- SDP: Session Description Protocol
-
-Status of this Memo
-
- This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
- Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
- improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
- Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
- and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

-Abstract
-
- This document defines the Session Description Protocol, SDP. SDP is
- intended for describing multimedia sessions for the purposes of
- session announcement, session invitation, and other forms of
- multimedia session initiation.
-
- This document is a product of the Multiparty Multimedia Session
- Control (MMUSIC) working group of the Internet Engineering Task
- Force. Comments are solicited and should be addressed to the working
- group's mailing list at [email protected] and/or the authors.
-
-1. Introduction
-
- On the Internet multicast backbone (Mbone), a session directory tool
- is used to advertise multimedia conferences and communicate the
- conference addresses and conference tool-specific information
- necessary for participation. This document defines a session
- description protocol for this purpose, and for general real-time
- multimedia session description purposes. This memo does not describe
- multicast address allocation or the distribution of SDP messages in
- detail. These are described in accompanying memos. SDP is not
- intended for negotiation of media encodings.

-
-
-2. Background
-
- The Mbone is the part of the internet that supports IP multicast, and
- thus permits efficient many-to-many communication. It is used
- extensively for multimedia conferencing. Such conferences usually
- have the property that tight coordination of conference membership is
- not necessary; to receive a conference, a user at an Mbone site only
- has to know the conference's multicast group address and the UDP
- ports for the conference data streams.
-
- Session directories assist the advertisement of conference sessions
- and communicate the relevant conference setup information to
- prospective participants. SDP is designed to convey such information
- to recipients. SDP is purely a format for session description - it
- does not incorporate a transport protocol, and is intended to use
- different transport protocols as appropriate including the Session
- Announcement Protocol [4], Session Initiation Protocol [11], Real-
- Time Streaming Protocol [12], electronic mail using the MIME
- extensions, and the Hypertext Transport Protocol.
-
- SDP is intended to be general purpose so that it can be used for a
- wider range of network environments and applications than just
- multicast session directories. However, it is not intended to
- support negotiation of session content or media encodings - this is
- viewed as outside the scope of session description.
-
-3. Glossary of Terms
-
- The following terms are used in this document, and have specific
- meaning within the context of this document.
-
- Conference
- A multimedia conference is a set of two or more communicating users
- along with the software they are using to communicate.
-
- Session
- A multimedia session is a set of multimedia senders and receivers
- and the data streams flowing from senders to receivers. A
- multimedia conference is an example of a multimedia session.
-
- Session Advertisement
- See session announcement.
-
- Session Announcement
- A session announcement is a mechanism by which a session
- description is conveyed to users in a proactive fashion, i.e., the
- session description was not explicitly requested by the user.
-
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 2]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- Session Description
- A well defined format for conveying sufficient information to
- discover and participate in a multimedia session.
-
-3.1. Terminology
-
- 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 RFC 2119.
-
-4. SDP Usage
-
-4.1. Multicast Announcements
-
- SDP is a session description protocol for multimedia sessions. A
- common mode of usage is for a client to announce a conference session
- by periodically multicasting an announcement packet to a well known
- multicast address and port using the Session Announcement Protocol
- (SAP).
-
- SAP packets are UDP packets with the following format:
-
- |--------------------|
- | SAP header |
- |--------------------|
- | text payload |
- |//////////
-
-
- The header is the Session Announcement Protocol header. SAP is
- described in more detail in a companion memo [4]
-
- The text payload is an SDP session description, as described in this
- memo. The text payload should be no greater than 1 Kbyte in length.
- If announced by SAP, only one session announcement is permitted in a
- single packet.
-
-4.2. Email and WWW Announcements
-
- Alternative means of conveying session descriptions include
- electronic mail and the World Wide Web. For both email and WWW
- distribution, the use of the MIME content type "application/sdp"
- should be used. This enables the automatic launching of applications
- for participation in the session from the WWW client or mail reader
- in a standard manner.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 3]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- Note that announcements of multicast sessions made only via email or
- the World Wide Web (WWW) do not have the property that the receiver
- of a session announcement can necessarily receive the session because
- the multicast sessions may be restricted in scope, and access to the
- WWW server or reception of email is possible outside this scope. SAP
- announcements do not suffer from this mismatch.
-
-5. Requirements and Recommendations
-
- The purpose of SDP is to convey information about media streams in
- multimedia sessions to allow the recipients of a session description
- to participate in the session. SDP is primarily intended for use in
- an internetwork, although it is sufficiently general that it can
- describe conferences in other network environments.
-
- A multimedia session, for these purposes, is defined as a set of
- media streams that exist for some duration of time. Media streams
- can be many-to-many. The times during which the session is active
- need not be continuous.
-
- Thus far, multicast based sessions on the Internet have differed from
- many other forms of conferencing in that anyone receiving the traffic
- can join the session (unless the session traffic is encrypted). In
- such an environment, SDP serves two primary purposes. It is a means
- to communicate the existence of a session, and is a means to convey
- sufficient information to enable joining and participating in the
- session. In a unicast environment, only the latter purpose is likely
- to be relevant.
-
- Thus SDP includes:
-
- o Session name and purpose
-
- o Time(s) the session is active
-
- o The media comprising the session
-
- o Information to receive those media (addresses, ports, formats and
- so on)
-
- As resources necessary to participate in a session may be limited,
- some additional information may also be desirable:
-
- o Information about the bandwidth to be used by the conference
-
- o Contact information for the person responsible for the session
-
-
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 4]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- In general, SDP must convey sufficient information to be able to join
- a session (with the possible exception of encryption keys) and to
- announce the resources to be used to non-participants that may need
- to know.
-
-5.1. Media Information
-
- SDP includes:
-
- o The type of media (video, audio, etc)
-
- o The transport protocol (RTP/UDP/IP, H.320, etc)
-
- o The format of the media (H.261 video, MPEG video, etc)
-
- For an IP multicast session, the following are also conveyed:
-
- o Multicast address for media
-
- o Transport Port for media
-
- This address and port are the destination address and destination
- port of the multicast stream, whether being sent, received, or both.
-
- For an IP unicast session, the following are conveyed:
-
- o Remote address for media
-
- o Transport port for contact address
-
- The semantics of this address and port depend on the media and
- transport protocol defined. By default, this is the remote address
- and remote port to which data is sent, and the remote address and
- local port on which to receive data. However, some media may define
- to use these to establish a control channel for the actual media
- flow.
-
-5.2. Timing Information
-
- Sessions may either be bounded or unbounded in time. Whether or not
- they are bounded, they may be only active at specific times.
-
- SDP can convey:
-
- o An arbitrary list of start and stop times bounding the session
-
- o For each bound, repeat times such as "every Wednesday at 10am for
- one hour"
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 5]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- This timing information is globally consistent, irrespective of local
- time zone or daylight saving time.
-
-5.3. Private Sessions
-
- It is possible to create both public sessions and private sessions.
- Private sessions will typically be conveyed by encrypting the session
- description to distribute it. The details of how encryption is
- performed are dependent on the mechanism used to convey SDP - see [4]
- for how this is done for session announcements.
-
- If a session announcement is private it is possible to use that
- private announcement to convey encryption keys necessary to decode
- each of the media in a conference, including enough information to
- know which encryption scheme is used for each media.
-
-5.4. Obtaining Further Information about a Session
-
- A session description should convey enough information to decide
- whether or not to participate in a session. SDP may include
- additional pointers in the form of Universal Resources Identifiers
- (URIs) for more information about the session.
-
-5.5. Categorisation
-
- When many session descriptions are being distributed by SAP or any
- other advertisement mechanism, it may be desirable to filter
- announcements that are of interest from those that are not. SDP
- supports a categorisation mechanism for sessions that is capable of
- being automated.
-
-5.6. Internationalization
-
- The SDP specification recommends the use of the ISO 10646 character
- sets in the UTF-8 encoding (RFC 2044) to allow many different
- languages to be represented. However, to assist in compact
- representations, SDP also allows other character sets such as ISO
- 8859-1 to be used when desired. Internationalization only applies to
- free-text fields (session name and background information), and not
- to SDP as a whole.
-
-6. SDP Specification
-
- SDP session descriptions are entirely textual using the ISO 10646
- character set in UTF-8 encoding. SDP field names and attributes names
- use only the US-ASCII subset of UTF-8, but textual fields and
- attribute values may use the full ISO 10646 character set. The
- textual form, as opposed to a binary encoding such as ASN/1 or XDR,
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 6]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- was chosen to enhance portability, to enable a variety of transports
- to be used (e.g, session description in a MIME email message) and to
- allow flexible, text-based toolkits (e.g., Tcl/Tk ) to be used to
- generate and to process session descriptions. However, since the
- total bandwidth allocated to all SAP announcements is strictly
- limited, the encoding is deliberately compact. Also, since
- announcements may be transported via very unreliable means (e.g.,
- email) or damaged by an intermediate caching server, the encoding was
- designed with strict order and formatting rules so that most errors
- would result in malformed announcements which could be detected
- easily and discarded. This also allows rapid discarding of encrypted
- announcements for which a receiver does not have the correct key.
-
- An SDP session description consists of a number of lines of text of
- the form <type>=<value> <type> is always exactly one character and is
- case-significant. <value> is a structured text string whose format
- depends on <type>. It also will be case-significant unless a
- specific field defines otherwise. Whitespace is not permitted either
- side of the `=' sign. In general <value> is either a number of fields
- delimited by a single space character or a free format string.
-
- A session description consists of a session-level description
- (details that apply to the whole session and all media streams) and
- optionally several media-level descriptions (details that apply onto
- to a single media stream).
-
- An announcement consists of a session-level section followed by zero
- or more media-level sections. The session-level part starts with a
- `v=' line and continues to the first media-level section. The media
- description starts with an `m=' line and continues to the next media
- description or end of the whole session description. In general,
- session-level values are the default for all media unless overridden
- by an equivalent media-level value.
-
- When SDP is conveyed by SAP, only one session description is allowed
- per packet. When SDP is conveyed by other means, many SDP session
- descriptions may be concatenated together (the `v=' line indicating
- the start of a session description terminates the previous
- description). Some lines in each description are required and some
- are optional but all must appear in exactly the order given here (the
- fixed order greatly enhances error detection and allows for a simple
- parser). Optional items are marked with a `*'.
-
-Session description
- v= (protocol version)
- o= (owner/creator and session identifier).
- s= (session name)
- i=* (session information)
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 7]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- u=* (URI of description)
- e=* (email address)
- p=* (phone number)
- c=* (connection information - not required if included in all media)
- b=* (bandwidth information)
- One or more time descriptions (see below)
- z=* (time zone adjustments)
- k=* (encryption key)
- a=* (zero or more session attribute lines)
- Zero or more media descriptions (see below)
-
-Time description
- t= (time the session is active)
- r=* (zero or more repeat times)
-
-Media description
- m= (media name and transport address)
- i=* (media title)
- c=* (connection information - optional if included at session-level)
- b=* (bandwidth information)
- k=* (encryption key)
- a=* (zero or more media attribute lines)
-
- The set of `type' letters is deliberately small and not intended to
- be extensible -- SDP parsers must completely ignore any announcement
- that contains a `type' letter that it does not understand. The
- `attribute' mechanism ("a=" described below) is the primary means for
- extending SDP and tailoring it to particular applications or media.
- Some attributes (the ones listed in this document) have a defined
- meaning but others may be added on an application-, media- or
- session-specific basis. A session directory must ignore any
- attribute it doesn't understand.
-
- The connection (`c=') and attribute (`a=') information in the
- session-level section applies to all the media of that session unless
- overridden by connection information or an attribute of the same name
- in the media description. For instance, in the example below, each
- media behaves as if it were given a `recvonly' attribute.
-
- An example SDP description is:
-
- v=0

