"Media Control Channel Framework", Chris Boulton, Tim Melanchuk, Scott McGlashan, 26-Feb-09. ( bytes)

This document describes a Framework and protocol for application deployment where the application programming logic and media processing are distributed. This implies that application programming logic can seamlessly gain access to appropriate resources that are not co-located on the same physical network entity. The framework uses the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to establish an application-level control mechanism between application servers and associated external servers such as media servers. The motivation for the creation of this Framework is to provide an interface suitable to meet the requirements of a distributed, centralized conference system, as defined by the IETF. It is not, however, limited to this scope and it is envisioned that this generic Framework will be used for a wide variety of de-coupled control architectures between network entities.

"An Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Control Package for the Media Control Channel Framework", Scott McGlashan, Tim Melanchuk, Chris Boulton, 2-Mar-09. ( bytes)

This document defines a Media Control Channel Framework Package for Interactive Voice Response (IVR) dialog interaction on media connections and conferences. The package defines dialog management request elements for preparing, starting and terminating dialog interactions, as well as associated responses and notifications. Dialog interactions are specified in a dialog language. This package defines a lightweight IVR dialog language (supporting prompt playback, runtime controls, DTMF collect and media recording) and allows other dialog languages to be used. The package also defines elements for auditing package capabilities and IVR dialogs.

"A Mixer Control Package for the Media Control Channel Framework", Scott McGlashan, Tim Melanchuk, Chris Boulton, 28-May-09. ( bytes)

This document defines a Media Control Channel Framework Package for managing mixers for media conferences and connections. The package defines request elements for managing conference mixers, managing mixers between conferences and/or connections, as well as associated responses and notifications. The package also defines elements for auditing package capabilities and mixers.

"Media Control Channel Framework (CFW) Call Flow Examples", Alessandro Amirante, Tobia Castaldi, Lorenzo Miniero, Simon Romano, 13-Jul-09. ( bytes)

This document provides a list of typical Media Control Channel Framework [I-D.ietf-mediactrl-sip-control-framework] call flows. It aims at being a simple guide to the use of the interface between Application Servers and MEDIACTRL-based Media Servers, as well as a base reference documentation for both implementors and protocol researchers.

"Media Resource Brokering", Chris Boulton, Lorenzo Miniero, 21-May-09. ( bytes)

The MediaCtrl work group in the IETF is currently proposing an architecture for controlling media services. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) will be used as the signalling protocol which provides many inherent capabilities for message routing. In addition to such signalling properties, a need exists for intelligent, application level media service selection based on non-static signalling properties. This is especially true when considered in conjunction with deployment architectures that include 1:M and M:M combinations of Application Servers and Media Servers.
