I will be driving from RTP on Saturday. So, I can join a dinner on
Sunday if anybody interested. I'll leave at 8pm on 18th out of DCA. And,
we can start at 9am on both days.

You all have a nice long weekend.

Yes, a bit.. Sorry I haven't sent something out before but I've been
on the road the past week and still have more road ahead.

What we need first is for someone to volunteer to outline the current
relevant work from the other groups, ie RMT

Mark is the primary keeper of our requirements draft so we need
confirmation that he will be able to make the interim meeting.

Then with the requirements and an understanding of the current
relevant work we can begin to address what extensions are necessary to
meet our goals of FECFrame.

So who is willing and able to provide the outline of current relevant work?

Thanks,
Greg

<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; unicast.<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; This has the potential to become an essential piece of technology<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; underpinning IPTV.<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; We need to have a meeting of the design team (6 people), and have<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; settled on the week of<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; September 17th. We estimate that this will require the use of a
<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; room for a day and a half, but I would<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; like to secure a room for 2 days in total (9 to 5) in case we run<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; long.<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; At present, I think that everyone is available for the entire<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; week, and so room availability could determine<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; which two days we meet.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Do you think that there is any chance we could meet at GMU ?<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Basically, we would need a<br>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; conference room or classroom for 2 days. Let me know what you think.

OK, I have called the

Stafford House Bed & Breakfast
3746 Chain Bridge Road
Fairfax, VA  22030

to see if they have any room - they are the only one close enough to  
comfortably walk to GMU. I don't know if they are affordable, though.

None of the others have the slightest bit of charm - I would  
recommend the

Courtyard by Marriott - Fair Oaks
11220 Lee Jackson Hwy.
Fairfax, VA  22030

It is easy to get to by car (just off I-66), and has bus ability too.

Regards
Marshall

P.S. If any one wants to stay at
Canary Cottage Bed & Breakfast

ph: (703) 322-1811

8.0 miles from Fairfax Campus
7153 Main Street
Clifton, VA  20124

let me know - I live in Clifton and can give you a ride.

They have only 1 room available - a Suite with a King size bed.

$ 159 for 1 person
$ 179 for 2 (but you have to share the bed)

Hi everyone,

One topic that I believe we need to discuss is the definition of
FEC-related parameters within SDP. That is, we need to identify what
kind of FEC parameters need to be conveyed through SDP between the
receiver(s) and sender(s) so that the senders generate the right FEC and
the receivers know what they receive. Possible parameters are the
session identifiers, protection period, block size, FEC coding scheme,
FEC type, annex type (sending arrangements), etc.

Some parameters are algorithm-specific (e.g., L and D values for CoP3
and the seed information for Raptor). We may need these as well,
however, we should have the right amount of abstraction.

As far as I know, there is not much about this in the current IETF
documents. DVB is pushing for the hybrid FEC (CoP3 + Raptor), however, I
am not sure what is proposed to negogiate the algorithm-specific
parameters between the receiver and sender. RFC 4756 is not much help
from this perspective, either.

I am hoping we can make a progress in this front and will have a draft
for the December meeting.

BTW, this work may require a joint collaboration between FECframe and
MMUSIC as well as AVT WGs.

Ali

Ali,

I agree. This is an important topic for next week.

The current fecframe draft envisages an approach similar to that taken by
the FEC Building Block in RMT. In this approach we would define 'containers'
for FEC-scheme-specific information, with the intention that each FEC Scheme
will define exactly the information it needs and how it should be coded into
the container.

Content delivery protocols can then define mechanisms for carrying these
'containers' in a way which is independent of the FEC Scheme used.

So, the first task is for us to identify which information is 'FEC Scheme
independent', for which we must define specific protocol elements. This
includes at least the identity of the FEC Scheme. Then we can define a
container for the FEC-Scheme-specific information. In RMT, both kinds of
information are referred to as FEC Object Transmission Information.

FYI, in DVB they have their own XML-based 'Service Discovery and Selection'
scheme which is used to advertise services and communicate the information
needed to access the service (e.g. Multicast address). The FEC information
is carried here too. DVB also defines RTSP headers to negotiate this
information.

