Network Working Group S. Nandakumar Internet-Draft Cisco Intended status: Standards Track July 5, 2015 Expires: January 6, 2016 A Framework for SDP Attributes when Multiplexing draft-ietf-mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes-10 Abstract The Session Description Protocol (SDP) provides mechanisms to describe attributes of multimedia sessions and of individual media streams (e.g., Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) sessions) within a multimedia session. Typically media associated with individual media descriptions ("m=" lines) represent RTP sessions and are thus carried over individual underlying transport layer flows. For scenarios where SDP is used to negotiate the usage of single 5-tuple for sending and receiving media associated with multiple media descriptions, it is required to understand the semantic implications of the SDP attributes associated with the RTP Media Streams multiplexed over a single underlying transport layer flow. The purpose of this specification is to provide a framework for analyzing the multiplexing characteristics of SDP attributes. This specification also categorizes the existing SDP attributes based on the framework described herein.

Introduction SDP defines several attributes for capturing characteristics that apply to the individual media descriptions (described by "m=" lines") and the overall multimedia session. Typically different media types (audio, video, etc.) described using different media descriptions represent separate RTP sessions that are carried over individual transport layer flows. However [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] defines a way to use a single address:port combination (BUNDLE address) for receiving media associated with multiple SDP media descriptions. This would for e.g. allow the usage of a single set of ICE [RFC5245] candidates for multiple media descriptions. This in turn has made necessary to understand the interpretation and usage of the SDP attributes defined for the multiplexed media descriptions. Given the number of SDP attributes registered with the [IANA] and possibility of new attributes being defined in the future, there is Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 5] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 need for generic future-proof framework to analyze these attributes for their applicability in the transport multiplexing use-cases. The document starts with providing the motivation for requiring such a framework. This is followed by introduction to the SDP attribute analysis framework/procedures, following which several sections apply the framework to the SDP attributes registered with the [IANA]. 2. Terminology 5-tuple: A collection of the following values: source address, source port, destination address, destination port, and transport-layer protocol. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 3. Motivation The time and complications of setting up ICE [RFC5245] and DTLS-SRTP [RFC5763] transports for use by RTP, and conservation of ports (to avoid maintaining large number of NAT bindings open, reduce time/ ports needed for ICE to detect connectivity), forms a requirement to try and reduce the number of transport level flows needed. This has resulted in the definition of ways, such as, [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] to multiplex RTP over a single transport flow in order to preserve network resources such as port numbers. This imposes further restrictions on applicability of the SDP attributes as they are defined today. The specific problem is that there are attribute combinations which make sense when specified on independent "m=" lines -- as with classical SDP -- that do not make sense when those "m=" lines are then multiplexed over the same transport. To give an obvious example, ICE permits each "m=" line to have an independently specified ice-ufrag attribute. However, if the media from multiple "m=" lines is multiplexed over the same ICE component, then the meaning of media-level ice-ufrag attributes becomes muddled. At the time of writing this document there are close to 250 SDP attributes registered with the [IANA] and more will be added in the future. There is no clearly defined procedure to establish the validity/applicability of these attributes when used with transport multiplexing. Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 6] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 4. SDP Attribute Analysis Framework Attributes in an SDP session description can be defined at the session-level and media-level. Informally, these attributes could be semantically grouped as noted below. o Attributes related to media content such as media type, encoding schemes, payload types. o Attributes specifying media transport characteristics like RTP/ RTCP port numbers, network addresses, QOS. o Metadata description attributes capturing session timing and origin information. o Attributes establishing relationships between media descriptions such as grouping framework [RFC5888] With the above semantic grouping as a reference, the proposed framework classifies each attribute into one of the following categories: 4.1. Category: NORMAL Attributes that can be independently specified when multiplexing and retain their original semantics. In the example given below, the direction and label attributes are independently specified for audio and video "m=" lines. These attributes are not impacted by multiplexing these media streams over a single transport layer flow. v=0 o=alice 2890844526 2890844527 IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com s= c=IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com t=0 0 m=audio 49172 RTP/AVP 99 a=sendonly a=label:1 a=rtpmap:99 iLBC/8000 m=video 49172 RTP/AVP 31 a=recvonly a=label:2 a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000 Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 7] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 4.2. Category: NOT RECOMMENDED Attributes that are not recommended for multiplexing since their usage under multiplexing might lead to incorrect behavior. Example: Multiplexing media descriptions over a single DCCP transport [RFC5762] is NOT RECOMMENDED since DCCP being a connection oriented protocol doesn't allow multiple connections on the same 5-tuple. v=0 o=bob 2890844527 2890844527 IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com s= c=IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com t=0 0 m=video 5004 DCCP/RTP/AVP 99 a=rtpmap:99 h261/9000 a=dccp-service-code:SC=x52545056 a=setup:passive a=connection:new m=video 5004 DCCP/RTP/AVP 100 a=rtpmap:100 h261/9000 a=dccp-service-code:SC=x5254504f a=setup:passive a=connection:new 4.3. Category: IDENTICAL Attributes and their associated values (if any) that MUST be identical across all the media descriptions being multiplexed. Attributes such as rtcp-mux fall into this category. Since RTCP reporting is done per RTP session, RTCP Multiplexing MUST be enabled for both the audio and video "m=" lines if they are transported over a single 5-tuple. v=0 o=bob 2890844527 2890844527 IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com s= c=IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com t=0 0 m=audio 34567 RTP/AVP 97 a=rtcp-mux m=video 34567 RTP/AVP 31 a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000 a=rtcp-mux Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 8] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 4.4. Category: SUM Attributes can be set as they are normally used but software using them in the multiplexing scenario, MUST apply the sum of all the attributes being multiplexed instead of trying to use them independently. This is typically used for bandwidth or other rate limiting attributes to the underlying transport. The software parsing the SDP sample below, should use the aggregate Application Specific (AS) bandwidth value from the individual media descriptions to determine the AS value for the multiplexed session. Thus the calculated AS value would be 256+64 kilobits per second for the given example. v=0 o=test 2890844526 2890842807 IN IP4 126.16.64.4 c=IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com t=0 0 m=audio 49170 RTP/AVP 0 b=AS:64 m=video 51372 RTP/AVP 31 b=AS:256 4.5. Category: TRANSPORT Attributes that can be set normally for multiple items in a multiplexed group but the software MUST pick the one that's associated with the "m=" line whose information is used for setting up the underlying transport. In the example below, "a=crypto" attribute is defined for both the audio and the video "m=" lines. The video media line's a=crypto attribute is chosen since its mid value (bar) appears first in the a=group:BUNDLE line. This is due to BUNDLE grouping semantic [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] which mandates the values from "m=" line corresponding to the mid appearing first on the a=group:BUNDLE line to be considered for setting up the RTP Transport.

