[AVT] RTCP unicast feedback for measurement applications?

[Fiandra Riccardo <riccardo.fiandra@fastweb.it>]

Gents,
I was interested in the "RTCP Extensions for Single-Source Multicast
Sessions with Unicast Feedback" draft.
Actually, I was wondering if it is also targeted to have a very large and
distribuited network measurement framework.
Where multicast receivers (thousands) use RTCP to send report to a
measurement collector about packet loss, jitter, or other.
I see really many advantages on that for e2e measurements, especially in a
scenario where thousands of receivers are always connected to the network
and cannot send multicast (common scenario for an operator, even without
SSM...).

My questions are:
-Was this a scenario of application when writing the draft?
-In this case, could I use the RTCP channel multicasted to the receivers to
control them?
-Do you see any extension possible also for ptp rtp connections (forward
rtcp reports to another device?)

Tanx in advance for any feedback

Riccardo
