Laird, I don't have time to think through all of your thoughts about protocol layering right now but hope to later. I will address one little thing I noticed however: Laird Popkin wrote: > >... > > As far as addressing mechanisms go, ICE assumes that the endpoints can be > described by a URL, Except that UDP (for example) doesn't have URLs! > ... and all other identifiers are internal to the ICE > protocol. This latter is one of the things I worry about with this focus on "protocol agnosticism". I doubt it is productive for ICE to define its own internal identifier structure. If you choose to make ICE a web protocol then it becomes clear that ICE should use Web addressing: URIs. My sense is that any other addressing mechanism is a competitive disadvantage for ICE but I'm not expert enough in the domain to predict how or where problems will arise. Paul Prescod