Category: INHERIT Attributes that encapsulate other SDP attributes or parameters. These attributes inherit their multiplexing characteristics from the attributes or parameters they encapsulate. Such attributes are defined in [RFC3407], [RFC5939] and [RFC6871] as part of a generic framework for indicating and negotiating transport, media and media format related capabilities in the SDP. The inheritance manifests itself when the encapsulated attribute or parameter is being leveraged. In the case of SDP Capability Negotiation [RFC5939] for example, this occurs when a capability (encapsulating attribute) is used as part of a configuration; the configuration inherits the multiplexing category of each of its constituent (encapsulated) attributes and parameters. This in turn MAY place constraints on what constitutes a valid configuration from a multiplexing point of view, e.g. because some attributes MUST be IDENTICAL (see Section 14 for further details).

Category: IDENTICAL-PER-PT Attributes that define the RTP payload configuration on per Payload Type basis and MUST have identical values across all the media descriptions for a given RTP Payload Type when repeated.

Category: SPECIAL Attributes where the text in the specification defining the attribute MUST be consulted for further handling when multiplexed. As an example, for the attribute extmap [RFC5285], the specification defining the extension needs to be referred to understand the multiplexing implications. 4.9. Category: TBD Attributes that have not been analyzed under the proposed multiplexing framework. For the purposes of implementations it is advised to consider "NOT RECOMMENDED" as the category when multiplexing these attributes. 5. Analysis of Existing Attributes This section analyzes attributes listed in [IANA], grouped under the IETF document that defines them. The "Level" column indicates whether the attribute is currently specified as: o S -- Session level Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 12] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 o M -- Media level o B -- Both o SR -- Source-level (for a single SSRC) [RFC5576] The "Mux Category" column identifies multiplexing category assigned per attribute and the "Notes" column captures additional informative details regarding the assigned category, wherever necessary. 5.1.

