO requests might end up on UDP at some point. Minimally, I would think that you want to require some minimum quarantine period between INFO requests (probably something in the range of 20 ms), during which any new candidates that are gathered are aggregated into the next INFO message. =========================================================================== Nits: Expand "ICE" in the title. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- draft-ietf-mmusic-ice-sip-sdp has undergone a major restructuring since version 16; as a consequence, all notes of the form: > [RFC EDITOR NOTE: The section 4.2.1.2.1 in above sentence is correct > for version 16 of said I-D. Authors need to cross-check during > Auth48 since it could have have changed in the meantime.] ...are already out of date. It's probably worthwhile to fix these now, as they are (in my opinion) quite unlikely to change again; and the current misdirection makes it somewhat difficult to use the draft in its current form. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §4.1.3: > If the Answerer includes candidates in its initial Answerer, it MUST "...initial Answer..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §7: > A Trickle Answerer SHOULD include an "a=group: BUNDLE" attribute Remove the space before "BUNDLE" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- §11: > Trickle ICE uses two mechanism for exchange of candidate information.

It's a little strange to me to say that the core trickle spec mandates specifically the "a=ice-options:trickle" attribute, which is only defined in this document. The core spec does mandate some form of indication, but maybe it is more clear to phrase as something like: SIP User Agents (UAs) that support and intend to use trickle ICE are required by [I-D.ietf-ice-trickle] to indicate that support in their Offers and Answers. For SIP, this is done using the attribute "a=ice-options:trickle", and the SIP option-tag "trickle-ice" MUST be included in a SIP Supported: header field. In the scenario depicted in Figure 10, how is it indicated to Bob that Alice supports trickle (and should that mechanism be indicated in the figure)? |

Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-01-26. 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 The Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) protocol describes a Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal mechanism for UDP-based multimedia sessions established with the Offer/Answer model. The ICE extension for Incremental Provisioning of Candidates (Trickle ICE) defines a mechanism that allows ICE Agents to shorten session establishment delays by making the candidate gathering and connectivity checking phases of ICE non-blocking and by executing them in parallel. This document defines usage semantics for Trickle ICE with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and defines a new SIP Info Package. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mmusic-trickle-ice-sip/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mmusic-trickle-ice-sip/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.

11 | Ben Campbell | These are my AD Evaluation comments for draft-ietf-mmusic-trickle-ice-sip-11. I have quite a few comments, and would like to resolve at least the substantive comments prior … These are my AD Evaluation comments for draft-ietf-mmusic-trickle-ice-sip-11. I have quite a few comments, and would like to resolve at least the substantive comments prior to IETF Last Call. *** Substantive: - The draft needs a "deployment considerations" section relating to the presence of middleboxes that may not be aware of trickle ice. I recognize that b2bUAs may simply be endpoints that don't do trickle, but I wonder about monitoring devices, etc. Even if the answer is "there is no impact", some substantiating text would be helpful. -3.2: There seem to be some inconsistencies on how the text talks about the architectural model. For example, section 3.2 separates the "ICE agent" from the "offer/answer" module, but 3.3 talks about a "trickle ICE agent" doing offer/answer. (I suspect this is a terminilogy issue where "trickle ICE agent" as the user agent and "ICE agent" as a software module are too easily confused.) 4.1.1: What is the motivation for requiring "audio" in the M-line when one does not know any candidates in advance? What if the intended media is not audio? I don't understand why the lack of advance candidates would change that. (Maybe this is an artifact of the pseudo-M-lines from the INFO bodies?) -4.1.1, 2nd to last paragraph : "... it still MUST include the "a=rtcp-mux" and/or "a=rctp-mux-only" attribute in the initial Offer." IIUC, that's an already existing requirement from the referenced spec. If so, please do not use 2118/8174 keywords to describe it here, unless in the form of directly quoted text. -4.2.2, RFC editor note: This askes the RFC Editor to do research. I don't think that's a reasonable expectation. They may notice that sort of thing anyway, but