Fast Start

[Dave Walker]

Hi Francois,

Have you checked the Implementors Guide from the 09/98 meeting?

For proposed alternative channels from called to calling,
alternatives have the same sessionId, mediaChannel (RTP
address), and mediaControlChannel (RTCP address).  A unique
fwdLCN is assigned to the chosen alternative by the called
endpoint and returned in the OLC which accepts the proposed
channel.

For proposed alternative channels from calling to called, the
mediaChannel is chosen by the called endpoint.  A unique fwdLCN
is assigned to each proposal (alternative or not) by the calling
endpoint.

In addition, all RTCP addresses proposed by the calling endpoint
for a given sessionId must be the same, regardless of the direction
of the logical channel.

Regards,

Dave Walker
