Subject: [MEDIACTRL] RE: MRB - MS Publish Interface

I receive the mail in the digest mode so I don't have the exact mail for which I want to respond. I would like to reply to the mail with subject MRB - MS Publish Interface. I am also pasting the original mail here. Sorry if there is any inconvenience. 

I would like to brain storm and collect a list of information that would be useful.  I'm going to throw a few topics in the bucket to get us rolling.

-          Active RTP sessions (including codec information)

o        For example, 10 G711 RTP sessions, 3 H.264 sessions.

-          Non Active sessions - so sessions available on this MS (based on codec's supported)

o        For example, 80 G711 RTP session, 120 G729 sessions, 30 H.264 sessions.

-          MS Uptime

-          Codecs/media supported (could just be bundled with above - 'Non Active Sessions').

REPLY

******

1) The Active/Non Active session gives any information about the type of session. i.e. Announcement session or conference session etc..

If a Media server publishes 80 non active G711 RTP sessions means Application server can use this for a conference session with 80 participants?

In general from the Media Server resource handling point of view there will be different restrictions for announcements and conferences. May be a Media Server can support X number of participants per conference. 

Eg: A media server can support 25 Participants per Conference and may be maximum 10 ongoing conferences. 

So I would like to see resources available for different Media functionality.

2) How frequently this publish information will be sent from the Media Server to AS? 

- Up on query from AS to MS or

- As soon as some change of state in MS which triggers the MS to publish the information. 

3) Some more information in PUBLISH which I can think of now. I don't know may be some of the information in the below list can be obtained by other means?

*	File formats supported for announcement. E.g.: MP3, WAW etc... May be this information is enough to determine announcement format supported i.e. audio or video
*	Maximum duration for an announcement. Media servers can have restrictions on memory to play the announcements for very long durations.
*	Variable announcements. Where the substitution variable can be time, date, cost etc.
*	DTMF detection and generation support. 
*	Types of mixing (conference supported) audio, video
*	Supported tone types in the Media Server. Different countries may have different characteristics for the same tone. So the tone characteristics can be configured in the media server or can be downloaded. Capability to play the tone in both directions may be required for conferencing applications. E.g. playing a tone when a new participant joins in the conference. The tone needs to be played towards the existing participants and also towards the new participant.

Maybe another way to look at this is to ask whether the AS requesting
the MS to perform ASR-type functionality can be considered part of IVR
functionality (the actual MS-ASR interactions are clearly out of scope),
since IVR is in scope. If so, then I think it could be addressed in an
IVR control package. I am not thinking that the requirements document
would need to list every possible function related to IVR.

[Chris Boulton] So here is my take.  I see that basic IVR interactions
are most definitely in scope (for example, we are documenting in
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-boulton-ivr-control-package-03
.txt).  We really need to then draw a line in the sand.  For advanced
IVR we have VoiceXML which is the king and its various mechanisms for
invocation (e.g. NETANN), which should include a MediaCtrl solution
(which we are documenting in
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-boulton-ivr-vxml-control-packa
ge-02.txt).

Hi Eric et al,

Regarding the latter from the email below:

"I would also offer (now as chair) that any media server doing database
dips or executing application logic is way beyond the definition of a
media server and well beyond the scope of this group."

I don't want to get into a religious debate, and I understand what the
basic traditional view of Media Server is, but in practice it can be
useful to think of a media server doing the kinds of things mentioned,
such as application logic or database dips. Some of us hit that
territory in another forum when considering how to model the unit of
functionality of an agent workstation in a VoIP world. **But** from the
point of view of an AS or MRB, they would still see such a media server
in the traditional sense. At most, there may be an impact at the data
level - e.g., specific information that needs to be passed between AS
and MS, or specific MS attributes for MRB purposes.

Now, somebody could go way overboard and imagine a media server that,
e.g., violates the AS-MS control relationship. That somebody wouldn't be
me.

cheers,

Gary

Recording for most anything I think is covered.

The functionality described below feels like it is way out of scope
(opinion as contributor, not as chair). Speech services, like ASR, are
purely an internal matter to the media server. See MRCPv2 (speechsc).

I would also offer (now as chair) that any media server doing database

Subject: [MEDIACTRL] recording requirements: use case

Hi all

I just wanted to clarify whether the requirements document as stands
supports a particular use case. I asked the question last week in
Chicago, but on looking at the requirements again, I'm not convinced
that the "roll call" functionality (REQ-MCP-30 ?) actually covers this.
So maybe it's best if I give more details.

Initially I was thinking that this would be covered by the Burke draft,
and that might still be the best match. But, this use case will also
need MRB functionality, so I think the MEDIACTRL mechanism would be
preferable.

In this use case the user is played an announcement, and is prompted to
give spoken input (e.g. a name to be looked up in a directory, etc).

The spoken input is stored.

The MS goes off to a speech recognition engine, etc, and retrieves some
data (e.g. DB lookup) corresponding to the spoken input, or fails.

The MS then needs to return the following to the AS:

1. The pass/fail status of the speech recognition/data lookup operation

2. The data (or pointer to the same) returned by the lookup (only
applicable on success)

3. A pointer to the file where the spoken request is stored (only
required on failure).

If the speech recognition failed, the MS may be asked to play back the
file containing the spoken input to a stream. E.g. played back to a
human attendant who would perform a manual lookup because the speech
recognition failed.

I'd break these recording requirements into:

-Recording a short clip as part of a speech recognition request (versus
conference/IVR, unless this can be considered as an IVR case)

-Accept parameters pertaining to the recording (e.g. preferred codecs,
time compression, etc)

-Return a reference to that recording.