the authors should plan to recheck references during AUTH48. (This comment applies to several other similar RFC editor notes.) -4.2.2, third paragraph after Fig 4: "or when new candidates have not been learned since then) and/or they MAY also deliver newly learned candidates (if available). The Offerer MAY include an end-of-candidates attribute in case candidate discovery has ended in the mean time." Are those MAYs really correct when the conditions are true? E.g. if you have newly learned candidates, there's only a MAY requirement to add them? Likewise, if discovery has ended, there's only a MAY requirement to add the end-of-candidates attribute? -4.2.2, 4th paragraph after fig 4: " and MAY begin trickling" that seems like a statement of fact rather than a normative offering-of-permission. -4.2.2, last paragraph: "... Answerer MUST repeat exactly the same Answer..." Is that an external requirement, or a new normative one? -4.2.3, first paragraph: "Trickle ICE Agents MAY therefore respond to an INVITE request with provisional responses without an SDP answer" That's only if the offerer indicated support for trickle ICE, right? -4.3: It seems like the use of SDP syntax in the INFO messages creates quite a bit of complexity due to the use of SDP in (even more) ways not contemplated by it's design. Did the WG discuss the possibility of using a designed-for-purpose syntax in the INFO bodies? (This is just my curiosity; I don't expect to make that sort of fundamental change this late in the process.) -4.3: Discussion of "pseudo-M-lines": A complete separation of the trickle-ice from offer/answer seems unlikely to me, since both must send and receive SIP messages in the same dialog. Is it that much harder to remember the media type than it is to remember dialog state? More to the point, are there known implementations that require this? -4.3, last bullet: "The fmt SHOULD appear only once..." Why not MUST? Would it every be reasonable to include more than one? -4.3, paragraph starting with : "Note that [I-D.ietf-ice-trickle] requires that when candidates are trickled, each candidate MUST be delivered..." Don't use 2119/8174 keywords to describe external requrements, except in directly quoted text. -4.3: 2nd paragraph prior to Fig 9: Are the discussions about removing previously exchanged candidates still in process? IMO, the "MAY" and "RECOMMENDED" in this paragraph refer to requirements that are too vague to state in normative terms. - figure 9 (and other figures including INFO bodies): Please include a real content-length value. -5, first paragraph: Please don't use normative terms to describe external requirements. -5.1, first paragraph: I'm confused by the reference to WebRTC clients. These are not assumed to use SIP at all. How are they relevant examples? -5.2: IIUC, using the GRUU means the INVITE can go only to that particular device. This seems to circumvent the recipient's ability to use forking for their own purposes. That's not a showstopper, but it deserves mention. -5.3: The comparisons to XMPP don't seem to add much, and seems like editorializing. (Also in 3.1). The fact that XMPP has more advanced discovery mechanisms is not particularly relevant unless you want to use those as an example of how to solve the problems in SIP. -6, 6th paragraph: "The Trickle Answerer MUST follow the guidance on the usage of the "a=rtcp" attribute as given in [I-D.ietf-mmusic-ice-sip-sdp] and [RFC3605]" External requirement... -8.2, first paragraph: External requirement. -9: Please comment about whether this media type is reasonable to use for other SDP related applications? I gather the answer is "no" given that it's called "trickle-ice-sdpfrag". -9.2, first paragraph: "A sender SHOULD stick to lower- case for such grammars, but a receiver SHOULD treat them case- insensitive." Why is the second SHOULD not a MUST? - 10.7: The requirement to include the payload only applies to INFO requests for this particular package, right? That is, not necessarily "all INFO requests". - 10.9: You used the need to pool candidates as a argument against using update. Doesn’t this create the same requirement? Also, do you think it reasonable that an implementation might not be concerned about this? -11.2: Please use the IESG (iesg@ietf.org) for the change control authority. The mmusic mailing list could be closed some day. -12: The registered media type refers to this document for security considerations, but I don't see any considerations specific to it here. *** Editorial and Nits: - General: IDNits shows some outdated references. Please fix before final published version. - section 1, paragraph 1: The sentence structure for listing the 3 phases is odd. The first two are in a comma separated list, but the third is in a separate sentence. I suggest breaking all 3 into separate sentences, with the needed connecting words. Missing "and" before "the second phase" I think the word "latency" would be better expressed as "delay" or "setup delay", etc. Too many readers are going to think of "latency" in terms of network latency (i.e packet delivery). - 1, paragraph 2: "simultaneously" I think the operating idea is that they can happen in "parallel" or "be interleaved". -2: Please use the new boilerplate in RFC 8174, unless you specifically want lower case versions of the RFC 2119 keywords to be interpreted in their 2119 sense. -2, 2nd paragraph: "This specification makes use of all terminology..." I suggest removing "all". -3.2, first paragraph: I think "the exception of the actual INFO messages," is too big of an exception for this paragraph to be meaningul. For example, this is a huge change for middleboxes that pay attention to the SDP (e.g. SBCs); I think saying that things "would look the same" is an overstatement. -4, item 5: "Note that in case of forking multiple early dialogs will exist." s/will/may (or "might" if you want to avoid "may") -4.1.1, 2nd paragraph: "...before knowing any candidate of one or more media descriptions..." s/of/for -4.1.1, last paragraph: This seems redundant to the similar statement in section 4, item 2. -4.1.2, last paragraph: s/neither/none (unless you expect there to be exactly 2 trickled candidates.) -4.2.1, title (and several related titles): I think that usage of "asserting" will trip up some users. Consider "establishing" instead. - Figure 3: This figure needs a comment about the meaning of "+SRFLX Cand.", similar to those for later figures. -4.2.3, first paragraph: s/possibility/ability -4.2.3, paragraph after Fig 6: "When sending the Answer, the agent MUST repeat all currently known and used candidates, if any, and MAY include all newly gathered candidates since the last INFO request was sent. If that Answer was sent in a unreliable provisional response, the Answerers MUST repeat exactly the same Answer in the 200 OK response to the INVITE request in order to fulfill the corresponding requirements in [RFC3264]." This seems self contradictory, but could be fixed with some connecting language like "However", or "An exception..." -4.2.4, title: Spell out 3PCC on first mention. Also, an informational citation would be helpful. -4.3, 3 paragraphs prior to Fig 9: "is an indication of the peer agent that it will not send any further candidates" s/of/from -4.3, last paragraph before Fig 9: Please refer to the figure by number rather than relative position. -5.2, title: Expand "GRUU" on first mention. First paragraph: s/"SIP US"/"SIP UA" "... require SIP support" - Should that say "trickle ICE support"? 2nd paragraph: Please define "targeted trickling" -7, 4th paragraph: I don't understand the meaning of "latest on..." in this context. -7, paragraph between "offer" and "INFO" examples: "Once the dialog is established as described in section Section 4.2 the Answerer sends the following INFO request." The word "section" is repeated. -9.2, first paragraph: "It specifies the subset of existing SDP attributes, that are needed..." s/are/is (the phrase constrains "subset", not "attributes"). "The grammar uses the indicator for case-sensitivity %s is defined in [RFC7405], but also imports grammars for other SDP attributes that precede the production of that RFC. " I can't parse that sentence. - 10.1, 2nd paragraph: s/introduces/"would introduce" 3rd paragraph: s/"one exchange"/"one active exchange" - 11.2: Weird line spacing. "Applications which use this Media Type: The listed applications only use this media type when using trickle-ice, right? Would it make sense to just include "trickle-ice"? |

The approval announcement contains the following sections: Technical Summary The Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) protocol describes a Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal mechanism for UDP-based multimedia sessions established with the Offer/Answer model. The ICE extension for Incremental Provisioning of Candidates (Trickle ICE) defines a mechanism that allows ICE Agents to shorten session establishment delays by making the candidate gathering and connectivity checking phases of ICE non-blocking and by executing them in parallel. This document defines usage semantics for Trickle ICE with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and defines a new Info Package as specified in [RFC6086]. Working Group Summary Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? The document has been a WG document since 2014, where it saw significant interest in the WG. The documen has since then undergone several changes as a result of WG feedback, however none of those have been controversial. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type review, on what date was the request posted? We have not received information about current implementations, however the document is a companion document to draft-ietf-ice-trickle, which is a normative dependency for the W3C WebRTC specification. Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd? Who is the Responsible Area Director? Flemming Andreasen is the Document Shepherd Ben Campbell is the Responsible Area Director (3) Briefly describe the review of this document that was performed by the Document Shepherd. If this version of the document is not ready for publication, please explain why the document is being forwarded to the IESG. I have reviewed -08 in detail (which resulted in a few updates) as well as the most recent versions. The document is ready for publication. (4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed? Earlier versions of the document saw decent WG participation and review, however there has been very little review and feedback since the -07 version. The WGLC in particular did not produce any feedback (positive or negative). (5) Do portions of the document need review from a particular or from broader perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, AAA, DNS, DHCP, XML, or internationalization? If so, describe the review that took place. The document defines a new Media Type, and a request for review was sent out on October 12, 2017 (no feedback received as of November 14, 2017). (6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document Shepherd has with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any event, if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns here. N/A (7) Has each author confirmed that any and all appropriate IPR disclosures required for full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79 have already been filed. If not, explain why. Each author has confirmed. (8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document? If so, summarize any WG discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR disclosures. N/A (9) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it? Earlier versions of the document saw decent WG participation and good WG consensus. More recent versions have seen very little feedback (but there are no known concerns either). (10) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the Responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this questionnaire is publicly available.) N/A (11) Identify any ID nits the Document Shepherd has found in this document. (See https://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ and the Internet-Drafts Checklist). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be thorough. No nits found. (12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews. The document defines a new Media Type. A request for review was sent to media-types@iana.org on October 12, 2017. As of November 14, 2017, no feedback has been received. (13) Have all references within this document been identified as either normative or informative? Yes (14) Are there normative references to documents that are not ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such normative references exist, what is the plan for their completion? - [I-D.ietf-ice-trickle] has undergone WGLC (in the ICE WG) and is expected to move to Publication Request soon - [I-D.ietf-mmusic-ice-sip-sdp] has undergone WGLC. A minor update is expected after which it will move to Publication Request - [I-D.ietf-mmusic-mux-exclusive] is in the RFC Editor Queue - [I-D.ietf-mmusic-rfc5245bis] is in the process of moving to Publication Request - [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] is nearing completion. - [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes] is in the RFC Editor Queue (15) Are there downward normative references references (see RFC 3967)? If so, list these downward references to support the Area Director in the Last Call procedure. N/A (16) Will publication of this document change the status of any existing RFCs? Are those RFCs listed on the title page header, listed in the abstract, and discussed in the introduction? If the RFCs are not listed in the Abstract and Introduction, explain why, and point to the part of the document where the relationship of this document to the other RFCs is discussed. If this information is not in the document, explain why the WG considers it unnecessary. N/A (17) Describe the Document Shepherd's review of the IANA considerations section, especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the document. Confirm that all protocol extensions that the document makes are associated with the appropriate reservations in IANA registries. Confirm that any referenced IANA registries have been clearly identified. Confirm that newly created IANA registries include a detailed specification of the initial contents for the registry, that allocations procedures for future registrations are defined, and a reasonable name for the new registry has been suggested (see RFC 5226). Reviewed and confirmed. (18) List any new IANA registries that require Expert Review for future allocations. Provide any public guidance that the IESG would find useful in selecting the IANA Experts for these new registries. N/A (19) Describe reviews and automated checks performed by the Document Shepherd to validate sections of the document written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc. ABNF has been verified with Bill Fenner's ABNF parser. |
