Subject: [MMUSIC] bitrate in gpmd vs. a:bw (from draft-nismail-mmusic-sdp-video-00)

Section 4.1 Open Issue on counting RTP headers in bitrate:
Bitrate is not a network bandwidth parameter, it is a decoder buffer depth parameter.  Thus bitrate needs to reflect the bitrate of the video stream, not the RTP stream.

I can't remember: did we decide that a:bw did count RTP headers?  If so, and you need to limit the RTP stream, there is an existing mechanism to deal with it.  If not, then bitrate is not needed -- just use a:bw.