-Retain the recording for some period of time

-Accept a command to play back the explicitly referenced recording as an
announcement onto a stream

-Delete the recording 1. on command (e.g. issued in conjunction with the
playback request), 2. after some specified time (perhaps specified in
the request)

And the other requirement:

-Return some arbitrary data (perhaps a pointer), such as the result of
some operation based on speech recognition, to the AS.

A related, but much simpler use case exists, where a short spoken input
is recorded and then requested to be played back again over a different
stream.

Are the current requirements intended to cover such a use case? If not,
should/could they?

Or is this best covered by the Burke draft?

Thanks

John Haluska

First, a call for consensus.  We would like to confirm the sentiment in the
room in Chicago, that both of the following documents will be the basis for
work group items.

draft-melanchuk-mediactrl-framework-00 is
An Architectural Framework for Media Server Control

draft-boulton-sip-control-framework-05 is
A Control Framework for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

[ ] No Objection
[ ] Object (Must explain why)

As chair, I will fall on my sword here.  Since the beginning of the Bar
BOFs, we tend to have multiple documents with different names talking about
the same thing (anyone remember the Requirements and Framework documents?).
We have had multiple documents with similar names talking about different
things.  Well, it is time to disambiguate this latter case.

To reduce confusion, the Architectural Framework will be called:
draft-ietf-mediactrl-architecture
and the Control Framework will be called:
draft-ietf-mediactrl-sip-control-framework

Thanks for the input. Couple of follow up questions if you don't mind:

A. From looking at the Basic IVR control package, I can see that 1.(play
an announcement and record the spoken request)  and 3.(play out the
stored spoken request on another stream) are pretty clearly covered by
"promptandrecord", and "playannouncement", respectively. Do you agree?

B. Do you see 2. (perform ASR/perform a lookup on the spoken request,
and return the pass/fail status and associated data) as being covered by
the Advanced IVR control package? An example of this is to ask the MS to
match a spoken name to an entry in a directory, and return back data
from that entry.

Please don't mistake my questions for insistence that the
recording/playback and ASR functionality be directly addressed in the
requirements document. As long as they're covered somewhere, I think I'm
ok.

Thanks,

John

If the media server uses the AS-MS protocol, which has no facility for data
base dips, but the media server does data base dips in its execution of the
protocol requests, that is great.  I could imagine (in our never ending QoS
debates) where a publicly-addressable MS does its own ACL administration of
requests against a DIAMETER data base.

The point here is that procedure is 100% OUTSIDE THE SCOPE of the AS-MS
protocol.  We do not care.  You can do whatever you want, so long as you do
not expose it.

It is always a URI.  URI's can be file (NFS), ftp, or http schemes.  That
is, the application is most likely going to know the storage mechanism if it
is going to ask explicitly for a recording.

Note that VoiceXML does not have this problem.  VoiceXML is always http.

Subject: Re: [MEDIACTRL] RE: what is a media server

If the media server uses the AS-MS protocol, which has no facility for
data
base dips, but the media server does data base dips in its execution of
the
protocol requests, that is great.  I could imagine (in our never ending
QoS
debates) where a publicly-addressable MS does its own ACL administration
of
requests against a DIAMETER data base.

The point here is that procedure is 100% OUTSIDE THE SCOPE of the AS-MS
protocol.  We do not care.  You can do whatever you want, so long as you
do
not expose it.

Thanks for the input. Couple of follow up questions if you don't mind:

[Chris Boulton] Always a pleasure :-).

A. From looking at the Basic IVR control package, I can see that 1.(play
an announcement and record the spoken request)  and 3.(play out the
stored spoken request on another stream) are pretty clearly covered by
"promptandrecord", and "playannouncement", respectively. Do you agree?

[Chris Boulton] Agreed.  The latter are just for convenience.

B. Do you see 2. (perform ASR/perform a lookup on the spoken request,
and return the pass/fail status and associated data) as being covered by
the Advanced IVR control package? An example of this is to ask the MS to
match a spoken name to an entry in a directory, and return back data
from that entry.

[Chris Boulton] Advanced IVR package?  At the moment we only have the
basic IVR package and it is the intention that for advanced IVR you
wither use the VXML control package or some other popular mechanism.

Chris.

Sorry, I was referring to draft-boulton-ivr-vxml-control-package. Would
you agree that this would work for the ASR case?

No objection at all from me on both documents. I personally do believe that
Chris' framework document is an excellent way to deal with the MediaCtrl

Hi;
I will add some mixer capability information,
Like Active mixers:
4: (2 G711, 3 G729), (second mixer and the codecs), (third mixer), ...)

Now, on the non active mixers, I'm not sure how to calculate and express
this information.

Regards
Diego B

First, a call for consensus.  We would like to confirm the sentiment in
the
room in Chicago, that both of the following documents will be the basis
for
work group items.

draft-melanchuk-mediactrl-framework-00 is
An Architectural Framework for Media Server Control

draft-boulton-sip-control-framework-05 is
A Control Framework for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

[ ] No Objection
[ ] Object (Must explain why)

As chair, I will fall on my sword here.  Since the beginning of the Bar
BOFs, we tend to have multiple documents with different names talking
about
the same thing (anyone remember the Requirements and Framework
documents?).
We have had multiple documents with similar names talking about
different
things.  Well, it is time to disambiguate this latter case.

To reduce confusion, the Architectural Framework will be called:
draft-ietf-mediactrl-architecture
and the Control Framework will be called:
draft-ietf-mediactrl-sip-control-framework

Editors, in the To: field, make a note of this