...Mark

One todo that arose in Prague was the need for an RFC/Draft Rosetta
Stone - at the minimum a list of related IETF documents from which we
may extend for the FecFrame proto work. As usual nobody has come
forward to create such a list.

The call is still out. :) Even if you simply send document titles to
this list I can compile the list of docs for reference next week.

I've asked Ali to give a quick overview of SDP issues to seed some
discussion. Other real-world requirement discussions are welcome and
encouraged.

Thanks,
Greg

All,

I am staying at the Marriott - is anyone else staying there and planning to
get a car ? If so then I'll just get taxis to/from the airport.

Anyone want to meet for a later dinner on Sunday ? I guess I'll get to the
hotel around 8-8.30.

...Mark

Here are the basic directions :


Directions to meeting location (Science & Technology II bldg, room 320):
Park in the Sandy Creek parking deck: http://coyote.gmu.edu/map/=20
maphtml/parkingdeck2.html
Walk across the road to the Science & Technology II bldg, it is =20
within view from the parking deck: http://coyote.gmu.edu/map/maphtml/=20
st21.html
Elevator to the third floor, turn left, go to the end of the hall, =20
turn right and on your right will be the conference room, room 320.

3 choices :

1.) At the room, at 9:00 AM
2.) At the student center food court (it's just what it sounds like) =20
at, say, 8:30

http://coyote.gmu.edu/map/maphtml/gwjc1.html

Johnson Center:
Ground Floor: Mason's own Jazzman's Caf=E9 and the Bistro are popular =20=

partners on the ground floor of the Johnson Center. Jazzman's =20
features live music and cool jazz, signature pastries, salads, =20
sandwiches, and the full range of coffee drinks and teas a la =20
Seattle's Best, while the Bistro offers a wide variety of carefully =20
prepared comfort foods and fantastic atmosphere.
The Center Court on the Main Level Boasts
Taco Bell
Burger King
Italian fare at La Vincita
Pan-Asian specialties at Charlie Chang's Kwai
Charleston Market
Sub sandwiches on fresh baked breads at the Sub Connection
Vegan and vegetarian foods at Fresh'n Lite
Healthful smoothies, decadent dairy, and cookies at Fresh=EBns
Caf=E9 with great coffees, local baked goods, and a New York-style deli =20=

counter at La Patisserie
All the best of Starbuck's, and the convenience of grab and go can be =20=

found at the Express
Third Floor: George's Restaurant features well-rounded hot and cold =20
favorites, white linens, and flowers.

I would suggest the Jazzman's Cafe from all of this.

3.) We meet outside GMU at 8:00 for a proper breakfast. There are =20
AFAIK no great breakfast places in Fairfax City, so
we might as well meet at the Marriot.

Regards
Marshall

I'm staying at:

Hilton Garden Inn Fairfax
3950 Fair Ridge Drive
Fairfax, VA  22030

Looks like we're scattered.. I'll try to switch to the Marriott, and I
will have a car. Plus, I think Mark and I are on the same plane out of
Dulles on Tuesday evening.

I am staying at the Marriot and I have a car.  I won't arrive until
11:30 pm though.

I am going in and out of National.

All,

I am staying at the Marriott - is anyone else staying there and planning
to
get a car ? If so then I'll just get taxis to/from the airport.

Anyone want to meet for a later dinner on Sunday ? I guess I'll get to
the
hotel around 8-8.30.

...Mark

Not so much on Sunday night, it gets tough after 10:00 PM. If all  
else fails, the Amphora is open 24 hours (go North on 123 until you  
get to Vienna, it will be on the left just after Nutley). It's got  
all sorts of conventional food and some Greek fare.

Marshall

Grim news from me...

I picked-up an infection last week in India which apparently has not
been fully eradicated. It seems to have returned yesterday. I got up
this morning with the intention of making the flight to DC but decided
it was not the right thing to do considering my current condition.

