Hi,

Pls see inline marked with [ZS]--- 

>While I very much do not want to do anything to delay progress on this, I should note that most aspects of such congestion control mechanisms would not >be specific to RTP, though some implementation details might be.  We should attempt to define these algorithms such that they'd be applicable to any 
>flow with similar characteristics and requirements (certainly other media flows), while providing specifics of how they apply to RTP flows.

>Some aspects that are developed in this process might be useful in other similar domains as well, such as congestion control of multiple TCP flows 
>between a pair of hosts.  I would not explicitly include TCP in this effort at this point to avoid feature creep, but we may want to have a 
>dependent/follow-on effort for TCP.

>>[ZS] I agree. However I have noted the RTCWEB charter says that WG will 'Define how non media data is transported between clients in a secure and congestion safe way.', so some coordination would be needed.
