Benoit submitted a DISCUSS related to management. It was discussed and adding the following text as the penultimate paragraph in s1 ought will resolve it:

Operators should note that deployment of WebRTC will
result in a change in the nature of signaling for real time
media on the network, and may result in a shift in the
kinds of devices used to create and consume such media.
In the case of signaling, WebRTC session setup will typically
occur over TLS-secured web technologies (such as
WebSockets [RFC6455]) using application-specific protocols.
Operational techniques that involve inserting network
elements to interpret SDP -- either through endpoint
cooperation [RFC3361] or through the transparent insertion
of of SIP Application Level Gateways (ALGs) -- will not work
with such signaling. In the case of networks using cooperative
endpoints, the approaches defined in [RFC8155] may serve as
a suitable replacement for [RFC3361]. The increase in
browser-based communications may also lead to a shift away
from dedicated real-time-communications hardware, such as
SIP desk phones. This will diminish the efficacy of operational
techniques that place dedicated real-time devices on their own
network segment, address range, or VLAN for purposes such as
applying traffic filtering and QoS. The markings described in
[ID.ietf-tsvwg-rtcweb-qos] may be appropriate replacements for
such techniques.
