Re: New ROHC Milesstones.

Hello Carsten, others,

Given earlier discussions on this topic, my recollection is that there
was no agreement to move this as a working group draft. The reasons for
this was the lack of motivations, requirements or interest in pursuing
this work. Furthermore, this would introduce additional complexity to
our protocol, and the proposed solution has not been reviewed
technically. 

> There are no new problems being solved, so much is true.
> But they are solved in a different way

Given the admitted lack of a real problem to address, new solutions
appear unnecessary and not worth-while the effort. Further, I do not
believe that getting around some suspected IPRs (to possibly fall into
other IPRs) is a typical motivation for specifying new profiles.

Cheers,

I wrote a draft for that,

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bormann-rohc-avt-crtp-profile-00

As far as I know, this is technically complete and could be submitted to
WGLC.

There are no new problems being solved, so much is true.
But they are solved in a different way, and possibly with different IPR
considerations, based on existing IETF standards documents.
I can't speak to the IPR considerations (and I would not want to discuss
them on the WG list), but I've heard that some people are interested in
them in the hallway.

Gruesse, Carsten
