1.  Introduction

The SIP Control Framework [I‑D.ietf‑mediactrl‑sip‑control‑framework] (Boulton, C., Melanchuk, T., and S. McGlashan, “Media Control Channel Framework,” October 2009.) provides a generic approach for establishment and reporting capabilities of remotely initiated commands. The Framework utilizes many functions provided by the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] (Rosenberg, J., Schulzrinne, H., Camarillo, G., Johnston, A., Peterson, J., Sparks, R., Handley, M., and E. Schooler, “SIP: Session Initiation Protocol,” June 2002.) for the rendezvous and establishment of a reliable channel for control interactions. The Control Framework also introduces the concept of a Control Package. A Control Package is an explicit usage of the Control Framework for a particular interaction set. This specification defines a package for floor control in conferences based on the use of the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) [RFC4582] (Camarillo, G., Ott, J., and K. Drage, “The Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP),” November 2006.).

4.  Overview

The SIP Control Framework [I‑D.ietf‑mediactrl‑sip‑control‑framework] (Boulton, C., Melanchuk, T., and S. McGlashan, “Media Control Channel Framework,” October 2009.) provides a generic approach for establishment and reporting capabilities of remotely initiated commands. The Framework utilizes many functions provided by the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] (Rosenberg, J., Schulzrinne, H., Camarillo, G., Johnston, A., Peterson, J., Sparks, R., Handley, M., and E. Schooler, “SIP: Session Initiation Protocol,” June 2002.) for the rendezvous and establishment of a reliable channel for control interactions. The Control Framework also introduces the concept of a Control Package. A Control Package is an explicit usage of the Control Framework for a particular interaction set. This specification defines a package for floor control in conferences based on the use of the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) [RFC4582] (Camarillo, G., Ott, J., and K. Drage, “The Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP),” November 2006.).

Floor control is needed whenever access to a resource, or set of resources, needs to be moderated. A typical example is the right to talk in a conference. In such a scenario, a participant willing to talk would first have to place a request concerning the floor associated with such audio resource. The participant would then be added to the conference mix only when his request has been granted, by the server itself or by a designated chair. RFC4582 [RFC4582] (Camarillo, G., Ott, J., and K. Drage, “The Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP),” November 2006.) defines a Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) to specifically deal with such a need. It defines all the relevant entities (floors, queues, requests) and related actors (floor control servers, participants and chairs). So, the scope of this package is adding BFCP-based floor control functionality to complementary packages that might need it, as the Conference Control Package [I‑D.boulton‑conference‑control‑package] (Boulton, C., Melanchuk, T., McGlashan, S., and A. Shiratzky, “A Conference Control Package for the Media Control Channel Framework,” February 2008.).

In particular, this package aims at dealing with the case where the Floor Control Server (FCS), as defined in [RFC4582] (Camarillo, G., Ott, J., and K. Drage, “The Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP),” November 2006.), is co-located with the Media Server (MS). In fact, if the FCS were co-located with the Application Server (AS), floor control would be part of the AS application logic, and consequently out of scope for the MS. Considering users are added by the AS to the MS by means of a 3PCC [RFC3725] (Rosenberg, J., Peterson, J., Schulzrinne, H., and G. Camarillo, “Best Current Practices for Third Party Call Control (3pcc) in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP),” April 2004.) mechanism, a way to include BFCP negotiation is needed. In fact, users willing to act as floor participants will need to be made aware of all the relevant identifiers (i.e. the transport address of the floor control server, the BFCP conference ID associated with the mix, the BFCP user ID the user has been assigned, all the floor identifiers and their mapping with existing resources, and so on) to opportunely interact with a floor control server. To achieve this, RFC4583 [RFC4582] (Camarillo, G., Ott, J., and K. Drage, “The Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP),” November 2006.) provides with a way to negotiate BFCP connections within the context of a SDP offer/answer [RFC3264] (Rosenberg, J. and H. Schulzrinne, “An Offer/Answer Model with Session Description Protocol (SDP),” June 2002.).



