You seem to be implying an official connection with the motion pictures =
expert group (MPEG) by using those letters in your site name, and unless =
you have that connection, I think it is a mistake. =20

This despite the face that there are some at MPEG who support developing =
RF standards, or even trying to establish RF for parts of existing =
standards.

Hi Dave:<br>
<br>
I have no doubt there are participants in MPEG, ITU (and IETF) who
support developing royalty free standards and encourage their
continuing efforts.<br>
<br>
But organizational action and result is needed.&nbsp; In tangible form, this
means proposals, work items, AHGs, calls, terms of reference,
contributions, agenda items, processes, undertakings, and more.&nbsp; The
work products of constructive standards activity.<br>
<br>
A quick search shows literally thousands of websites with letters MPEG,
and several registered trademarks (some to major companies).&nbsp; <br>
<br>
I would assert "royalty free" does merit official recognition and
action -- and the site describes official channels.<br>
<br>

Here is a simple and fair test of whether there is "sincere and sustained" support for royalty free goal/profile/baseline/standard etc -- is it included in new work by ITU, ISO/MPEG (and ITEF).  Bonus points for addressing lessons learned and evolving process/approach.

Hi Peter,
In general it looks OK. I have one question.
The requirement document is defined to be informational yet I believe it =
will provide values for codec quality requirements that will need to be =
passed by the proposed codec.
In this case should this document be informational or have more =
normative value. I assume that an informational document can be a =
normative reference.

Yes, a standards-track document can have a normative reference to an
informational document -- as I understand it, "normative" means "you
must understand the referenced document in order to understand this
document", and that relationship often applies to referenced documents
that contain requirements. However, it's a bit of a judgement call as to
whether the requirements document should be a normative reference or an
informative reference (and there is some controversy about whether the
distinction between normative and informative references is all that
useful anyway...).

Though normative references made by other SDOs (in their standards) have to
be made to a standards track document in the IETF.  So perhaps that is a
consideration here.

Huh?  The only body that has been moderately picky about RFC status that I=B9=
m
aware of is the ITU.  Moderately, because I do recall references to
experimental RFCs in ITU Recs, and there are certainly normative references
to obsolete/historic RFCs.
In many other mainstream SDOs, e.g. ETSI or TIA, normative references to
informational documents are perfectly fine.

The ITU-T was whati was thinking of.  Currently the ITU-T does not allow
normative references to informative or experimental RFCs.

Existing references are not always caught, but they are supposed to be
updated when the text is rerised.  I'm the editor of H.323, I had to revise
the text in order to remove several of these references In V7  (consented i=
n
Novemver).

Added references *are* all checked, and you can't add references to
obsolete/historic RFCS unless you can provide a justification for referring
to something obsolete.  Likewise, you cannot add a new normative reference
to an informational RFC.

Description of Working Group
Problem Statement

According to reports from developers of Internet audio applications and
operators of Internet audio services, there are no standardized,
high-quality audio codecs that meet all of the following three
conditions:

1. Are optimized for use in interactive Internet applications.

2. Are published by a recognized standards development organization
(SDO) and therefore subject to clear change control.

3. Can be widely implemented and easily distributed among application
developers, service operators, and end users.

There exist codecs that provide high quality encoding of audio
information, but that are not optimized for the actual conditions of the
Internet; according to reports, this mismatch between design and
deployment has hindered adoption of such codecs in interactive Internet
applications.

There exist codecs that can be widely implemented and easily
distributed, but that are not standardized through any SDO; according to
reports, this lack of standardization and clear change control has
hindered adoption of such codecs in interactive Internet applications.

There exist codecs that are standardized, but that cannot be widely
implemented and easily distributed; according to reports, the presence
of various usage restrictions (e.g., in the form of requirements to pay
royalty fees, obtain a license, enter into a business agreement, or meet
other special conditions imposed by a patent holder) has hindered
adoptions of such codecs in interactive Internet applications.

According to application developers and service operators, an audio
 codec that meets all three of these would: (1) enable protocol
 designers to more easily specify a mandatory-to-implement codec in
 their protocols and thus improve interoperability; (2) enable
 developers to more easily easily build innovative, interactive
 applications for the Internet; (3) enable service operators to more
 easily deploy affordable, high-quality audio services on the Internet;
 and (4) enable end users of Internet applications and services to enjoy
 an improved user experience.