RFC4574 - SDP Label Attribute [RFC4574] defines a new Session Description Protocol (SDP) media- level attribute: "label". The "label" attribute carries a pointer to a media stream in the context of an arbitrary network application that uses SDP. The sender of the SDP document can attach the "label" attribute to a particular media stream or streams.

RFC4568 - SDP Security Descriptions [RFC4568] defines a Session Description Protocol (SDP) cryptographic attribute for unicast media streams.

RFC5762 - RTP over DCCP The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is a widely used transport for real-time multimedia on IP networks. The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is a transport protocol that provides desirable services for real-time applications. [RFC5762] specifies a mapping of RTP onto DCCP, along with associated signaling, such that real- time applications can make use of the services provided by DCCP. Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 17] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 +--------------------+---------------------+---------+--------------+ | Name | Notes | Current | Mux Category | +--------------------+---------------------+---------+--------------+ | dccp-service-code | If RFC6773 is not | M | NOT | | | being used in | | RECOMMENDED | | | addition to | | | | | RFC5762, the port | | | | | in the "m=" line is | | | | | a DCCP port.

Although doing so might conflict with the media type of the "m=" line. None of this is standardized yet and it wouldn't work as explained. Hence multiplexing MUST not be performed even in this alternate scenario. 5.9. RFC6773 - DCCP-UDP Encapsulation [RFC6773] document specifies an alternative encapsulation of the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), referred to as DCCP-UDP. This encapsulation allows DCCP to be carried through the current generation of Network Address Translation (NAT) middle boxes without modification of those middle boxes. +------------+-------------------------------+-------+--------------+ | Name | Notes | Level | Mux Category | +------------+-------------------------------+-------+--------------+ | dccp-port | Multiplexing MUST not be | M | NOT | | | performed due to potential | | RECOMMENDED | | | conflict between the port | | | | | used for DCCP | | | | | en/decapsulation and the RTP | | | | | | | | +------------+-------------------------------+-------+--------------+ RFC6773 Attribute Analysis Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 18] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 NOTE: RFC6773 is about tunneling DCCP in UDP, with the UDP port being the port of the DCCP en-/de-capsulation service. This encapsulation allows arbitrary DCCP packets to be encapsulated and the DCCP port chosen MAY conflict with the port chosen for the RTP traffic. For multiplexing several DCCP-in-UDP encapsulations on the same UDP port, with no RTP traffic on the same port implies collapsing several DCCP port spaces together. This may or may not work depending on the nature of DCCP encapsulation and ports choices thus rendering it to be very application dependent. 5.10. RFC5506 - Reduced-Size RTCP in RTP Profile [RFC5506] discusses benefits and issues that arise when allowing Real-time Transport Protocol (RTCP) packets to be transmitted with reduced size. +-------------+--------------------------------+-------+------------+ | Name | Notes | Level | Mux | | | | | Category | +-------------+--------------------------------+-------+------------+ | rtcp-rsize | Reduced size RTCP affects the | M | IDENTICAL | | | entire RTP session | | | | | | | | +-------------+--------------------------------+-------+------------+ RFC5506 Attribute Analysis 5.11. RFC6787 - Media Resource Control Protocol Version 2 The Media Resource Control Protocol Version 2 (MRCPv2) allows client hosts to control media service resources such as speech synthesizers, recognizers, verifiers, and identifiers residing in servers on the network. MRCPv2 is not a "stand-alone" protocol -- it relies on other protocols, such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), to coordinate MRCPv2 clients and servers and manage sessions between them, and the Session Description Protocol (SDP) to describe, discover, and exchange capabilities. It also depends on SIP and SDP to establish the media sessions and associated parameters between the media source or sink and the media server. Once this is done, the MRCPv2 exchange operates over the control session established above, allowing the client to control the media processing resources on the speech resource server. [RFC6787] defines attributes for this purpose.