 TOC 

5.  Control Package Definition

This section fulfills the mandatory requirement for information that MUST be specified during the definition of a Control Framework Package, as detailed in Section 9 of [I‑D.ietf‑mediactrl‑sip‑control‑framework] (Boulton, C., Melanchuk, T., and S. McGlashan, “Media Control Channel Framework,” October 2009.).



 TOC 

5.1.  Control Package Name

The Control Framework requires a Control Package definition to specify and register a unique name and version.

The name and version of this Control Package is "msc-conf-bfcp/1.0" (Media Server Control - Conferencing - BFCP - version 1.0 ).



 TOC 

5.2.  Framework Message Usage

BFCP functionality includes several different capabilities. There must be means to appropriately create, modify and destroy each of the available resources. This includes means to create a BFCP conference with specified settings, adding and removing floors to the conference, setting or unsetting designated chairs for such floors and so on.

This package defines XML elements in Section 6 (Element Definitions) and provides an XML Schema in Section 8 (Formal Syntax). Additionally, some examples are provided in Section 7 (Examples).

The XML elements in this package are split into requests, responses and event notifications. Requests are carried in CONTROL message bodies; <moderateconference> and <addfloor> elements are examples of package requests. Responses are carried either in REPORT message or Control Framework 200 response bodies; the <response> element is defined as a package response. Event notifications are also carried in REPORT message bodies; the <event> element is defined for package event notifications. Event subscription is accomplished by means of the <subscribe> element.

Note that package responses are different from framework response codes. Framework error response codes (see Section 8 of [I‑D.ietf‑mediactrl‑sip‑control‑framework] (Boulton, C., Melanchuk, T., and S. McGlashan, “Media Control Channel Framework,” October 2009.)) are used when the request or event notification is invalid; for example, a request is invalid XML (400), or not understood (500). Package responses are carried in 200 response or REPORT message bodies. This package's response codes are defined in Section 6.2.1 ().

The schema uses the "connection-id" and "conf-id" attributes which are imported from the schema defined in the core Control Framework [I‑D.ietf‑mediactrl‑sip‑control‑framework] (Boulton, C., Melanchuk, T., and S. McGlashan, “Media Control Channel Framework,” October 2009.).



 TOC 

5.3.  Common XML Support

The Control Framework requires a Control Package definition to specify if the attributes for media dialog or conference references are required.

This package requires that the XML Schema in Section 16.1 of [I‑D.ietf‑mediactrl‑sip‑control‑framework] (Boulton, C., Melanchuk, T., and S. McGlashan, “Media Control Channel Framework,” October 2009.) MUST be supported for media dialogs and conferences.



 TOC 

5.4.  CONTROL Message Body

A valid CONTROL body message MUST conform to the schema defined in Section 8 (Formal Syntax) and described in Section 6 (Element Definitions). XML messages appearing in CONTROL messages MUST contain one of the elements described in Section 6.1 (Requests).



 TOC 

5.5.  REPORT Message Body

A valid REPORT body MUST conform to the schema defined in Section 8 (Formal Syntax) and described in Section 6 (Element Definitions). XML messages appearing in REPORT messages MUST contain a <response> (Section 6.2.1 ()), or a (notification) <event> element (Section 6.3.2 ()).



 TOC 

6.  Element Definitions

This section defines the XML messages for this control package.

[Editors Note: since XML Schema may not be able to express all constraints expressed in these definitions, in cases where there is a difference in constraints, the definitions in the section take priority.]



 TOC 

6.1.  Requests

The following request elements are defined:

:
create and configure a new BFCP conference, associated with an existing framework conference instance to moderate - see Section 6.1.1 () for details;

:
destroy a BFCP conference, thus stopping the moderation of the associated framework conference instance - see Section 6.1.2 () for details;

:
add and configure a new floor to an existing BFCP conference - see Section 6.1.3 () for details;

:
modify the configuration of a currently handled floor in an existing BFCP conference - see Section 6.1.4 () for details;

:
remove a currently handled floor from an existing BFCP conference - see Section 6.1.5 () for details;

:
add a floor participant to a BFCP conference - see Section 6.1.6 () for details;

:
remove a floor participant from a BFCP conference - see Section 6.1.7 () for details.



 TOC 

6.1.1. 

<moderateconference> is used in a request by the AS to moderate an existing conference instance, by associating to it a new, properly configured, BFCP conference.

The <moderateconference> element has the following attributes:

conf-id:
string indicating the name of the conference to moderate. The conference MUST be known by the receiving entity or else a 404 'Conference does not exist' package level error will be generated. This attribute is mandatory.

bfcp-conf-id:
string (an unsigned integer) indicating a unique name for the BFCP conference. If this attribute is not specified, the MS creates a unique name for the BFCP conference. The value is used in subsequent references to the conference (e.g. as bfcp-conf-id in a <response>). When present in a <moderateconference> request, the new value of this attribute MUST be unique or else a 403 'Conference already exists' package level error will be reported. The attribute is optional.

Additionally, to configure the new BFCP conference, the <moderateconference> element has the following child elements defined:

:
an element to configure a floor in the new BFCP conference (see Section 6.4.1 () for more details). This element only refers to floors already available at creation time. New floors can still be added subsequently by means of an <addfloor> request (see Section 6.1.3 ()). This element is optional.

:
an element to request subscription to conference events. (see Section 6.3.1 () for more details). This element is optional.

Multiple <floor> elements may be defined, in case several floors are needed.

When a MS has finished processing a <moderateconference> request, it MUST reply with an appropriate <response> element (Section 6.2.1 ()).



 TOC 

6.1.2. 

<unmoderateconference> is used in a request by the AS to destroy a BFCP conference, thus stopping the moderatation of the associated existing framework conference instance. A successful processing of this request does NOT result in a destruction of the associated media conference: it only results in the media conference not being moderated by means of BFCP anymore. The actual destruction of the media conference itself is accomplished through the means provided in [I‑D.boulton‑conference‑control‑package] (Boulton, C., Melanchuk, T., McGlashan, S., and A. Shiratzky, “A Conference Control Package for the Media Control Channel Framework,” February 2008.).

The <unmoderateconference> element has the following attributes:

bfcp-conf-id:
string indicating the name of the BFCP conference to destroy. The conference MUST be known by the receiving entity or else a 404 'Conference does not exist' package level error will be generated. This attribute is mandatory.

The <unmoderateconference> element does not specify any child elements.

When a MS has finished processing an <unmoderateconference> request, it MUST reply with an appropriate <response> element (Section 6.2.1 ()).



 TOC 

6.1.3. 

<addfloor> is used in a request by the AS to add one or more floors to an existing BFCP conference instance.

The <addfloor> element has the following attributes:

bfcp-conf-id:
string indicating the name of the BFCP conference to add the floor(s) to. The conference MUST be known by the receiving entity or else a 404 'Conference does not exist' package level error will be generated. This attribute is mandatory.

Additionally, to configure the new floor(s), the <addfloor> element has the following child elements defined:

:
an element to configure a new floor in the specified BFCP conference (see Section 6.4.1 () for more details). This element is mandatory.

Multiple <floor> elements may be defined, in case several floors are to be added at the same time.

When a MS has finished processing a <addfloor> request, it MUST reply with an appropriate <response> element (Section 6.2.1 ()).



 TOC 

6.1.4. 

<removefloor> is used in a request by the AS to remove an existing floor from the BFCP conference instance it is in. A successful processing of this request does NOT result in a destruction of the associated resource (or set of resources): it only results in the associated resource not being moderated by means of BFCP anymore. The actual destruction of the resource (in case it is directly handled and manipulated by the MS itself) is accomplished through the means provided in [I‑D.boulton‑conference‑control‑package] (Boulton, C., Melanchuk, T., McGlashan, S., and A. Shiratzky, “A Conference Control Package for the Media Control Channel Framework,” February 2008.).

