Subject: [mediactrl] Some questions

Hi,

First off, I was not able to find any archives so I am posting this
directly. Sorry if redundant.

I have visited the mediactrl supplemental page
(http://flyingfox.snowshore.com/i-d/mediactrl/) and read through pretty
much all docs there. Yet there are some things unclear to me. Let me
start with a couple of them:

- It says in the "thoughts" draft, that "There is a desire to leverage
the SIP protocol machinery for media session establishment, namely the
SIP Offer/Answer protocol."  What is exactly meant here? Is it the
expresiveness of the SDP or the messages themselves that need to be
expanded, or the whole? Which processes need leverage in O/A?

- It is not clear to me what "distributed processing" really is. In the
Boulton draft (draft-boulton-media-server-control-00) it is said that
"This document describes a protocol for application deployment where the
application logic and media processing are distributed." When I read
this I don't know if there can only be one AS controlling _just_ one
media server or an AS may control several media servers (1:1 or 1:m
cardinality?). If the former, that is IMO better defined as
"non-colocated", please clarify.

Thanks,