-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 8]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- t=2873397496 2873404696
- a=recvonly
- m=audio 49170 RTP/AVP 0
- m=video 51372 RTP/AVP 31
- m=application 32416 udp wb
- a=orient:portrait
-
- Text records such as the session name and information are bytes
- strings which may contain any byte with the exceptions of 0x00 (Nul),
- 0x0a (ASCII newline) and 0x0d (ASCII carriage return). The sequence
- CRLF (0x0d0a) is used to end a record, although parsers should be
- tolerant and also accept records terminated with a single newline
- character. By default these byte strings contain ISO-10646
- characters in UTF-8 encoding, but this default may be changed using
- the `charset' attribute.
-
- Protocol Version
-
- v=0
-
- The "v=" field gives the version of the Session Description Protocol.
- There is no minor version number.
-
- Origin
-
- o=<username> <session id> <version> <network type> <address type>
- <address>
-
- The "o=" field gives the originator of the session (their username
- and the address of the user's host) plus a session id and session
- version number.
-
- <username> is the user's login on the originating host, or it is "-"
- if the originating host does not support the concept of user ids.
- <username> must not contain spaces. <session id> is a numeric string
- such that the tuple of <username>, <session id>, <network type>,
- <address type> and <address> form a globally unique identifier for
- the session.
-
- The method of <session id> allocation is up to the creating tool, but
- it has been suggested that a Network Time Protocol (NTP) timestamp be
- used to ensure uniqueness [1].
-
- <version> is a version number for this announcement. It is needed
- for proxy announcements to detect which of several announcements for
- the same session is the most recent. Again its usage is up to the
-
-
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 9]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- creating tool, so long as <version> is increased when a modification
- is made to the session data. Again, it is recommended (but not
- mandatory) that an NTP timestamp is used.
-
- <network type> is a text string giving the type of network.
- Initially "IN" is defined to have the meaning "Internet". <address
- type> is a text string giving the type of the address that follows.
- Initially "IP4" and "IP6" are defined. <address> is the globally
- unique address of the machine from which the session was created.
- For an address type of IP4, this is either the fully-qualified domain
- name of the machine, or the dotted-decimal representation of the IP
- version 4 address of the machine. For an address type of IP6, this
- is either the fully-qualified domain name of the machine, or the
- compressed textual representation of the IP version 6 address of the
- machine. For both IP4 and IP6, the fully-qualified domain name is
- the form that SHOULD be given unless this is unavailable, in which
- case the globally unique address may be substituted. A local IP
- address MUST NOT be used in any context where the SDP description
- might leave the scope in which the address is meaningful.
-
- In general, the "o=" field serves as a globally unique identifier for
- this version of this session description, and the subfields excepting
- the version taken together identify the session irrespective of any
- modifications.
-
- Session Name
-
- s=<session name>
-
- The "s=" field is the session name. There must be one and only one
- "s=" field per session description, and it must contain ISO 10646
- characters (but see also the `charset' attribute below).
-
- Session and Media Information
-
- i=<session description>
-
- The "i=" field is information about the session. There may be at
- most one session-level "i=" field per session description, and at
- most one "i=" field per media. Although it may be omitted, this is
- discouraged for session announcements, and user interfaces for
- composing sessions should require text to be entered. If it is
- present it must contain ISO 10646 characters (but see also the
- `charset' attribute below).
-
- A single "i=" field can also be used for each media definition. In
- media definitions, "i=" fields are primarily intended for labeling
- media streams. As such, they are most likely to be useful when a
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 10]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- single session has more than one distinct media stream of the same
- media type. An example would be two different whiteboards, one for
- slides and one for feedback and questions.
-
- URI
-
- u=<URI>
-
- o A URI is a Universal Resource Identifier as used by WWW clients
-
- o The URI should be a pointer to additional information about the
- conference
-
- o This field is optional, but if it is present it should be specified
- before the first media field
-
- o No more than one URI field is allowed per session description
-
-
- Email Address and Phone Number
-
- e=<email address>
- p=<phone number>
-
- o These specify contact information for the person responsible for
- the conference. This is not necessarily the same person that
- created the conference announcement.
-
- o Either an email field or a phone field must be specified.
- Additional email and phone fields are allowed.
-
- o If these are present, they should be specified before the first
- media field.
-
- o More than one email or phone field can be given for a session
- description.
-
- o Phone numbers should be given in the conventional international
-
- format - preceded by a "+ and the international country code.
- There must be a space or a hyphen ("-") between the country code
- and the rest of the phone number. Spaces and hyphens may be used
- to split up a phone field to aid readability if desired. For
- example:
-
- p=+44-171-380-7777 or p=+1 617 253 6011
-
-
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 11]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- o Both email addresses and phone numbers can have an optional free
- text string associated with them, normally giving the name of the
- person who may be contacted. This should be enclosed in
- parenthesis if it is present. For example:
-
- [email protected] (Mark Handley)
-
- The alternative RFC822 name quoting convention is also allowed for
- both email addresses and phone numbers. For example,
-
- e=Mark Handley <[email protected]>
-
- The free text string should be in the ISO-10646 character set with
- UTF-8 encoding, or alternatively in ISO-8859-1 or other encodings
- if the appropriate charset session-level attribute is set.
-
- Connection Data
-
- c=<network type> <address type> <connection address>
-
- The "c=" field contains connection data.
-
- A session announcement must contain one "c=" field in each media
- description (see below) or a "c=" field at the session-level. It may
- contain a session-level "c=" field and one additional "c=" field per
- media description, in which case the per-media values override the
- session-level settings for the relevant media.
-
- The first sub-field is the network type, which is a text string
- giving the type of network. Initially "IN" is defined to have the
- meaning "Internet".
-
- The second sub-field is the address type. This allows SDP to be used
- for sessions that are not IP based. Currently only IP4 is defined.
-
- The third sub-field is the connection address. Optional extra
- subfields may be added after the connection address depending on the
- value of the <address type> field.
-
- For IP4 addresses, the connection address is defined as follows:
-
- o Typically the connection address will be a class-D IP multicast
-
- group address. If the session is not multicast, then the
- connection address contains the fully-qualified domain name or the
- unicast IP address of the expected data source or data relay or
- data sink as determined by additional attribute fields. It is not
- expected that fully-qualified domain names or unicast addresses
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 12]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- will be given in a session description that is communicated by a
- multicast announcement, though this is not prohibited. If a
- unicast data stream is to pass through a network address
- translator, the use of a fully-qualified domain name rather than an
- unicast IP address is RECOMMENDED. In other cases, the use of an
- IP address to specify a particular interface on a multi-homed host
- might be required. Thus this specification leaves the decision as
- to which to use up to the individual application, but all
- applications MUST be able to cope with receiving both formats.
-
- o Conferences using an IP multicast connection address must also have
- a time to live (TTL) value present in addition to the multicast
- address. The TTL and the address together define the scope with
- which multicast packets sent in this conference will be sent. TTL
- values must be in the range 0-255.
-
- The TTL for the session is appended to the address using a slash as
- a separator. An example is:
-
- c=IN IP4 224.2.1.1/127
-
- Hierarchical or layered encoding schemes are data streams where the
- encoding from a single media source is split into a number of
- layers. The receiver can choose the desired quality (and hence
- bandwidth) by only subscribing to a subset of these layers. Such
- layered encodings are normally transmitted in multiple multicast
- groups to allow multicast pruning. This technique keeps unwanted
- traffic from sites only requiring certain levels of the hierarchy.
- For applications requiring multiple multicast groups, we allow the
- following notation to be used for the connection address:
-
- <base multicast address>/<ttl>/<number of addresses>
-
- If the number of addresses is not given it is assumed to be one.
- Multicast addresses so assigned are contiguously allocated above
- the base address, so that, for example:
-
- c=IN IP4 224.2.1.1/127/3
-
- would state that addresses 224.2.1.1, 224.2.1.2 and 224.2.1.3 are
- to be used at a ttl of 127. This is semantically identical to
- including multiple "c=" lines in a media description:
-
- c=IN IP4 224.2.1.1/127
- c=IN IP4 224.2.1.2/127
- c=IN IP4 224.2.1.3/127