The <removefloor> element has the following attributes:

bfcp-conf-id:
string indicating the name of the BFCP conference to remove the floor from. The conference MUST be known by the receiving entity or else a 404 'Conference does not exist' package level error will be generated. This attribute is mandatory.

bfcp-floor-id:
string indicating the name of the BFCP floor to remove. The floor MUST be known by the receiving entity or else a 404 'Floor does not exist' package level error will be generated. This attribute is mandatory.

The <removefloor> element does not specify any child elements.

When a MS has finished processing a <removefloorfloor> request, it MUST reply with an appropriate <response> element (Section 6.2.1 ()).



 TOC 

6.1.5. 

<modifyfloor> is used in a request by the AS to modify the configuration of a floor in an existing BFCP conference instance.

The <modifyfloor> element has the following attributes:

bfcp-conf-id:
string indicating the name of the BFCP conference to modify the floor's in. The conference MUST be known by the receiving entity or else a 404 'Conference does not exist' package level error will be generated. This attribute is mandatory.

bfcp-floor-id:
string indicating the name of the BFCP floor to modify the floor. The floor MUST be known by the receiving entity or else a 404 'Floor does not exist' package level error will be generated. This attribute is mandatory.

Additionally, to modify the configuration of the floor, the <modifyfloor> element has the following child elements defined:

:
an element to configure the specified floor in the specified BFCP conference (see Section 6.4.1 () for more details). This element is mandatory.

It is an error if the provided <floor> element conflicts with the BFCP floor identifier attribute.

When a MS has finished processing a <modifyfloor> request, it MUST reply with an appropriate <response> element (Section 6.2.1 ()).

 TOC 

6.2.  Responses

All responses to the previously described requests are specified in a <response> element. This element may be contained in the body either of a REPORT framework message or in a 200 framework message.



 TOC 

6.2.1. 

Reponses to requests are indicated by a <response> element.

The <response> element has the following attributes:

status:
numeric code indicating the response status. This attribute is mandatory.

reason:
string specifying a human readable description of the reason for the response status. This attribute is optional.

bfcp-conf-id:
string identifying the BFCP conference the request referred to. This attribute is optional.

bfcp-floor-id:
string identifying the BFCP floor the request referred to. This attribute is optional.

The following status codes are defined:

TBD. Add all error codes and their meanings



 TOC 

6.3.  Notifications

In case the a controlling client is interested in receiving events regarding a BFCP conference, a notification mechanism is provided in the package. The client requests subscription to such events by adding a <subscribe> child element to the <moderateconference> request, whereas the MS triggers the related events in subsequent REPORT messages. Event notifications are then delivered using the <event> element.



 TOC 

6.3.1. 

BFCP event notifications are defined when a controlling client subscribes to notifications for BFCP-related events using the <subscribe> element in a <moderateconference> request.

The <subscribe> element has no attributes, but has the following child elements defined:

:
contains the following attributes:
name
a string indicating the name of the event to be notified. The attribute is mandatory.

Multiple <notify> elements may be specified.

The MS would then use the <event> element to send notifications to the controlling client.



 TOC 

6.3.2. 

Delivery of events the AS subscribed for is accomplished by means of an <event> element.

The <event> element has the following attributes:

name:
string indicating the name of the BFCP event. This attribute is mandatory.

bfcp-conf-id:
string identifying the BFCP conference the event happened in. This attribute is mandatory.

Additionally, to provide the AS with details upon the event, the <event> element has the following child elements defined:

TBD. Elaborate the notification mechanism.



 TOC 

6.4.  Floors Manipulation

Floors are defined as tokens associated with a resource, or set of resources, in order to moderate the access to their functionality by users. This introduces the need for a mechanism in the package to properly take care of this kind of association, especially when dealing about resources directly manipulated by the Media Server (e.g. andio and video).

Let's consider the following figure, which presents the view of an audio conference with three participants, and the related media labels associated with each participant's media stream:




                                 MS
                          +---------------+
            UAC A         |               |         UAC B
              o-----------+--x         x--+-----------o
                 a1b2c3   |               |   d4e5f6
                          |               |
                          |       x       |
                          |       |       |
                          +-------+-------+
                                  |
                                  |   g7h8i9
                                  |
                                  o
                                UAC C

 Figure 1: Audio Conference with labels 

Even if each participant sees a different label for the stream he has with the mixer, the floor associated with the only available resource in the conference (audio) is the same. This means that the package needs to have a way to address each resource in the conference according to how it is defined in [I‑D.boulton‑conference‑control‑package] (Boulton, C., Melanchuk, T., McGlashan, S., and A. Shiratzky, “A Conference Control Package for the Media Control Channel Framework,” February 2008.), e.g. "associate media 'audio' with floor 11". Once a participant's media stream is attached to the resource, the related label is consequently associated with the floor as specified in [RFC4583] (Camarillo, G., “Session Description Protocol (SDP) Format for Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) Streams,” November 2006.). Figure 2 (Audio Conference with labels and floors) depicts such the case where all the participants have been attached to the mix.




                                 MS
                          +---------------+
            UAC A         |               |         UAC B
              o-----------+--+~~>[ ]<~~+--+-----------o
                 a1b2c3   |       ^       |   d4e5f6
               (floor 11) |       |       | (floor 11)
                          |       +       |
                          |       |       |
                          +-------+-------+
                                  |
                                  |   g7h8i9
                                  | (floor 11)
                                  o
                                UAC C

 Figure 2: Audio Conference with labels and floors 

The same approach can be considered when dealing with different floors associated with one or more different resources, e.g. conferences with an audio and a video stream, conferences with two different audio streams, and so on. Each floor needs to be unambiguously associated with a subset of the available resources (e.g. floor 11 is audio1 and floor 22 is video, or floor 11 is audio1 while floor 22 is audio2, or floor 11 is audio1 AND audio2 AND video2, and so on).

To achieve this, each floor, together with its configuration, is defined in the package by the <floor> element.



 TOC 

6.4.1. 

The <floor> element is used in the package to configure a floor in a BFCP conference. It addresses all the relevant settings for a floor, including the resource (or, again, set of resources) it must be associated with, the maximum number of users that can be granted the floor at the same time, the maximum number of requests the same participant can place for this floor at the same time, and the default policy the FCS considers for incoming requests about the floor.

The <floor> element has the following attributes:

bfcp-floor-id:
string indicating the name of the BFCP floor. This attribute is optional.

:
an element indicating the type of media associated with the floor, i.e. the resource associated with the floor, as defined in [I‑D.boulton‑conference‑control‑package] (Boulton, C., Melanchuk, T., McGlashan, S., and A. Shiratzky, “A Conference Control Package for the Media Control Channel Framework,” February 2008.). The string might be a comma-separated list in case the floor is associated with more than one resource (e.g. media="audio,video"). This element is mandatory.

:
an element indicating the maximum number of users that can be granted this floor at the same time: this basically sets the size of the granted floor queue. In case all the queue slots have already been granted, subsequent requests are put on hold. This element is optional: if missing, the default value (max-users="1") is used.

:
an element indicating the maximum number of requests each user can place for the floor before being granted it. This element is optional: if missing, the default value (max-requests"="1) is used.

:
an element indicating the default policy the FCS must take whenever receiving requests for this floor and the chair is missing. In fact, in case a chair is involved, the request is forwarded to him, which then takes a decision about it. The policy can be an 'autodeny' (deny all the requests for this floor), 'autoaccept' (accept all the requests for this floor) or 'ignore' (ignore all the requests for this floor and put them on ice, waiting for a chair to appear) policy. This element is optional: if missing, the default value (policy="autoaccept") is used.

The "bfcp-floor-id" attribute has different roles according to the request the <floor> element is part of. The behaviour of the package changes accordingly. Specifically:

:
if the attribute is not specified, the MS creates a unique name for the BFCP floor. The value is used in subsequent references to the conference (e.g. as bfcp-floor-id in a <modifyfloor>). The new value of this attribute MUST be unique or else a 403 'Floor already exists' package level error will be reported.

:
if the attribute is not specified, the value of the attribute in the father element is used. If it is specified, instead, it must not conflict with the value of the attribute in the father element, otherwise it is an error.

TBD. Elaborate the floor mechanism.
