Nit Re: Last Call: draft-wing-behave-symmetric-rtprtcp (Common Local Transmit and Receive Ports (Symmetric RTP)) to BCP

[peter_blatherwick at mitel.com]

Hi, 
I have a nit on this otherwise highly
useful draft as it goes to Last Call.  

I believe the reference to MGCP [RFC3435],
sec 1 page 3, should be removed and replaced by reference to Megaco / H.248
instead (RFC 3525 / 3015).  Correspondingly, the reference to it in
section 8.2 should also be replaced.  The reason for this is MGCP
is not actually an IETF-sanctioned protocol, whereas Megaco/H.248 is.  
MGCP was developed outside of IETF process, and is actually not considered
to be "standards-based".  See the IESG Note on the cover
page of RFC3435.  

I would certainly hope that IETF &
IESG would point to its own standard in this area (Megaco), rather than
a non-sanctioned document.  I believe this entirely editorial in nature.
 

Regards,
Peter Blatherwick
