Subject: [linux-audio-dev] FYI: IETF AVT I-D on MIDI-over-RTP

Hi LAD-folk,
We submitted an Internet-Draft to the IETF AVT group on the
MIDI-over-RTP packetization that sfront networking uses, it showed up
in the I-D directory today:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-lazzaro-avt-mwpp-midi-mpeg4-00.txt
Note that this was an individual contribution (not as an
official working group item, which differentiates it from the official
MPEG-IETF work on RTP packetizations for MPEG 4). Here's the
one-paragraph abstract of our I-D:
------
Title : MWPP: A resilient MIDI RTP packetization for MPEG 4
Structured Audio
Author(s) : J. Lazzaro, J. Wawrzynek
Filename : draft-lazzaro-avt-mwpp-midi-mpeg4-00.txt
Pages : 25
Date : 22-Aug-01
This memo describes the MIDI Wire Protocol Packetization (MWPP).
MWPP is a resilient RTP packetization for the MIDI wire protocol,
for use with MPEG 4 Structured Audio. MWPP is specialized for low-
latency applications such as network musical performance. MWPP
supports the subset of the MIDI wire protocol that may be coded in
Structured Audio real-time streaming units (midi_event chunks of
SA_access_units).
------
What happens now is that discussion (hopefully) ensues on the
avt mailing list, and the community decides if this idea is worth
looking into futher. Unlike MPEG, the IETF isn't a member organization
-- you don't join the IETF, you just subscribe to the mailing list and
make your opinions known, and perhaps attend meetings in person too
(the next one is in Salt Lake City UT USA in a few months). If anyone
on this list wishes to participate in those discussions, you would
probably want to subscribe to the AVT working-group mailing list:
avt-request_AT_ietf.org
I think you have to put "subscribe" as the subject and in the
body, but if you don't it probably accepts it anyway. If you're not
familiar with AVT or the IETF, you may want to check out these
websites first to get a sense of how IETF working group mailing lists
work, including IP rules concerning postings:
