ICE Timers, values and recommendations
draft-martinsen-ice-ice-timers-00
Abstract
The ICE set of RFCs contains pacing and timer values. The network
gear initially used to test and figure out those values can now
safely be considered obsolete. This document describes the current
timer values and pacing recommendations for the ICE RFCs.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

1. Introduction
This document describes updated ICE related timing values and pacing
recommendations. As the world moves on and new knowledge is acquired
it might be necessary or useful to update some of the timing
sensitive recommendations in the ICE set of RFCs. Rather then
updating the entire set of ICE RFCs this document will be updated.
(How is this done? Obsolete an RFC and create a new one? How many
bis versions can there be?)
2. Notational Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
This document uses terminology defined in [RFC5245].
3. Timers
How to deal with RTO vs just sending a new STUN request with a new
TransID? (Implementation differences)
3.1. RTO
Since recent advancements in networking and the speed off light
problem is no longer an issue this timer value can now be set to 0.
3.2. Ta
Some nice text describing the usage and current recommended values
here..