Objectives

The goal of this working group is to develop a single high-quality audio
codec that is optimized for use over the Internet and that can be widely
implemented and easily distributed among application developers, service
operators, and end users.  Core technical considerations include, but
are not necessarily limited to, the following:

1. Designing for use in interactive applications (examples include, but
are not limited to, point-to-point voice calls, multi-party voice
conferencing, telepresence, teleoperation, in-game voice chat, and live
music performance)

2. Addressing the real transport conditions of the Internet as
identified and prioritized by the working group

3. Ensuring interoperability with the Real-time Transport Protocol
(RTP), including secure transport via SRTP

4. Ensuring interoperability with Internet signaling technologies such
as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Session Description Protocol
(SDP), and Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP); however,
the result should not depend on the details of any particular signaling
technology

Optimizing for very low bit rates (typically below 2.4 kbps) and for
non-interactive audio is out of scope because such work might
necessitate specialized optimizations.

Although the codec produced by the working group might be used as a
mandatory-to-implement technology by designers of particular Internet
protocols, it is explicitly not a goal of the working group to produce a
codec that will be mandated for use across the entire IETF or Internet
community nor would their be any expectation that this would be the only
mandatory-to-implement codec.

The goal of the working group is to produce only one codec.  Based on
the working group's analysis of the design space, the working group
might determine that it needs to produce more than one codec, or a codec
with multiple modes; however, it is not the goal of working group to
produce more than one codec, and to reduce confusion in the marketplace
the working group shall endeavor to produce as few codecs as possible.

In completing its work, the working group should collaborate with other
IETF working groups to complete particular tasks.  These might include,
but would not be limited to, the following:

- Within the AVT WG, define the codec's payload format for use with the
  Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP).

- Collaborate with working groups in the Transport Area to identify
  important aspects of packet transmission over the Internet.

- Collaborate with working groups in the Transport Area to understand
  the degree of rate adaptation desirable, and to reflect that
  understanding in the design of a codec that can adjust its
  transmission in a way that minimizes disruption to the audio.

- Collaborate with working groups in the RAI Area to ensure that
  information about and negotiation of the codec can be easily
  represented at the signaling layer.

The working group will inform the ITU-T (Study group 16) of each new
revision of working group drafts, with the intent of submitting the
completed codec RFC for co-publication by the ITU-T if the ITU-T finds
that appropriate. The working group will communicate detailed
description of the requirements and goals to other SDOs including the
ITU-T, 3GPP, and MPEG to help determine if existing codecs meet the
requirements and would therefore enable co-publication of an existing
standard at the IETF. The working group will also continue to discuss
with other standards bodies to determine if it becomes possible to
satisfy the IETF requirements through a new or revised standard at other
bodies.

Suggested Codec Standardization Guidelines and Requirements for
achieving the foregoing objectives are provisionally outlined in
draft-valin-codec-guidelines and draft-valin-codec-requirements
respectively; these documents will form the starting point for working
toward consensus and, if accepted as work items of the working group,
will be refined by the working group in accordance with the usual IETF
procedures.

A codec that can be widely implemented and easily distributed among
application developers, service operators, and end users is preferred.
Many existing codecs that might fulfill some or most of the technical
attributes listed above are encumbered in various ways.  For example,
patent holders might require that those wishing to implement the codec
in software, deploy the codec in a service, or distribute the codec in
software or hardware need to request a license, enter into a business
agreement, pay licensing fees or royalties, or attempt to adhere to
other special conditions or restrictions.

Because such encumbrances have made it difficult to widely implement and
easily distribute high-quality audio codecs across the entire Internet
community, the working group prefers unencumbered technologies in a way
that is consistent with BCP 78 and BCP 79.  In particular, the working
group shall heed the preference stated in BCP 79: "In general, IETF
working groups prefer technologies with no known IPR claims or, for
technologies with claims against them, an offer of royalty-free
licensing."  Although this preference cannot guarantee that the working
group will produce an unencumbered codec, the working group shall
attempt to adhere to the spirit of BCP 79.  This preference does not
explicitly rule out the possibility of adapting encumbered technologies;
such decisions will be made in accordance with the rough consensus of
the working group.

Deliverables

1. A set of Codec Standardization Guidelines that define the work
processes of the working group. This document shall be Informational.

2. A set of technical Requirements. This document shall be
Informational.

3. Specification of a codec that meets the agreed-upon requirements, in
the form of an Internet-Draft that defines the codec algorithm along
with source code for a reference implementation.  The text description
of the codec shall indicate which components of the encoder and decoder
are mandatory, recommended, and optional.  It is envisioned that this
document shall be a Proposed Standard document.

