Looks like you are specifically talking about the reqs for interactive media. Then, I think the title should reflect that (as opposed to any real time media which would include one-way streaming). Actually I was using the definition of "real-time" from draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview:
Interactive: Communication between multiple parties, where the expectation is that an action from one party can cause a reaction by another party, and the reaction can be observed by the first party, with the total time required for the action/reaction/ observation is on the order of no more than hundreds of milliseconds.
Media: Audio and video content. Not to be confused with "transmission media" such as wires.
Real-time media: Media where generation of content and display of content are intended to occur closely together in time (on the order of no more than hundreds of milliseconds).
One hundred vs hundreds of ms makes a big difference IMO. I won't insist but these two types of apps have quite different requirements when it comes to congestion control.
If you insist, I can add "interactive" to the title, but I don't think of one-way streaming of stored video as "real-time", and wouldn't want to encourage that idea.
Stored or live, that is a separate discussion but in the case of streaming of one-way content, the crucial thing is the tolerable delay not whether the content is pre-encoded or live. -acbegen

These requirements are Randell's text, mostly, cropped into an I-D format and annotated a bit by me. I'll upload this to the I-D server tomorrow. Randell, is it OK to submit it with your name in the I-D name?
Comments are welcome for 24 hours starting .... now ....
