Re: [AVT] Liaison from SMPTE re RFC 5109
Colin Perkins skrev:
We've received the attached liaison statement from SMPTE regarding the
non-backwards compatible nature of RFC 5109 FEC (which obsoletes RFC
2733), and the problems this is causing with SMPTE 2022-1. Comments are
solicited (to the list, or privately to the chairs), so we can make a
response reflecting working group consensus.
As an individual!
To my knowledge (based on memory) the so call RFC 2733 version that
SMPTE has defined in SMPTE 2022-1 is no more compatible with RFC 2733
than RFC 5109. SMPTE redefines which packets that got XOR, while RFC
5109 has a different data structure to perform the XOR over.
Independently, you need to implement the specific mechanism you are
using. As I can't get the document now, I wonder if the signalling of
their extension is clear enough. That is something to look into.
I would suggest that we respond that we understand their choice but
point out the reasons why we changed what data was included and in which
way. That is also the answer why we don't intended to take any larger
consideration into the growing use of RFC 2733. As we find it troubling
that the mistake in using non-generalized packet processing that RFC
2733 resulted in is getting wide spread usage instead of the corrected one.