RFC5245 - Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) [RFC5245] describes a protocol for Network Address Translator(NAT) traversal for UDP-based multimedia sessions established with the offer/answer model. This protocol is called Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE). ICE makes use of the Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) protocol and its extension,Traversal Using Relay NAT (TURN). ICE can be used by any protocol utilizing the offer/answer model, such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

The reason is that it requires the use of unique configuration numbers across the entire SDP (per [RFC6871]) as opposed to within a media description only (per [RFC5939]). As described in Section 14, the use of identical configuration numbers between multiplexed (bundled) media descriptions is the default way of indicating compatible configurations in a bundle. 5.34. RFC7006 - Miscellaneous Capabilities Negotiation SDP [RFC7006] extends the SDP capability negotiation framework to allow endpoints to negotiate three additional SDP capabilities. In particular, this memo provides a mechanism to negotiate bandwidth ("b=" line), connection data ("c=" line), and session or media titles ("i=" line for each session or media).

RFC6128 - RTCP Port for Multicast Sessions The Session Description Protocol (SDP) has an attribute that allows RTP applications to specify an address and a port associated with the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) traffic. In RTP-based source-specific multicast (SSM) sessions, the same attribute is used to designate the address and the RTCP port of the Feedback Target in the SDP description. However, the RTCP port associated with the SSM session itself cannot be specified by the same attribute to avoid ambiguity, and thus, is required to be derived from the "m=" line of the media description. Deriving the RTCP port from the "m=" line imposes an unnecessary restriction.

However, there are cases where it is not recommended to forward feedback reports, and this may allow feedback implosion.

