Suhas said: "3. I am aware we might not be interested in solving Simulcast/Layered coding like Multi-streams per track at this point in time, but enabling RTPStream level constraints is quite useful to achieve such a functionality." [BA] I am skeptical about the value of complex constraints for layered coding. Because there is often a fixed relationship between the base layer and other layers, attempting to constrain multiple layers simultaneously in SVC will most likely lead to an overconstrained condition. If we assume constraints have already been applied in getUserMedia, then something as simple as specifying the number of desired layers of each kind (temporal, spatial, quality) can be sufficient to derive the properties of each layer from the characteristics of the mediaStreamTrack to be encoded.