I've spoken with Marshall and he's going to try to secure access in
our room at GW so as to vid-conference me in for the duration of the
meeting - so I'll be there in the form of a TV-head.

Sorry for this last-minute change on my part but I'm confident we'll
progress despite my absence - or perhaps because of my absence. ;-)

Thank you for your understanding. Let's hope I can shake this bug for good.

Greg

Note this text from Section 6.3

    The IP and transport header fields MUST be identical to those of the
    original source packet.  The Original transport Payload field  
MUST be
    identical to the transport payload of the original source packet.
    The transport payload of the FEC Source packet MUST consist of the
    Original Transport Payload followed by the Source FEC Payload ID
    field, if required.

There are certain problems with this if you are thinking of a "dumb  
source" sending to a
FEC box and then out to the world. As this is the use case I am  
personally interested in, and as I see this as the likely major use  
for FECFRAMEs, we need to support it.

Note that the above text states clearly that _FEC protected sources  
keep their original source IP addresses_.
If the FEC protection is not done in the same box, it is a  
_middleware_ box. There was some discussion earlier this week that  
implied otherwise.

Now, some things are clearly missing here :

- I think that the RTT MUST be decremented by 1 if the FEC is applied  
by another box. (You don't want loops of the form  Source -> FEC ->  
Source -> FEC -> infinity.)

- The _Length_ field of the IP header MUST be changed if the FEC  
Payload ID is used.

- The _Length_ field of the UDP header MUST be changed if the FEC  
Payload ID is used.

- The _Check Sum_ field of the UDP header MUST be changed if the FEC  
Payload ID is used.

(Note that DCCP allows for check sums over part of the data of the  
packet, including all or none.

Do we want to require DCCP in FECFRAME to extend the check sum to  
cover the FEC Payload ID ? Note the implication. I may say, in video  
encoding foo, the first 100 bytes are critical, so I will apply the  
checksum to them, but the next 1300 bytes are not so much, so I will  
tolerate bit errors, and so the check sum only applies to the first  
100 bytes. Then, if we apply FEC, that means that either we have to  
tolerate bit errors in the FEC Payload ID, which seems very dicey, or  
we have to ignore their scheming.

In fact, shouldn't this be done in any case ? Won't even single bit  
errors in payload potentially cause catastrophic errors in recovery  
of lost packets if the errored packet is used in their recovery ? So,

- The _Check Sum_ field of the DCCP header MUST be changed if the FEC  
Payload ID is used, and the check sum MUST be extended to cover the  
entire length of the DCCP data payload, including the FEC Payload ID,  
if any.

Now, for the MTU issue. This is something that rears its ugly head  
whenever you start adding headers or trailers to  packets is the MTU  
issue. Many packets of media flows are sent at the MTU limit, so  
adding even a few bytes
can cause the packet to be too big, resulting in fragmentation and  
dropped packets. Many networks will drop all fragmented packets, due  
to the overhead they cause and possible security worries, so just  
ignoring this is bad.

The FEC Payload ID, if used, will definitely cause this problem.

I don't see any text about this, and there needs to be.

This is a mess, because the packet may have an internal sequence  
number, so you can't just have the FEC scheme divide them. Solutions are

- a statement on source configuration should be added :

Sources of data intended for the application of FEC SHOULD be  
configured to allow for the insertion of the maximum size FEC Payload  
ID if the MTU of the distribution network is known, and MUST be  
configured to not send packets large enough to violate the maximum  
size of an IP packet once the FEC Payload ID is added.

- We could make the FEC scheme know or guess the MTU and do something  
if it will violate it, like replacing data packets for repair packets  
if the MTU will be violated  (this seems very dicey to me for a bunch  
of reasons).

Any ideas ? I think I should send this to the WG list.

Regards
Marshall

P.S. Note that in the IETF web site, expired WG drafts can be found  
at sites like

Hi everyone,

Regarding the SDP signaling for FEC, I have something missing in my
notes. As far as I remember, we mainly discussed the offer/answer model
for our framework. That is, we said that the sender could offer multiple
(nested or not) FEC flows (each probably with different levels of
protection, latency budgets, priority, etc) from which the receiver(s)
can select and join the corresponding multicast group to receive the
repair packets.

