RE: [AVT] VoIP Shim for RTP Payload Formats



Hi

I agree that capabilities should be exhanged (eg. SDP) in order to
decide if Shim should be allowed. 
The main application is point to point communication.
Of the cases below I belive that in case 1 and 2 Shim should be avoided.
In case 3 it may be possible to use Shim if a conference bridge can do
policing on the Shim information.