> Description of Working Group
> Problem Statement
> 
> According to reports from developers of Internet audio applications and
> operators of Internet audio services, there are no standardized,
> high-quality audio codecs that meet all of the following three
> conditions:
> 
> 1. Are optimized for use in interactive Internet applications.
> 
> 2. Are published by a recognized standards development organization
> (SDO) and therefore subject to clear change control.
> 
> 3. Can be widely implemented and easily distributed among application
> developers, service operators, and end users.
> 
> There exist codecs that provide high quality encoding of audio
> information, but that are not optimized for the actual conditions of the
> Internet; according to reports, this mismatch between design and
> deployment has hindered adoption of such codecs in interactive Internet
> applications.
> 
> There exist codecs that can be widely implemented and easily
> distributed, but that are not standardized through any SDO; according to
> reports, this lack of standardization and clear change control has
> hindered adoption of such codecs in interactive Internet applications.
> 
> There exist codecs that are standardized, but that cannot be widely
> implemented and easily distributed; according to reports, the presence
> of various usage restrictions (e.g., in the form of requirements to pay
> royalty fees, obtain a license, enter into a business agreement, or meet
> other special conditions imposed by a patent holder) has hindered
> adoptions of such codecs in interactive Internet applications.
> 
> According to application developers and service operators, an audio
> codec that meets all three of these would: (1) enable protocol
> designers to more easily specify a mandatory-to-implement codec in
> their protocols and thus improve interoperability; (2) enable
> developers to more easily easily build innovative, interactive
> applications for the Internet; (3) enable service operators to more
> easily deploy affordable, high-quality audio services on the Internet;
> and (4) enable end users of Internet applications and services to enjoy
> an improved user experience.
> 
> Objectives
> 
> The goal of this working group is to develop a single high-quality audio
> codec that is optimized for use over the Internet and that can be widely
> implemented and easily distributed among application developers, service
> operators, and end users.  Core technical considerations include, but
> are not necessarily limited to, the following:
> 
> 1. Designing for use in interactive applications (examples include, but
> are not limited to, point-to-point voice calls, multi-party voice
> conferencing, telepresence, teleoperation, in-game voice chat, and live
> music performance)
> 
> 2. Addressing the real transport conditions of the Internet as
> identified and prioritized by the working group
> 
> 3. Ensuring interoperability with the Real-time Transport Protocol
> (RTP), including secure transport via SRTP
> 
> 4. Ensuring interoperability with Internet signaling technologies such
> as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Session Description Protocol
> (SDP), and Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP); however,
> the result should not depend on the details of any particular signaling
> technology
> 
> Optimizing for very low bit rates (typically below 2.4 kbps) and for
> non-interactive audio is out of scope because such work might
> necessitate specialized optimizations.
> 
> Although the codec produced by the working group might be used as a
> mandatory-to-implement technology by designers of particular Internet
> protocols, it is explicitly not a goal of the working group to produce a
> codec that will be mandated for use across the entire IETF or Internet
> community nor would their be any expectation that this would be the only
> mandatory-to-implement codec.
> 
> The goal of the working group is to produce only one codec.  Based on
> the working group's analysis of the design space, the working group
> might determine that it needs to produce more than one codec, or a codec
> with multiple modes; however, it is not the goal of working group to
> produce more than one codec, and to reduce confusion in the marketplace
> the working group shall endeavor to produce as few codecs as possible.
> 
> In completing its work, the working group should collaborate with other
> IETF working groups to complete particular tasks.  These might include,
> but would not be limited to, the following:
> 
> - Within the AVT WG, define the codec's payload format for use with the
>  Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP).
> 
> - Collaborate with working groups in the Transport Area to identify
>  important aspects of packet transmission over the Internet.
> 
> - Collaborate with working groups in the Transport Area to understand
>  the degree of rate adaptation desirable, and to reflect that
>  understanding in the design of a codec that can adjust its
>  transmission in a way that minimizes disruption to the audio.
> 
> - Collaborate with working groups in the RAI Area to ensure that
>  information about and negotiation of the codec can be easily
>  represented at the signaling layer.
> 
> The working group will inform the ITU-T (Study group 16) of each new
> revision of working group drafts, with the intent of submitting the
> completed codec RFC for co-publication by the ITU-T if the ITU-T finds
> that appropriate. The working group will communicate detailed
> description of the requirements and goals to other SDOs including the
> ITU-T, 3GPP, and MPEG to help determine if existing codecs meet the
> requirements and would therefore enable co-publication of an existing
> standard at the IETF. The working group will also continue to discuss
> with other standards bodies to determine if it becomes possible to
> satisfy the IETF requirements through a new or revised standard at other
> bodies.
> 
> Suggested Codec Standardization Guidelines and Requirements for
> achieving the foregoing objectives are provisionally outlined in
> draft-valin-codec-guidelines and draft-valin-codec-requirements
> respectively; these documents will form the starting point for working
> toward consensus and, if accepted as work items of the working group,
> will be refined by the working group in accordance with the usual IETF
> procedures.
> 
> A codec that can be widely implemented and easily distributed among
> application developers, service operators, and end users is preferred.
> Many existing codecs that might fulfill some or most of the technical
> attributes listed above are encumbered in various ways.  For example,
> patent holders might require that those wishing to implement the codec
> in software, deploy the codec in a service, or distribute the codec in
> software or hardware need to request a license, enter into a business
> agreement, pay licensing fees or royalties, or attempt to adhere to
> other special conditions or restrictions.
> 
> Because such encumbrances have made it difficult to widely implement and
> easily distribute high-quality audio codecs across the entire Internet
> community, the working group prefers unencumbered technologies in a way
> that is consistent with BCP 78 and BCP 79.  In particular, the working
> group shall heed the preference stated in BCP 79: "In general, IETF
> working groups prefer technologies with no known IPR claims or, for
> technologies with claims against them, an offer of royalty-free
> licensing."  Although this preference cannot guarantee that the working
> group will produce an unencumbered codec, the working group shall
> attempt to adhere to the spirit of BCP 79.  This preference does not
> explicitly rule out the possibility of adapting encumbered technologies;
> such decisions will be made in accordance with the rough consensus of
> the working group.
> 
> Deliverables
> 
> 1. A set of Codec Standardization Guidelines that define the work
> processes of the working group. This document shall be Informational.
> 
> 2. A set of technical Requirements. This document shall be
> Informational.
> 
> 3. Specification of a codec that meets the agreed-upon requirements, in
> the form of an Internet-Draft that defines the codec algorithm along
> with source code for a reference implementation.  The text description

