RE: Gen-ART LC review of draft-ietf-tram-stun-dtls-03

Hi Marc,
So maybe emphasis that it is about STUN Binding Indications suggest

" When STUN Binding Indications are being used for media keep-alive
(described in Section
   10 of [RFC5245]), it runs alongside an RTP or RTCP session.  It is
   possible to send these media keep-alive packets inside a separately
   negotiated non-SRTP DTLS session if DTLS-SRTP [RFC5764] is used, but
   that would add overhead, with minimal security benefit."

track RFC.





Major issues:



Minor issues:



I am not sure I understand section 4.3. When talking about "media
keep-alive packets" is it for the STUN Binding Indication usage or for
all the options in section 10 of RFC 5245.

Yes, only the STUN Binding Indication usage.  You are right this is not
clear.

Maybe you meant that you should prefer DTLS/SRTP keep-alive like RTP
no-op in this case. I had problem understanding this section. Please
clarify.


No the text did not meant to choose one over the other, just to explain
the pros
and cons of running the STUN Binding Indication usage over DTLS.

I propose this new text:

"  When STUN is being used for media keep-alive (described in Section
   10 of [RFC5245]), it runs alongside an RTP or RTCP session.  It is
   possible to send the media keep-alive packets inside a separately
   negotiated non-SRTP DTLS session if DTLS-SRTP [RFC5764] is used, but
   that would add overhead, with minimal security benefit."

Thanks.