However, this offer/answer model does not let the receiver ask for a
particular FEC scheme from the sender. Does it? This can be particularly
useful in unicast applications (or even in multicast when there is a
middle box that manages the sender on behalf of the receivers), where
the receiver should be able to ask from the sender whatever FEC it wants
to receive or the receiver can let the sender know how much buffering it
can tolerate. Remember the min_buffer_time attribute? The receiver
should also be able to set this ...=20

Can we do this by using the same FEC Framework Configuration Information
and FEC-Scheme-Specific Information that we use for the offer/answer
model? What is the best way to execute this "on-demand" model?

Any thoughts?

Hi all,

I am trying to identify the pros and cons of using opaque information
for signaling the fec-scheme-specific info. I am aware of that RMT
adopted the same approach for object transmission information and if a
receiver is not compatible with a particular FEC scheme, then it does
not have to parse that information.=20

Yet, I believe it is still important to make a strong case why we put
that information in an opaque form rather than in a human-readable form?

I checked the RFC 5052, however, could not find much detail on this. One
of my concerns is that can the opacity lead to some sort of abusing?=20

Any one with a prior experience on using opaque stuff in a protocol
header? Comments?

-acbegen

Modern Codecs tend to use a lot of opaque information, which bugs me,  
but we are not going to change that.

Most streaming codecs make the SDP file from the presented encoded  
data to stream. Encoded information might be all sorts of things,  
aspect ratios, GOP structure, audio bit rates, stereo vs mono, etc.  
If the streamer gets something wrong, it is very hard to fix it in  
the SDP file, even if you know what it should be, because it is  
opaque. This has caused me considerable pain in the past.

I am sure that it more efficient to base 64 encode a 500 character  
string rather than send it in Ascii, but
this seems a strange efficiency argument when you are talking about a  
SDP file (sent once) for a multiple megabit per second video stream.

One argument that I haven't heard but might be there is that with the  
opaque blob you don't have to document what you are doing. It may  
just be a convenient rug to sweep things under.

Regards
Marshall

I agree, this is a concern. Actually, with the deployment of middle
boxes that do some processing on the video streams flowing through them,
this is indeed a problem. If the info is in Ascii, it can be repaired
somwhere along the path.

Yes, the coding efficiency for opaque SDP should not be the reason we
are doing this.

This is what I meant with "abusing," and is our primary concern. I have
not been in IETF to observe this problem and you are saying that you
have not heard so far, but that does not mean that no one is doing it.=20

Any more comments?

All,

"Opaque" was intended to mean that the information carried is not
_logically_ visible to the carrying protocol. That is, the carrying protocol
does not place requirements on what can or should be carried, or make
assumptions about what is there, and it delivers the information intact to
the responsible component at the receiving end.

"Opaque" was not intended to mean that the information is deliberately
obfuscated.

Also, what we are defining here is specification responsibilities, not
implementation architecture: it is the responsibility of the FEC Scheme
specification to define the contents of the Scheme-specific information and
the responsibility of the CDP specification to specify how it is carried in
a protocol. The two must be decoupled so that CDPs are not
FEC-scheme-specific and vice versa. This says nothing about what
implementations are allowed to do with information they find in packets: you
can implement FEC-scheme-specific functionality wherever you like.

The reason for using base64 is that the information is defined as a sequence
of octets and you cannot carry raw octets in SDP. We could, alternatively,
require that the information is ASCII and then it can be carried directly
(with certain restrictions). When I said above that the protocol could not
place requirements on what can be carried, this means a *particular*
protocol - the FEC Framework itself can place whatever requirements we like.

A reason for allowing arbitrary octets is that it allows FEC Schemes to
define efficient (binary) encodings, which can then be used with other CDPs
that are themselves binary coded.

So, what it comes down to is that if we ask FEC Schemes to define a
text-based encoding (which has the advantages implied by the mails below),
then we restrict the set of possible CDPs supported by the framework to
those within which text-based encoding is acceptable.