Hi,
I am not sure but are you suggesting that the IETF will define the
requirements, metric and quality assessment requirements and all proposed
codecs should provide the results and then the WG will choose the best codec
bases without discussing the codec itself. This is what I would call a
selection process (at least in ITU terms).
The problem is that the IETF process allows anyone to contribute to existing
work hopefully leading to a better the end result. 
What about the change control, does it stay with the original contributor or
can the IETF modify the codec based on input from other parties, which means
that the codec may change by the IETF anyhow. 
Thanks
Roni Even

Of course, but also be aware that there's no one definition of "better".
Something that can be defined quickly and used immediately might be much

The IETF will have change control over its protocol, of course, which may
cause it to diverge from that upon which it was originally based.  And yes,
everything changes with time.

This is the IETF process for better or worse, I asked similar questions and
the response is that the IETF decide what is better is based on rough
consensus. 
BTW: my personal view is that your suggestion is in line with the process at
the ITU when doing codec selection, but there are people who prefer doing it
at the IETF using the IETF procedures for other reasons.

I don't think it is a very good idea to attempt this type of work in
the IETF. We have enough difficulty doing crypto algorithms and that
is an area where we have tens of people with decades worth of
expertise who pretty much mostly agree on the algorithms to use in any
case.

An unencumbered CODEC would be very useful, but any new CODEC that was
developed would be subject to attack by patent trolls. So the group
would be pretty much limited to reviewing existing technologies and
attempting to select one that is out of patent.

Looking at technologies that are out-of-patent or soon to be out of
patent, well DVD came out in 1995 and the patent licensing terms are
reasonably well defined. MP3 and AC3 are the existing industry
standards. If we know when the patents drop dead, I can't see how IETF
imprimatur is going to add or detract anything there. Its not as if
the IETF can stand behind the spec and say that it is definitively
unencumbered. So the most we are going to have is a document that
brings together all the relevant information and allows people to
quickly come to a degree of confidence that the technology will be
inencumbered on a certain date.

So, you think the IETF should stop all work, because there's not a 
single thing they define that can't be subject to the same patent issues.

These codecs are rarely used for real-time communications, mostly  
because of their high bitrates/poor quality for voice signals.

Any difference with other standards?

I would have thought their latency was the key factor for interactive 
communication, which is the main focus here.

That's a factor too.

MP3 has 54 ms algorithmic delay (at 48 kHz sampling rate) - around 11  
ms more than G.718.

AC3 seems to have < 10 ms algorithmic delay.