-
- Multiple addresses or "c=" lines can only be specified on a per-
- media basis, and not for a session-level "c=" field.
-
- It is illegal for the slash notation described above to be used for
- IP unicast addresses.
-
- Bandwidth
-
- b=<modifier>:<bandwidth-value>
-
- o This specifies the proposed bandwidth to be used by the session or
- media, and is optional.
-
- o <bandwidth-value> is in kilobits per second
-
- o <modifier> is a single alphanumeric word giving the meaning of the
- bandwidth figure.
-
- o Two modifiers are initially defined:
-
- CT Conference Total: An implicit maximum bandwidth is associated with
- each TTL on the Mbone or within a particular multicast
- administrative scope region (the Mbone bandwidth vs. TTL limits are
- given in the MBone FAQ). If the bandwidth of a session or media in
- a session is different from the bandwidth implicit from the scope,
- a `b=CT:...' line should be supplied for the session giving the
- proposed upper limit to the bandwidth used. The primary purpose of
- this is to give an approximate idea as to whether two or more
- conferences can co-exist simultaneously.
-
- AS Application-Specific Maximum: The bandwidth is interpreted to be
- application-specific, i.e., will be the application's concept of
- maximum bandwidth. Normally this will coincide with what is set on
- the application's "maximum bandwidth" control if applicable.
-
- Note that CT gives a total bandwidth figure for all the media at
- all sites. AS gives a bandwidth figure for a single media at a
- single site, although there may be many sites sending
- simultaneously.
-
- o Extension Mechanism: Tool writers can define experimental bandwidth
- modifiers by prefixing their modifier with "X-". For example:
-
- b=X-YZ:128
-
- SDP parsers should ignore bandwidth fields with unknown modifiers.
- Modifiers should be alpha-numeric and, although no length limit is
- given, they are recommended to be short.

