Hi everyone, Just released the latest revision of the IETF Internet-Draft to standardize the RTP packetization for MIDI. The document reflects the comments submitted on the last document revision by several LAD-folks (see the document change log for details ...). While this draft isn't the "Last Call" document, we're probably only a few revisions away from Last Call, so if anyone has been holding off on the reviewing the memo and sending comments, now is a good time to do so ... below is the abstract and document download info: --- Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-avt-mwpp-midi-rtp-05.txt Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2002 07:52:50 -0400 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Audio/Video Transport Working Group of the IETF. Title : The MIDI Wire Protocol Packetization (MWPP) Author(s) : J. Lazzaro, J. Wawrzynek Filename : draft-ietf-avt-mwpp-midi-rtp-05.txt Pages : 94 Date : 2002-9-23 The MIDI Wire Protocol Packetization (MWPP) is a general-purpose RTP packetization for the MIDI command language. MWPP is suitable for use in both interactive applications (such as the remote operation of musical instruments) and content-delivery applications (such as MIDI file streaming). MWPP is suitable for use over unicast and multicast UDP, and defines tools that support the graceful recovery from packet loss. MWPP may also be used over reliable transport such as TCP. The SDP parameters defined for MWPP support the customization of stream behavior (including the MIDI rendering method) during session setup. MWPP is compatible with the MPEG-4 generic RTP payload format, to support the MPEG 4 Audio object types for General MIDI, DLS2, and Structured Audio.
