Abstract:
   Real-time text mixers for multi-party sessions need to identify the
   source of each transmitted group of text so that the text can be
   presented by endpoints in suitable grouping with other text from the
   same source.

   Regional regulatory requirements specify provision of real-time text
   in multi-party calls.  RFC 4103 mixer implementations can use
   traditional RTP functions for source identification, but the mixer
   source switching performance is limited when using the default
   transmission with redundancy.

   An enhancement for RFC 4103 real-time text mixing is provided in this
   document, suitable for a centralized conference model that enables
   source identification and efficient source switching.  The intended
   use is for real-time text mixers and multi-party-aware participant
   endpoints.  The mechanism builds on use of the CSRC list in the RTP
   packet and an extended packet format "text/rex".

   A capability exchange is specified so that it can be verified that a
   participant can handle the multi-party coded real-time text stream.
   The capability is indicated by the media subtype "text/rex".

   The document updates RFC 4102[RFC4102] and RFC 4103[RFC4103]

   A brief description about how a mixer can format text for the case
   when the endpoint is not multi-party aware is also provided.