-
- Times, Repeat Times and Time Zones
-
- t=<start time> <stop time>
-
- o "t=" fields specify the start and stop times for a conference
- session. Multiple "t=" fields may be used if a session is active
- at multiple irregularly spaced times; each additional "t=" field
- specifies an additional period of time for which the session will
- be active. If the session is active at regular times, an "r="
- field (see below) should be used in addition to and following a
- "t=" field - in which case the "t=" field specifies the start and
- stop times of the repeat sequence.
-
- o The first and second sub-fields give the start and stop times for
- the conference respectively. These values are the decimal
- representation of Network Time Protocol (NTP) time values in
- seconds [1]. To convert these values to UNIX time, subtract
- decimal 2208988800.
-
- o If the stop-time is set to zero, then the session is not bounded,
- though it will not become active until after the start-time. If
- the start-time is also zero, the session is regarded as permanent.
-
- User interfaces should strongly discourage the creation of
- unbounded and permanent sessions as they give no information about
- when the session is actually going to terminate, and so make
- scheduling difficult.
-
- The general assumption may be made, when displaying unbounded
- sessions that have not timed out to the user, that an unbounded
- session will only be active until half an hour from the current
- time or the session start time, whichever is the later. If
- behaviour other than this is required, an end-time should be given
- and modified as appropriate when new information becomes available
- about when the session should really end.
-
- Permanent sessions may be shown to the user as never being active
- unless there are associated repeat times which state precisely when
- the session will be active. In general, permanent sessions should
- not be created for any session expected to have a duration of less
- than 2 months, and should be discouraged for sessions expected to
- have a duration of less than 6 months.
-
- r=<repeat interval> <active duration> <list of offsets from start-
- time>
-
- o "r=" fields specify repeat times for a session. For example, if
- a session is active at 10am on Monday and 11am on Tuesday for one
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 15]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- hour each week for three months, then the <start time> in the
- corresponding "t=" field would be the NTP representation of 10am on
- the first Monday, the <repeat interval> would be 1 week, the
- <active duration> would be 1 hour, and the offsets would be zero
- and 25 hours. The corresponding "t=" field stop time would be the
- NTP representation of the end of the last session three months
- later. By default all fields are in seconds, so the "r=" and "t="
- fields might be:
-
- t=3034423619 3042462419
- r=604800 3600 0 90000
-
- To make announcements more compact, times may also be given in units
- of days, hours or minutes. The syntax for these is a number
- immediately followed by a single case-sensitive character.
- Fractional units are not allowed - a smaller unit should be used
- instead. The following unit specification characters are allowed:
-
- d - days (86400 seconds)
- h - minutes (3600 seconds)
- m - minutes (60 seconds)
- s - seconds (allowed for completeness but not recommended)
-
- Thus, the above announcement could also have been written:
-
- r=7d 1h 0 25h
-
- Monthly and yearly repeats cannot currently be directly specified
- with a single SDP repeat time - instead separate "t" fields should
- be used to explicitly list the session times.
-
- z=<adjustment time> <offset> <adjustment time> <offset> ....
-
- o To schedule a repeated session which spans a change from daylight-
- saving time to standard time or vice-versa, it is necessary to
- specify offsets from the base repeat times. This is required
- because different time zones change time at different times of day,
- different countries change to or from daylight time on different
- dates, and some countries do not have daylight saving time at all.
-
- Thus in order to schedule a session that is at the same time winter
- and summer, it must be possible to specify unambiguously by whose
- time zone a session is scheduled. To simplify this task for
- receivers, we allow the sender to specify the NTP time that a time
- zone adjustment happens and the offset from the time when the
- session was first scheduled. The "z" field allows the sender to
- specify a list of these adjustment times and offsets from the base
- time.
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 16]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- An example might be:
-
- z=2882844526 -1h 2898848070 0
-
- This specifies that at time 2882844526 the time base by which the
- session's repeat times are calculated is shifted back by 1 hour,
- and that at time 2898848070 the session's original time base is
- restored. Adjustments are always relative to the specified start
- time - they are not cumulative.
-
- o If a session is likely to last several years, it is expected
- that
- the session announcement will be modified periodically rather than
- transmit several years worth of adjustments in one announcement.
-
- Encryption Keys
-
- k=<method>
- k=<method>:<encryption key>
-
- o The session description protocol may be used to convey encryption
- keys. A key field is permitted before the first media entry (in
- which case it applies to all media in the session), or for each
- media entry as required.
-
- o The format of keys and their usage is outside the scope of this
- document, but see [3].
-
- o The method indicates the mechanism to be used to obtain a usable
- key by external means, or from the encoded encryption key given.
-
- The following methods are defined:
-
- k=clear:<encryption key>
- The encryption key (as described in [3] for RTP media streams
- under the AV profile) is included untransformed in this key
- field.
-
- k=base64:<encoded encryption key>
- The encryption key (as described in [3] for RTP media streams
- under the AV profile) is included in this key field but has been
- base64 encoded because it includes characters that are
- prohibited in SDP.
-
- k=uri:<URI to obtain key>
- A Universal Resource Identifier as used by WWW clients is
- included in this key field. The URI refers to the data
- containing the key, and may require additional authentication
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 17]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- before the key can be returned. When a request is made to the
- given URI, the MIME content-type of the reply specifies the
- encoding for the key in the reply. The key should not be
- obtained until the user wishes to join the session to reduce
- synchronisation of requests to the WWW server(s).
-
- k=prompt
- No key is included in this SDP description, but the session or
- media stream referred to by this key field is encrypted. The
- user should be prompted for the key when attempting to join the
- session, and this user-supplied key should then be used to
- decrypt the media streams.
-
- Attributes
-
- a=<attribute>
- a=<attribute>:<value>
-
- Attributes are the primary means for extending SDP. Attributes may
- be defined to be used as "session-level" attributes, "media-level"
- attributes, or both.
-
- A media description may have any number of attributes ("a=" fields)
- which are media specific. These are referred to as "media-level"
- attributes and add information about the media stream. Attribute
- fields can also be added before the first media field; these
- "session-level" attributes convey additional information that applies
- to the conference as a whole rather than to individual media; an
- example might be the conference's floor control policy.
-
- Attribute fields may be of two forms:
-
- o property attributes. A property attribute is simply of the form
- "a=<flag>". These are binary attributes, and the presence of the
- attribute conveys that the attribute is a property of the session.
- An example might be "a=recvonly".
-
- o value attributes. A value attribute is of the form
- "a=<attribute>:<value>". An example might be that a whiteboard
- could have the value attribute "a=orient:landscape"
-
- Attribute interpretation depends on the media tool being invoked.
- Thus receivers of session descriptions should be configurable in
- their interpretation of announcements in general and of attributes in
- particular.
-
- Attribute names must be in the US-ASCII subset of ISO-10646/UTF-8.
-
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 18]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- Attribute values are byte strings, and MAY use any byte value except
- 0x00 (Nul), 0x0A (LF), and 0x0D (CR). By default, attribute values
- are to be interpreted as in ISO-10646 character set with UTF-8
- encoding. Unlike other text fields, attribute values are NOT
- normally affected by the `charset' attribute as this would make
- comparisons against known values problematic. However, when an
- attribute is defined, it can be defined to be charset-dependent, in
- which case it's value should be interpreted in the session charset
- rather than in ISO-10646.
-
- Attributes that will be commonly used can be registered with IANA
- (see Appendix B). Unregistered attributes should begin with "X-" to
- prevent inadvertent collision with registered attributes. In either
- case, if an attribute is received that is not understood, it should
- simply be ignored by the receiver.
-
- Media Announcements
-
- m=<media> <port> <transport> <fmt list>
-
- A session description may contain a number of media descriptions.
- Each media description starts with an "m=" field, and is terminated
- by either the next "m=" field or by the end of the session
- description. A media field also has several sub-fields:
-
- o The first sub-field is the media type. Currently defined media are
- "audio", "video", "application", "data" and "control", though this
- list may be extended as new communication modalities emerge (e.g.,
- telepresense). The difference between "application" and "data" is
- that the former is a media flow such as whiteboard information, and
- the latter is bulk-data transfer such as multicasting of program
- executables which will not typically be displayed to the user.
- "control" is used to specify an additional conference control
- channel for the session.
-
- o The second sub-field is the transport port to which the media
- stream will be sent. The meaning of the transport port depends on
- the network being used as specified in the relevant "c" field and
- on the transport protocol defined in the third sub-field. Other
- ports used by the media application (such as the RTCP port, see
- [2]) should be derived algorithmically from the base media port.
-
- Note: For transports based on UDP, the value should be in the range
- 1024 to 65535 inclusive. For RTP compliance it should be an even
- number.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 19]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- For applications where hierarchically encoded streams are being
- sent to a unicast address, it may be necessary to specify multiple
- transport ports. This is done using a similar notation to that
- used for IP multicast addresses in the "c=" field:
-
- m=<media> <port>/<number of ports> <transport> <fmt list>
-
- In such a case, the ports used depend on the transport protocol.
- For RTP, only the even ports are used for data and the
- corresponding one-higher odd port is used for RTCP. For example:
-
- m=video 49170/2 RTP/AVP 31
-
- would specify that ports 49170 and 49171 form one RTP/RTCP pair and
- 49172 and 49173 form the second RTP/RTCP pair. RTP/AVP is the
- transport protocol and 31 is the format (see below).
-
- It is illegal for both multiple addresses to be specified in the
- "c=" field and for multiple ports to be specified in the "m=" field
- in the same session description.
-
- o The third sub-field is the transport protocol. The transport
- protocol values are dependent on the address-type field in the "c="
- fields. Thus a "c=" field of IP4 defines that the transport
- protocol runs over IP4. For IP4, it is normally expected that most
- media traffic will be carried as RTP over UDP. The following
- transport protocols are preliminarily defined, but may be extended
- through registration of new protocols with IANA:
-
- - RTP/AVP - the IETF's Realtime Transport Protocol using the
- Audio/Video profile carried over UDP.
-
- - udp - User Datagram Protocol
-
- If an application uses a single combined proprietary media format
- and transport protocol over UDP, then simply specifying the
- transport protocol as udp and using the format field to distinguish
- the combined protocol is recommended. If a transport protocol is
- used over UDP to carry several distinct media types that need to be
- distinguished by a session directory, then specifying the transport
- protocol and media format separately is necessary. RTP is an
- example of a transport-protocol that carries multiple payload
- formats that must be distinguished by the session directory for it
- to know how to start appropriate tools, relays, mixers or
- recorders.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 20]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- The main reason to specify the transport-protocol in addition to
- the media format is that the same standard media formats may be
- carried over different transport protocols even when the network
- protocol is the same - a historical example is vat PCM audio and
- RTP PCM audio. In addition, relays and monitoring tools that are
- transport-protocol-specific but format-independent are possible.
-
- For RTP media streams operating under the RTP Audio/Video Profile
- [3], the protocol field is "RTP/AVP". Should other RTP profiles be
- defined in the future, their profiles will be specified in the same
- way. For example, the protocol field "RTP/XYZ" would specify RTP
- operating under a profile whose short name is "XYZ".
-
- o The fourth and subsequent sub-fields are media formats. For audio
- and video, these will normally be a media payload type as defined
- in the RTP Audio/Video Profile.
-
- When a list of payload formats is given, this implies that all of
- these formats may be used in the session, but the first of these
- formats is the default format for the session.
-
- For media whose transport protocol is not RTP or UDP the format
- field is protocol specific. Such formats should be defined in an
- additional specification document.
-
- For media whose transport protocol is RTP, SDP can be used to
- provide a dynamic binding of media encoding to RTP payload type.
- The encoding names in the RTP AV Profile do not specify unique
- audio encodings (in terms of clock rate and number of audio
- channels), and so they are not used directly in SDP format fields.
- Instead, the payload type number should be used to specify the
- format for static payload types and the payload type number along
- with additional encoding information should be used for dynamically
- allocated payload types.
-
- An example of a static payload type is u-law PCM coded single
- channel audio sampled at 8KHz. This is completely defined in the
- RTP Audio/Video profile as payload type 0, so the media field for
- such a stream sent to UDP port 49232 is:
-
- m=video 49232 RTP/AVP 0
-
- An example of a dynamic payload type is 16 bit linear encoded
- stereo audio sampled at 16KHz. If we wish to use dynamic RTP/AVP
- payload type 98 for such a stream, additional information is
- required to decode it:
-
- m=video 49232 RTP/AVP 98
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 21]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- a=rtpmap:98 L16/16000/2
-
- The general form of an rtpmap attribute is:
-
- a=rtpmap:<payload type> <encoding name>/<clock rate>[/<encoding
- parameters>]
-
- For audio streams, <encoding parameters> may specify the number of
- audio channels. This parameter may be omitted if the number of
- channels is one provided no additional parameters are needed. For
- video streams, no encoding parameters are currently specified.
-
- Additional parameters may be defined in the future, but
- codecspecific parameters should not be added. Parameters added to
- an rtpmap attribute should only be those required for a session
- directory to make the choice of appropriate media too to
- participate in a session. Codec-specific parameters should be
- added in other attributes.
-
- Up to one rtpmap attribute can be defined for each media format
- specified. Thus we might have:
-
- m=audio 49230 RTP/AVP 96 97 98
- a=rtpmap:96 L8/8000
- a=rtpmap:97 L16/8000
- a=rtpmap:98 L16/11025/2
-
- RTP profiles that specify the use of dynamic payload types must
- define the set of valid encoding names and/or a means to register
- encoding names if that profile is to be used with SDP.
-
- Experimental encoding formats can also be specified using rtpmap.
- RTP formats that are not registered as standard format names must
- be preceded by "X-". Thus a new experimental redundant audio
- stream called GSMLPC using dynamic payload type 99 could be
- specified as:
-
- m=video 49232 RTP/AVP 99
- a=rtpmap:99 X-GSMLPC/8000
-
- Such an experimental encoding requires that any site wishing to
- receive the media stream has relevant configured state in its
- session directory to know which tools are appropriate.
-
- Note that RTP audio formats typically do not include information
- about the number of samples per packet. If a non-default (as
- defined in the RTP Audio/Video Profile) packetisation is required,
- the "ptime" attribute is used as given below.
-
-

