Purpose
• The draft defines a framework and
requirements for allowing endpoints with
different capabilities to participate in a
conference, with each endpoint being able
to use as high-quality media as possible
IETF 83 - CLUE - March 2012

Overview
• A set of selected use cases
– Each focusing on an end-point “quality
category”
– Tries to avoid transcoding
• Proposed methods to support the above
– RTP usage
– Signaling extensions

Assumptions
• End-points of different “quality categories”
are present in the same conference
• It is desirable to use as high quality media
as possible to every end-point
• A more capable, higher quality, end-point
can always receive a lower quality stream
encoded with the same codec

cases and proposed solutions into account
in its work and when progressing the WG