I would prefer that we not make this restriction. It is, after all, no
harder to write code which unpacks a base-64 encoded BLOB than to parse a
sequence of text "name=value;" pairs.

Regards,

Mark

FEC schemes must describe the encoding format of the data in the usual, if
that's what you mean. I don't think pseudo-code is necessary.

Hi Mark,

Which ones fall out of the set of "CDPs to those within which text-based
encoding is acceptable"? Are there many that do not allow text-baed
encoding? Do we have an approximate number? Of course, if there are many
out there, we should leave it as is.

Well, there are none of either kind yet ;-) The FEC Framework will identify
what features an FECFRAME Content Delievery Protocol needs to support to
work with the framework.

The intention is for us in FECFRAME to define a single Content Delivery
Protocol, which can be thought of as the first of many (or at least
several).

So, the restriction is on future protocols that might want to make use of
our framework. If we restrict to text-based protocols, then people who work
in an environment in which this is not appropriate would not be able to make
use of the framework and this would diminish the value of the work. We could
imagine that people in various different standards groups, as well as for
non-standard applications might find FECFRANE useful and in some contexts
binary protocols are preferred (though often, it seems, for non-technical
reasons).

Another alternative of asking FEC Schemes to specify both a text and binary
version of the scheme-specific information might be overkill.

I have no trouble with using binary. I just think that, for fully  
specified schemes, they have
to be fairly clear what the binary means. For the other schemes, I  
realize that we
cannot enforce that.

I agree with Mark.=20

1) It seems optimal to define whatever CDP protocol(s) without assuming
a particular FEC scheme specifics. In other words,  a given CDP should
be able to signal "whatever" FEC scheme info.

2) Additionally, it seems quite beneficial to construct the "FEC
specific information" independent of CDP. So, a particular FEC-scheme
could construct and structure its information that can be carried by any
CDP.=20

This is where the building block approach becomes beneficial. How is one
building block constructed is independent of the next building block. We
should also consider using something similar to TLVs (type length
value).=20

	Of course, the (type of) TLVs may be=20
	leveraged by more than one FEC-scheme,
	but they don't have to be.


3) I don't think that sending this info in ASCII is optimal either.
While, human-readablity is desired, it is orthagonal to how the
FEC-specific information is carried by the CDP.=20

	An implementation could include a proper
	conversion utility (say) to display the
	info in human-readable form.

4) I am of opinion that the spec should not limit to base64 encoding,
since this will also limit the reusing of existing protocol as CDP.=20

Cheers,
Rajiv

For the above condition in which the FEC stream is not coming from the
same source as the source data, the initial SDP file should specify
the FEC request address for just such a handshake IF this is an
available option. From there the interaction is in the protocol.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but I lack the clarity of any notes
from the meeting. :(

If the FEC Server provides a list of possible blind choices (join  
this multicast group for this redundancy level ...), then no  
handshake is needed, just a list from the server. (Or, if you prefer,  
this is a blind one way handshake.)


If the FEC Server provides a list of possible choices then a 2 way  
handshake is required. (The receiver receives a list, then sends its  
choice back.)

These two choices are very similar, except that in the second, the  
choice may not be produced if not requested.

If the receiver tells the FEC server what to do, then in general a 3  
way handshake is required.

Receiver asks for option foo
Server says option foo is not allowed.
Receiver asks for option bar.
Server provides option bar.

I believe that SIP allows for all of this in its feature negotiation  
or media negotiation, and will try and
research the mechanism and find the appropriate RFCs.

Regards
Marshall

Do we want to allow for separately encrypted FEC streams ?

I could imagine providing a unprotected stream for free, but only  
paying subscribers get protection, which
is why I asked.

This is a valid question and will be used in many networks.

Are you asking whether we need to specify the encrypted FEC streams in
the SDP somehow?=20

Otherwise, if a handshake on FEC will take place (3-way in your earlier
email), I believe the handling of encrypted FEC streams can be achieved
thru authentication.