-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 22]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- For more details on RTP audio and video formats, see [3].
-
- o Formats for non-RTP media should be registered as MIME content
- types as described in Appendix B. For example, the LBL whiteboard
- application might be registered as MIME content-type application/wb
- with encoding considerations specifying that it operates over UDP,
- with no appropriate file format. In SDP this would then be
- expressed using a combination of the "media" field and the "fmt"
- field, as follows:
-
- m=application 32416 udp wb
-
- Suggested Attributes
-
- The following attributes are suggested. Since application writers
- may add new attributes as they are required, this list is not
- exhaustive.
-
- a=cat:<category>
- This attribute gives the dot-separated hierarchical category of
- the session. This is to enable a receiver to filter unwanted
- sessions by category. It would probably have been a compulsory
- separate field, except for its experimental nature at this time.
- It is a session-level attribute, and is not dependent on charset.
-
- a=keywds:<keywords>
- Like the cat attribute, this is to assist identifying wanted
- sessions at the receiver. This allows a receiver to select
- interesting session based on keywords describing the purpose of
- the session. It is a session-level attribute. It is a charset
- dependent attribute, meaning that its value should be interpreted
- in the charset specified for the session description if one is
- specified, or by default in ISO 10646/UTF-8.
-
- a=tool:<name and version of tool>
- This gives the name and version number of the tool used to create
- the session description. It is a session-level attribute, and is
- not dependent on charset.
-
- a=ptime:<packet time>
- This gives the length of time in milliseconds represented by the
- media in a packet. This is probably only meaningful for audio
- data. It should not be necessary to know ptime to decode RTP or
- vat audio, and it is intended as a recommendation for the
- encoding/packetisation of audio. It is a media attribute, and is
- not dependent on charset.
-
-
-

