Policy-Free Floor Control draft-brunner-xcon-fc-issues-00.txt Marcus Brunner NEC
Motivation for Floor Control • Admission Control for Conference Input • Mainly voice • But also data (e.g, shared workspace applications) • Control parallel input to a single input application • Create sequential input from parallel NEC Europe Ltd., 2003 Network Laboratories, Heidelberg
Issues and Requirements • Floor can be bound to various entities • Per-flow, per-session, several floors per session (independently controlled) • Floor can be hold concurrently • More than one participant must be able to hold the floor • Activity awareness • Participant must be aware of the current state of the floor control NEC Europe Ltd., 2003 Network Laboratories, Heidelberg
Policy-free Floor Control • There are several floor control policies • Ring passing • Pre-emptive • Based on time • Moderated • The IETF meeting model • The floor control mechanism must not be targeted to one of these policies, • it should be part of the conference application NEC Europe Ltd., 2003 Network Laboratories, Heidelberg
Implicit versus Explicit Floor Control • Explicit: A floor chair controls the floor • Implicit: Automatic floor passing passed on policies and triggers • Must be able to specify the trigger for floor change • Must be able to define a group of participant, where the floor can automatically change to • The trigger for the floor change must be specified • When the trigger control is distributed we need mechanisms for handling this NEC Europe Ltd., 2003 Network Laboratories, Heidelberg
Next steps • Integrate all or some of these requirements into the wg document NEC Europe Ltd., 2003 Network Laboratories, Heidelberg
