Abstract

   This document specifies how the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP)
   can be instantiated as a data channel sub-protocol, using the SDP
   offer/answer exchange-based external negotiation defined in [I-
   D.ietf-mmusic-data-channel-sdpneg]. Two network configurations are
   documented: a WebRTC end-to-end configuration (connecting two BFCP
   over data channel endpoints), and a gateway configuration
   (connecting an BFCP over data channel endpoint with an BFCP over
   TCP/IP (or over UDP/IP) endpoint).

   << Editor's note: version 00 relates to a skeleton draft with scope

1. Introduction

1.1. Motivation

   FIXTHIS

1.2. Framework of WebRTC data applications

   There are multiple IP application protocols which using WebRTC data
   channels as transport, such as MSRP or T.140 besides BFCP. The SDP-
   based indication and negotiation of such WebRTC data applications at
   call control signalling level follows common principles. The first
   WebRTC application from this suite is/was the MSRP-based instant
   messaging service for WebRTC, see [I-D.ietf-mmusic-msrp-usage-data-
   channel]. This specification for BFCP was derived from that document
   and uses an aligned clause structuring.

   It may be noted that the BFCP protocol as such is simpler in
   comparison to the MSRP, which requires an extended set of SDP
   elements (in comparison to BFCP) for the description of specific
   MSRP services and their protocol parameter settings. The NAT
   traversal situation at IP application protocol layer ("Layer(s) 4+")
   is also simpler for BFCP than for MSRP because BFCP does not carry
   network and/or transport address information in the BFCP message.

4. Prinicples

4.1. BFCP Data Channel

   FIXTHIS

4.2. Session Mapping

   In this design, the BFCP "session" maps to the SCTP association and
   the "SCTP stream pair" assigned to the data channel, and each BFCP
   "session" maps to one data channel exactly.

5. End-to-End Configuration

5.1. Basic BFCP Support

5.1.1. Session Negotiation

5.1.1.1. Use of dcmap Attribute

11.1. Initial draft-schwarz-mmusic-bfcp-usage-data-channel-00

   o  The initial document represents a skeleton where almost all
      clauses are still empty.

   o  The intention is to propose a document structure aligned with the
      MSRP draft.