-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- a=recvonly
- This specifies that the tools should be started in receive-only
- mode where applicable. It can be either a session or media
- attribute, and is not dependent on charset.
-
- a=sendrecv
- This specifies that the tools should be started in send and
- receive mode. This is necessary for interactive conferences with
- tools such as wb which defaults to receive only mode. It can be
- either a session or media attribute, and is not dependent on
- charset.
-
- a=sendonly
- This specifies that the tools should be started in send-only
- mode. An example may be where a different unicast address is to
- be used for a traffic destination than for a traffic source. In
- such a case, two media descriptions may be use, one sendonly and
- one recvonly. It can be either a session or media attribute, but
- would normally only be used as a media attribute, and is not
- dependent on charset.
-
- a=orient:<whiteboard orientation>
- Normally this is only used in a whiteboard media specification.
- It specifies the orientation of a the whiteboard on the screen.
- It is a media attribute. Permitted values are `portrait',
- `landscape' and `seascape' (upside down landscape). It is not
- dependent on charset
-
- a=type:<conference type>
- This specifies the type of the conference. Suggested values are
- `broadcast', `meeting', `moderated', `test' and `H332'.
- `recvonly' should be the default for `type:broadcast' sessions,
- `type:meeting' should imply `sendrecv' and `type:moderated'
- should indicate the use of a floor control tool and that the
- media tools are started so as to "mute" new sites joining the
- conference.
-
- Specifying the attribute type:H332 indicates that this loosely
- coupled session is part of a H.332 session as defined in the ITU
- H.332 specification [10]. Media tools should be started
- `recvonly'.
-
- Specifying the attribute type:test is suggested as a hint that,
- unless explicitly requested otherwise, receivers can safely avoid
- displaying this session description to users.
-
- The type attribute is a session-level attribute, and is not
- dependent on charset.
-
-
-

-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- a=charset:<character set>
- This specifies the character set to be used to display the
- session name and information data. By default, the ISO-10646
- character set in UTF-8 encoding is used. If a more compact
- representation is required, other character sets may be used such
- as ISO-8859-1 for Northern European languages. In particular,
- the ISO 8859-1 is specified with the following SDP attribute:
-
- a=charset:ISO-8859-1
-
- This is a session-level attribute; if this attribute is present,
- it must be before the first media field. The charset specified
- MUST be one of those registered with IANA, such as ISO-8859-1.
- The character set identifier is a US-ASCII string and MUST be
- compared against the IANA identifiers using a case-insensitive
- comparison. If the identifier is not recognised or not
- supported, all strings that are affected by it SHOULD be regarded
- as byte strings.
-
- Note that a character set specified MUST still prohibit the use
- of bytes 0x00 (Nul), 0x0A (LF) and 0x0d (CR). Character sets
- requiring the use of these characters MUST define a quoting
- mechanism that prevents these bytes appearing within text fields.
-
- a=sdplang:<language tag>
- This can be a session level attribute or a media level attribute.
- As a session level attribute, it specifies the language for the
- session description. As a media level attribute, it specifies
- the language for any media-level SDP information field associated
- with that media. Multiple sdplang attributes can be provided
- either at session or media level if multiple languages in the
- session description or media use multiple languages, in which
- case the order of the attributes indicates the order of
- importance of the various languages in the session or media from
- most important to least important.
-
- In general, sending session descriptions consisting of multiple
- languages should be discouraged. Instead, multiple descriptions
- should be sent describing the session, one in each language.
- However this is not possible with all transport mechanisms, and
- so multiple sdplang attributes are allowed although not
- recommended.
-
- The sdplang attribute value must be a single RFC 1766 language
- tag in US-ASCII. It is not dependent on the charset attribute.
- An sdplang attribute SHOULD be specified when a session is of
-
-

-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- sufficient scope to cross geographic boundaries where the
- language of recipients cannot be assumed, or where the session is
- in a different language from the locally assumed norm.
-
- a=lang:<language tag>
- This can be a session level attribute or a media level attribute.
- As a session level attribute, it specifies the default language
- for the session being described. As a media level attribute, it
- specifies the language for that media, overriding any session-
- level language specified. Multiple lang attributes can be
- provided either at session or media level if multiple languages
- if the session description or media use multiple languages, in
- which case the order of the attributes indicates the order of
- importance of the various languages in the session or media from
- most important to least important.
-
- The lang attribute value must be a single RFC 1766 language tag
- in US-ASCII. It is not dependent on the charset attribute. A
- lang attribute SHOULD be specified when a session is of
- sufficient scope to cross geographic boundaries where the
- language of recipients cannot be assumed, or where the session is
- in a different language from the locally assumed norm.
-
- a=framerate:<frame rate>
- This gives the maximum video frame rate in frames/sec. It is
- intended as a recommendation for the encoding of video data.
- Decimal representations of fractional values using the notation
- "<integer>.<fraction>" are allowed. It is a media attribute, is
- only defined for video media, and is not dependent on charset.
-
- a=quality:<quality>
- This gives a suggestion for the quality of the encoding as an
- integer value.
-
- The intention of the quality attribute for video is to specify a
- non-default trade-off between frame-rate and still-image quality.
- For video, the value in the range 0 to 10, with the following
- suggested meaning:
-
- 10 - the best still-image quality the compression scheme can
- give.
-
- 5 - the default behaviour given no quality suggestion.
-
- 0 - the worst still-image quality the codec designer thinks is
- still usable.
-
- It is a media attribute, and is not dependent on charset.

