Hello TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of WebRTC DSCP Control API - following up to https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/325 who had been closed for lack of an explainer.

An API to control the network priority of media streams sent over WebRTC connections, using DSCP marking and congestion control.

Further details:

  • Relevant time constraints or deadlines: N/A
  • The group where the work on this specification is being done: WebRTC WG
  • Major unresolved issues with or opposition to this specification:

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as 🐛 open issues in our GitHub repo for each point of feedback

Sangwhan: I looked into this, but I still don't understand it. The WebRTC parts I understand are the encoding parts... this is networking. Packet prioritising etc... can use this API to divide traffic unequally over several channels. I don't understand the use case.

Kenneth: The explainer doesn't explain much either....

Sangwhan: Need to defer to Yves here. I don't understand the value.

Kenneth: Added comments to the issue about explainer and spec returning 40