I do not see any particular reason for not allowing separately encrypted FEC
streams. But why is this relevant to the framework, e.g., does the
application layer or FEC scheme need to coordinate anything with the
framework when encryption is used?

I do have a question about streaming a scalable video. Do we treat each
layer as being served by a separate instantiation of the framework? Or all
the layers (I mean core+enhancement) are served by the same instance? I
guess it should be separate instantiation.

I think that we need to allow for separate encryptions of FEC streams.
There is a danger that an attacker could use the main stream and the  
FEC stream to attack the encryptions.

Here is what it says now

    It is possible that multiple streams with different confidentiality
    requirements (for example, the streams may be visible to different
    sets of users) can be FEC protected by a single repair stream.  This
    scenario is not recommended, since resources will be used to
    distribute and decode data which cannot then be decrypted by at  
least
    some receivers.  However, in this scenario, confidentiality
    protection MUST be applied before FEC encoding of the streams,
    otherwise repair data may be used by a receiver to decode  
unencrypted
    versions of source streams which they do not have permissionions to
    view.

If the main stream is not encrypted, there is no security issue, but  
otherwise I would say that this is not adequate - the FEC needs to be  
encrypted at _at least_ the level of the original encryption.

Obviously, if the encryption scheme "leaks" information, encrypting  
both FEC and original will leak information faster. But, it is worse  
that that. Encryption of the same data with two different encryption  
schemes is notoriously dangerous, and this is close to that (in that  
you are encrypting plaintext and a known function of the plaintext).  
If a different encryption scheme is used for the FEC, the combination  
of the two ciphertexts  may thus lead to recovery of the plaintext.

Our job is to provide guidance and set limits to scheme creators. I  
would change the above to read

    It is possible that multiple streams with different confidentiality
    requirements (for example, the streams may be visible to different
    sets of users) can be FEC protected by a single repair stream.  This
    scenario is not recommended, since resources will be used to
    distribute and decode data which cannot then be decrypted by at  
least
    some receivers.  Confidentiality protection MAY be applied to
    FEC streams when the original stream is not, say to allow for a  
better
    quality of service to subscribers.

    If confidentiality protection is  applied to the original stream,  
confidentiality
    protection MUST be applied before FEC encoding of the streams,
    otherwise repair data may be used by a receiver to decode  
unencrypted
    versions of source streams which they do not have permissionions to
    view. The confidentiality protection applied to the FEC streams  
ideally SHOULD be
    the same protection as that applied to the original stream and  
MUST in any case be as
    least as cryptographically "hard" as that applied to the original  
stream. Identical encryptions
    (same cipher, same key, same offset of a stream cipher) MUST NOT
    be applied to the original and FEC streams.

I would also change this to

      This scenario SHOULD NOT be done, since resources ....

(Note that this also leads to multiple cipher texts for the same  
plain text attacks.)

Marshall,

There are a few different scenarios here, and we have to be careful to
distinguish them and explain the considerations separately, because they are
very different.

Firstly, the idea that the original stream and the FEC protection might have
different confidentiality requirements (that some users may be authorised to
receive only the original stream and not the FEC), is a new (and
interesting) idea which has not been introduced into the discussions before.
We need to be careful to describe it and consider it separately, since it
arises from a specific user requirement, rather than being just one of
several ways to meet the usual confidentiality requirement for the original
stream.

Secondly, if the above scenario does not apply (users are authorised to
receive both streams or neither stream), and when confidentiality protection
is applied to the original source, before the FEC is applied, there is no
reason to apply confidentiality protection to the FEC stream: the most an
attacker could use the FEC stream for would be to recover the protected
source stream, which they are assumed to have anyway.

As you say, there are some risks associated with applying confidentiality
protection _after_ FEC has been applied, since the attacker know about
linear relationships within the plaintext. However, I think it is sufficient
to require that independent keys are used for the source and FEC data
streams in order to avoid this.

I also agree. In this case, I strongly favor the encrypt first, FEC  
later approach. I was
thinking about a modular case where this may not be possible, which  
was probably lost in my text.