-
-
- a=fmtp:<format> <format specific parameters>
- This attribute allows parameters that are specific to a
- particular format to be conveyed in a way that SDP doesn't have
- to understand them. The format must be one of the formats
- specified for the media. Format-specific parameters may be any
- set of parameters required to be conveyed by SDP and given
- unchanged to the media tool that will use this format.
-
- It is a media attribute, and is not dependent on charset.
-
-6.1. Communicating Conference Control Policy
-
- There is some debate over the way conference control policy should be
- communicated. In general, the authors believe that an implicit
- declarative style of specifying conference control is desirable where
- possible.
-
- A simple declarative style uses a single conference attribute field
- before the first media field, possibly supplemented by properties
- such as `recvonly' for some of the media tools. This conference
- attribute conveys the conference control policy. An example might be:
-
- a=type:moderated
-
- In some cases, however, it is possible that this may be insufficient
- to communicate the details of an unusual conference control policy.
- If this is the case, then a conference attribute specifying external
- control might be set, and then one or more "media" fields might be
- used to specify the conference control tools and configuration data
- for those tools. An example is an ITU H.332 session:
-
- c=IN IP4 224.5.6.7
- a=type:H332
- m=audio 49230 RTP/AVP 0
- m=video 49232 RTP/AVP 31
- m=application 12349 udp wb
- m=control 49234 H323 mc
- c=IN IP4 134.134.157.81
-
- In this example, a general conference attribute (type:H332) is
- specified stating that conference control will be provided by an
- external H.332 tool, and a contact addresses for the H.323 session
- multipoint controller is given.
-
- In this document, only the declarative style of conference control
- declaration is specified. Other forms of conference control should
- specify an appropriate type attribute, and should define the
- implications this has for control media.

-7. Security Considerations
-
- SDP is a session description format that describes multimedia
- sessions. A session description should not be trusted unless it has
- been obtained by an authenticated transport protocol from a trusted
- source. Many different transport protocols may be used to distribute
- session description, and the nature of the authentication will differ
- from transport to transport.
-
- One transport that will frequently be used to distribute session
- descriptions is the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP). SAP
- provides both encryption and authentication mechanisms but due to the
- nature of session announcements it is likely that there are many
- occasions where the originator of a session announcement cannot be
- authenticated because they are previously unknown to the receiver of
- the announcement and because no common public key infrastructure is
- available.
-
- On receiving a session description over an unauthenticated transport
- mechanism or from an untrusted party, software parsing the session
- should take a few precautions. Session description contain
- information required to start software on the receivers system.
- Software that parses a session description MUST not be able to start
- other software except that which is specifically configured as
- appropriate software to participate in multimedia sessions. It is
- normally considered INAPPROPRIATE for software parsing a session
- description to start, on a user's system, software that is
- appropriate to participate in multimedia sessions, without the user
- first being informed that such software will be started and giving
- their consent. Thus a session description arriving by session
- announcement, email, session invitation, or WWW page SHOULD not
- deliver the user into an {it interactive} multimedia session without
- the user being aware that this will happen. As it is not always
- simple to tell whether a session is interactive or not, applications
- that are unsure should assume sessions are interactive.
-
- In this specification, there are no attributes which would allow the
- recipient of a session description to be informed to start multimedia
- tools in a mode where they default to transmitting. Under some
- circumstances it might be appropriate to define such attributes. If
- this is done an application parsing a session description containing
- such attributes SHOULD either ignore them, or inform the user that
- joining this session will result in the automatic transmission of
- multimedia data. The default behaviour for an unknown attribute is
- to ignore it.
-
-

-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 28]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- Session descriptions may be parsed at intermediate systems such as
- firewalls for the purposes of opening a hole in the firewall to allow
- the participation in multimedia sessions. It is considered
- INAPPROPRIATE for a firewall to open such holes for unicast data
- streams unless the session description comes in a request from inside
- the firewall.
-
- For multicast sessions, it is likely that local administrators will
- apply their own policies, but the exclusive use of "local" or "site-
- local" administrative scope within the firewall and the refusal of
- the firewall to open a hole for such scopes will provide separation
- of global multicast sessions from local ones.

-Appendix B: Guidelines for registering SDP names with IANA
-
- There are seven field names that may be registered with IANA. Using
- the terminology in the SDP specification BNF, they are "media",
- "proto", "fmt", "att-field", "bwtype", "nettype" and "addrtype".
-
- "media" (eg, audio, video, application, data).
-
- Packetized media types, such as those used by RTP, share the
- namespace used by media types registry [RFC 2048] (i.e. "MIME
- types"). The list of valid media names is the set of top-level
- MIME content types. The set of media is intended to be small and
- not to be extended except under rare circumstances. (The MIME
- subtype corresponds to the "fmt" parameter below).
-
- "proto"
-
- In general this should be an IETF standards-track transport
- protocol identifier such as RTP/AVP (rfc 1889 under the rfc 1890
- profile).
-
- However, people will want to invent their own proprietary
- transport protocols. Some of these should be registered as a
- "fmt" using "udp" as the protocol and some of which probably
- can't be.
-
- Where the protocol and the application are intimately linked,
- such as with the LBL whiteboard wb which used a proprietary and
- special purpose protocol over UDP, the protocol name should be
- "udp" and the format name that should be registered is "wb". The
- rules for formats (see below) apply to such registrations.
-
- Where the proprietary transport protocol really carries many
- different data formats, it is possible to register a new protocol
- name with IANA. In such a case, an RFC MUST be produced
- describing the protocol and referenced in the registration. Such
- an RFC MAY be informational, although it is preferable if it is
- standards-track.
-
- "fmt"
-
- The format namespace is dependent on the context of the "proto"
- field, so a format cannot be registered without specifying one or
- more transport protocols that it applies to.
-
- Formats cover all the possible encodings that might want to be
- transported in a multimedia session.
-
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 36]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- For RTP formats that have been assigned static payload types, the
- payload type number is used. For RTP formats using a dynamic
- payload type number, the dynamic payload type number is given as
- the format and an additional "rtpmap" attribute specifies the
- format and parameters.
-
- For non-RTP formats, any unregistered format name may be
- registered through the MIME-type registration process [RFC 2048].
- The type given here is the MIME subtype only (the top-level MIME
- content type is specified by the media parameter). The MIME type
- registration SHOULD reference a standards-track RFC which
- describes the transport protocol for this media type. If there
- is an existing MIME type for this format, the MIME registration
- should be augmented to reference the transport specification for
- this media type. If there is not an existing MIME type for this
- format, and there exists no appropriate file format, this should
- be noted in the encoding considerations as "no appropriate file
- format".
-
- "att-field" (Attribute names)
-
- Attribute field names MAY be registered with IANA, although this
- is not compulsory, and unknown attributes are simply ignored.
-
- When an attribute is registered, it must be accompanied by a
- brief specification stating the following:
-
- o contact name, email address and telephone number
-
- o attribute-name (as it will appear in SDP)
-
- o long-form attribute name in English
-
- o type of attribute (session level, media level, or both)
-
- o whether the attribute value is subject to the charset
- attribute.
-
- o a one paragraph explanation of the purpose of the attribute.
-
- o a specification of appropriate attribute values for this
- attribute.
-
- IANA will not sanity check such attribute registrations except to
- ensure that they do not clash with existing registrations.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Handley & Jacobson Standards Track [Page 37]
-
-RFC 2327 SDP April 1998
-
-
- Although the above is the minimum that IANA will accept, if the
- attribute is expected to see widespread use and interoperability
- is an issue, authors are encouraged to produce a standards-track
- RFC that specifies the attribute more precisely.
-
- Submitters of registrations should ensure that the specification
- is in the spirit of SDP attributes, most notably that the
- attribute is platform independent in the sense that it makes no
- implicit assumptions about operating systems and does not name
- specific pieces of software in a manner that might inhibit
- interoperability.
-
- "bwtype" (bandwidth specifiers)
-
- A proliferation of bandwidth specifiers is strongly discouraged.
-
- New bandwidth specifiers may be registered with IANA. The
- submission MUST reference a standards-track RFC specifying the
- semantics of the bandwidth specifier precisely, and indicating
- when it should be used, and why the existing registered bandwidth
- specifiers do not suffice.
-
- "nettype" (Network Type)
-
- New network types may be registered with IANA if SDP needs to be
- used in the context of non-internet environments. Whilst these
- are not normally the preserve of IANA, there may be circumstances
- when an Internet application needs to interoperate with a non-
- internet application, such as when gatewaying an internet
- telephony call into the PSTN. The number of network types should
- be small and should be rarely extended. A new network type
- cannot be registered without registering at least one address
- type to be used with that network type. A new network type
- registration MUST reference an RFC which gives details of the
- network type and address type and specifies how and when they
- would be used. Such an RFC MAY be Informational.
-
- "addrtype" (Address Type)
-
- New address types may be registered with IANA. An address type
- is only meaningful in the context of a network type, and any
- registration of an address type MUST specify a registered network
- type, or be submitted along with a network type registration. A
- new address type registration MUST reference an RFC giving
- details of the syntax of the address type. Such an RFC MAY be
- Informational. Address types are not expected to be registered
- frequently.

