+ Update to Remove DVI4 from the Recommended Codecs for the RTP Profile
+ for Audio and Video Conferences with Minimal Control (RTP/AVP)
+
+Abstract
+
+ The RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences with Minimal Control
+ (RTP/AVP) is the basis for many other profiles, such as the Secure
+ Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP/SAVP), the Extended RTP Profile for
+ Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP)-Based Feedback
+ (RTP/AVPF), and the Extended Secure RTP Profile for RTCP-Based
+ Feedback (RTP/SAVPF). This document updates RFC 3551, the RTP/AVP
+ profile (and by extension, the profiles that build upon it), to
+ reflect changes in audio codec usage since that document was
+ originally published.
+
+Status of This Memo
+
+ This is an Internet Standards Track document.
+
+ This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force
+ (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has
+ received public review and has been approved for publication by the
+ Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on
+ Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 5741.
+
+ Information about the current status of this document, any errata,

+
+1. Introduction
+
+ [RFC3551] says that audio applications operating under the RTP/AVP
+ profile SHOULD be able to send and receive PCMU and DVI4. However,
+ in practice, many RTP deployments do not support DVI4, and there is
+ little reason to use it when much more modern codecs are available.
+ This document updates the recommended audio codec selection for the
+ RTP/AVP profile and removes the SHOULD for DVI4. By extension, this
+ also updates the profiles that build on RTP/AVP, including RTP/SAVP
+ [RFC3711], RTP/AVPF [RFC4585], and RTP/SAVPF [RFC5124].
+
+2. Terminology
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
+ document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

+
+
+3. Updates to RFC 3551
+
+ The following text of [RFC3551] is hereby updated as set forth in
+ Section 3.1:
+
+ Audio applications operating under this profile SHOULD, at a
+ minimum, be able to send and/or receive payload types 0 (PCMU)
+ and 5 (DVI4). This allows interoperability without format
+ negotiation and ensures successful negotiation with a conference
+ control protocol.
+
+3.1. Updates to Section 6 of RFC 3551
+
+ This document updates the final paragraph of Section 6 of RFC 3551 by
+ replacing "payload types 0 (PCMU) and 5 (DVI4)" with "payload
+ type 0 (PCMU)". We also add a final sentence to that paragraph that
+ states, "Some environments necessitate support for PCMU". This
+ results in the following paragraph:
+
+ Audio applications operating under this profile SHOULD, at a
+ minimum, be able to send and/or receive payload type 0 (PCMU).
+ This allows interoperability without format negotiation and
+ ensures successful negotiation with a conference control protocol.
+ Some environments necessitate support for PCMU.
+
+4. Security Considerations
+
+ This document does not introduce any new security considerations for
+ [RFC3551].
+
+5. Acknowledgments
+
+ Thanks to Colin Perkins for suggesting this update.
