Suggested changes to charter.md - Livingood #63

Closed jlivingood closed 1 month ago

Suggesting changes to the charter based on my comments and other comments heard at the BoF.

@jlivingood - A bunch of this PR is very relevant to the discussion on if this work should be done, but it probably should not be in the charter.

I think you are blurring two issues here. One issue is roughly network neutrality, the other is limited bandwidth.

Bandwidth is nearly always limited. The video camera sitting in front of my desk right now produces a about 16 Gbps over IP. Where I live, I can get (and actually have) cable, DSL, mobile, and satellite. None of them provide a connection above 2Gbps at any price. Each one provides an upper bound and though that will change over time, it is not realistic to say they should all just give me 16 Gbps tomorrow or that I would want to pay for this. I view this work as being about the application that is compressing the data off my camera to found out the rate that the network I am using can support.

@fluffy a video camera that can do 16 Gbps sounds amazing! What is it, so I can buy one!? ;-)

Fair enough on the rest.

As irrelevant side note about the camera.... If's the light field camera for Webex Hologram if you want one and that is the uncompressed pixels that come off the sensor array - they go over two 10Gps cat5 cables to the box that compresses the light field. I'm not seriously proposing sending uncompressed video over the internet but having an idea how much we have to compress it is useful. And all the use cases for this need very low latency so I want to send in way with no buffer bloat. Right now it is 30 fps but if the bandwidth was not an issue, I would up the resolution to 10x as many pixels, expand the size of the light field to double the pixels, and double the frame rate.

@jlivingood, thank you again for the changes I was able to implement in #73, and for the changes that are being reflected in broader discussions. I think it's fair for us to close this PR now, and reopen specific issues for specific topics. For example, we have a specific issue on net neutrality, as #68.