-
-
- Registration Procedure
-
- To register a name the above guidelines should be followed regarding
- the required level of documentation that is required. The
- registration itself should be sent to IANA. Attribute registrations
- should include the information given above. Other registrations
- should include the following additional information:
-
- o contact name, email address and telephone number
-
- o name being registered (as it will appear in SDP)
-
- o long-form name in English
-
- o type of name ("media", "proto", "fmt", "bwtype", "nettype", or
- "addrtype")
-
- o a one paragraph explanation of the purpose of the registered name.
-
- o a reference to the specification (eg RFC number) of the registered
- name.
-
- IANA may refer any registration to the IESG or to any appropriate
- IETF working group for review, and may request revisions to be made
- before a registration will be made.

- Support for IPv6 in Session Description Protocol (SDP)
-
-Status of this Memo
-
- This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
- Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
- improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
- Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
- and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

-Abstract
-
- This document describes the use of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
- addresses in conjunction with the Session Description Protocol (SDP).
- Specifically, this document clarifies existing text in SDP with
- regards to the syntax of IPv6 addresses.
-
-1. Introduction
-
- SDP is intended for describing multimedia sessions for the purposes
- of session announcement, session invitation, and other forms of
- multimedia session initiation. It is a text format description that
- provides many details of a multimedia session including: the
- originator of the session, a URL related to the session, the
- connection address for the session media(s), and optional attributes
- for the session media(s). Each of these pieces of information may
- involve one or more IPv6 addresses. The ABNF for IP addresses in SDP
- currently leaves the syntax for IPv6 addresses undefined. This
- document attempts to complete the ABNF to include IPv6 addresses.
-
- Accordingly, the address type "IP6" indicating an IPv6 address,
- should be allowed in the connection field, "c=", of the SDP. The
- ABNF already reflects this, though the "Connection Data" text under
- section 6 of RFC 2328 currently only defines the "IP4" address type.

-2. Terminology
-
- 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 RFC 2119 [5].
-
-3. Syntax
-
- RFC 2373 [1] gives an ABNF for the text representation of IPv6
- addresses in Appendix B. RFC 2732 [3] covers the text representation
- of IPv6 addresses when used within a URL. Using the ABNF described
- in these documents, the following updated ABNF for SDP is proposed.
-
- uri = ; defined in RFC1630 and RFC2732
-
- multicast-address = IP4-multicast / IP6-multicast
-
- IP4-multicast = m1 3*( "." decimal-uchar )
- "/" ttl [ "/" integer ]
- ; IPv4 multicast addresses may be in the
- ; range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
-
- m1 = ("22" ("4"/"5"/"6"/"7"/"8"/"9")) /
- ("23" DIGIT ))
-
- IP6-multicast = hexpart
- ; IPv6 address starting with FF
-
- addr = FQDN / unicast-address
-
- FQDN = 4*(alpha-numeric/"-"/".")
- ; fully qualified domain name as specified
- ; in RFC1035
- unicast-address = IP4-address / IP6-address
-
- IP4-address = b1 3*("." decimal-uchar) / "0.0.0.0"
-
- b1 = decimal-uchar
- ; less than "224"; not "0" or "127"
-
- ; The following is from RFC2373 Appendix B. It is a direct copy.
- IP6-address = hexpart [ ":" IP4-address ]
-
- hexpart = hexseq / hexseq "::" [ hexseq ] /
- "::" [ hexseq ]

-
- hexseq = hex4 *( ":" hex4)
-
- hex4 = 1*4HEXDIG
-
-4. Example SDP description with IPv6 addresses
-
- The following is an example SDP description using the above ABNF for
- IPv6 addresses. In particular, the origin and connection fields
- contain IPv6 addresses.
-
- v=0
- o=nasa1 971731711378798081 0 IN IP6 2201:056D::112E:144A:1E24
- s=(Almost) live video feed from Mars-II satellite
- p=+1 713 555 1234
- c=IN IP6 FF1E:03AD::7F2E:172A:1E24
- t=3338481189 3370017201
- m=audio 6000 RTP/AVP 2
- a=rtpmap:2 G726-32/8000
- m=video 6024 RTP/AVP 107
- a=rtpmap:107 H263-1998/90000
-
-5. Note for implementors
-
- An implementation may receive an SDP session description with an IPv6
- address whose format [1] is internally that of an IPv4 mapped
- address. Note that such an address is actually the address of an
- IPv4-only node, and implementors are warned to interpret IPv4 mapped
- addresses as equivalent to IP4.
-
-6. IANA Considerations
-
- This document updates the definition of the IP6 addrtype parameter
- found in RFC 2327.
-
-7. Security Considerations
-
- No additional considerations above what is stated in section 7 of RFC
- 2327.