Such attributes as of today, for example, are defined in [RFC3407], [RFC5939] and [RFC6871] as part of a generic framework for indicating and negotiating transport, media and media format related capabilities in the SDP. The behavior of such attributes under multiplexing is in turn defined by the multiplexing behavior of the attributes they encapsulate which Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 64] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 are made known once the Offer/Answer negotiation process is completed. 14.1. RFC3407 - cpar Attribute Analysis [RFC3407] capability parameter attribute (a=cpar) encapsulates b= (bandwidth) or an a= attribute. For bandwidth attribute encapsulation, the category SUM is inherited. For the case of a= attribute, the category corresponding to the SDP attribute being encapsulated is inherited. v=0 o=alice 2890844526 2890844527 IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com s= c=IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com t=0 0 m=video 3456 RTP/AVP 100 a=rtpmap:100 VP8/90000 a=sqn: 0 a=cdsc: 1 video RTP/AVP 100 a=cpar: a=rtcp-mux m=video 3456 RTP/AVP 101 a=rtpmap:101 VP8/90000 a=fmtp:100 max-fr=15;max-fs=1200 a=cdsc: 2 video RTP/AVP 101 a=cpar: a=rtcp-mux In the above example,the category IDENTICAL is inherited for the cpar encapsulated rtcp-mux attribute. 14.2. RFC5939 Analysis [RFC5939] defines a general SDP capability negotiation framework. It also specifies how to provide transport protocols and SDP attributes as capabilities and negotiate them using the framework. For this purpose, [RFC5939] defines the following o A set of capabilities for the session and its associated media stream components, supported by each side. The attribute ("a=acap") defines how to list an attribute name and its associated value (if any) as a capability. The attribute ("a=tcap") defines how to list transport protocols (e.g., "RTP/ AVP") as capabilities. o A set of potential configurations ("a=pcfg") provided by the offerer to indicate which combinations of those capabilities can be used for the session and its associated media stream Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 65] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 components. Potential configurations are not ready for use until fully negotiated. They provide an alternative that MAY be used, subject to SDP capability negotiation procedures. In particular the answerer MAY choose one of the potential configurations for use as part of the current Offer/Answer exchange. o An actual configuration ("a=acfg") for the session and its associated media stream components. The actual configuration identifies the potential configuration that was negotiated for use. Use of an actual configuration does not require any further negotiation. o A negotiation process that takes the current actual and the set of potential configurations (combinations of capabilities) as input and provides the negotiated actual configurations as output. In [RFC5939] the negotiation process is done independently for each media description. 14.2.1. Recommendation - Procedures for Potential Configuration Pairing This section provides recommendations for entities generating and processing SDP under the generic capability negotiation framework as defined in [RFC5939] under the context of media stream multiplexing. These recommendations are provided for the purposes of enabling the Offerer to make sure that the generated potential configurations between the multiplexed streams can (easily) be negotiated to be consistent between those streams. In particular, the procedures aim to simplify Answerer's procedure to choose potential configurations that are consistent across all the multiplexed media descriptions. A potential configuration selects a set of attributes and parameters that become part of the media description when negotiated. When multiplexing media descriptions with potential configurations specified, there MAY be a need for coordinating this selection between multiplexed media descriptions to ensure the right multiplexing behavior. Although it is possible to analyze the various potential configurations in multiplexed media descriptions to find combinations that satisfy such constraints, it can quickly become complicated to do so. The procedures defined in [RFC5939] state that each potential configuration in the SDP has a unique configuration number, however the scope of uniqueness is limited to each media description. To make it simple for the answerer to chose valid combinations of potential configurations across media descriptions in a given bundle Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 66] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 group, we provide a simple rule for constructing potential configurations o Let m-bundle be the set of media descriptions that form a given bundle . o Let m-bundle-pcfg be the set of media descriptions in m-bundle that include one or more potential configurations. o Each media description in m-bundle-pcfg MUST have at least one potential configuration with the same configuration number (e.g. "1"). o For each potential configuration with configuration number x in m- bundle-pcfg, the offerer MUST ensure that if the answerer chooses configuration number x in each of the media descriptions in m- bundle-pcfg, then the resulting SDP will have all multiplexing constraints satisfied for those media descriptions. o Since it is nearly impossible to define a generic mechanism for various capability extensions, this document does't provide procedures for dealing with the capability extension attributes. However, Section 14.3 provide analysis of media capability extension attributes as defined in [RFC6871]. The above allows the answerer to easily find multiplexing compatible combinations of potential configurations: The answerer simply choses a potential configuration (number) that is present in all of the media descriptions with potential configurations in the bundle. Note that it is still possible for the offerer to provide additional potential configurations with independent configuration numbers. The answerer will have to perform more complicated analysis to determine valid multiplexed combinations of those. 14.2.1.1. Example: Transport Capability Multiplexing Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 67] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 v=0 o=alice 2890844526 2890844527 IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com s= c=IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com t=0 0 a=tcap:1 RTP/SAVPF a=tcap:2 RTP/SAVP a=group:BUNDLE audio video m=audio a=mid:audio a=pcfg:1 t=1 a=pcfg:2 m=video a=mid:video a=pcfg:1 t=1 a=pcfg:2 t=2 In the example above, the potential configurations that offer transport protocol capability of RTP/SAVPF has the same configuration number "1" in both the audio and video media descriptions. 14.2.1.2. Example: Attribute Capability Multiplexing v=0 o=alice 2890844526 2890844527 IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com s= c=IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com t=0 0 a=acap:1 a=rtcp-mux a=acap:2 a=crypto:1 AES_CM_128_HMAC_SHA1_80 inline:EcGZiNWpFJhQXdspcl1ekcmVCNWpVLcfHAwJSoj|2^20|1:32 a=group:BUNDLE audio video m=audio 49172 RTP/AVP 99 a=mid:audio a=pcfg:1 a=1 a=pcfg:2 m=video 560024 RTP/AVP 100 a=mid:video a=pcfg:1 a=1 a=pcfg:2 a=2 In the example above, the potential configuration number "1" is repeated while referring to attribute capability a=rtcp-mux, since the behavior is IDENTICAL for the attribute a=rtcp-mux under multiplexing. Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 68] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 14.3. RFC6871 Analysis [RFC6871] extends capability negotiation framework described in [RFC5939] by defining media capabilities that can be used to indicate and negotiate media types and their associated format parameters. It also allows indication of latent configurations and session capabilities. 14.3.1. Recommendation: Dealing with Payload Type Numbers [RFC6871] defines a new payload type ("pt") parameter to be used with the potential, actual and latent configuration parameters. The parameter associates RTP payload type numbers with the referenced RTP-based media format capabilities ("a=rmcap") defined in [RFC6871] and is appropriate only when the transport protocol uses RTP. This means that the same payload type number can be assigned as part of potential or actual configurations in different media descriptions in a bundle. There are rules for the usage of identical Payload Type values across multiplexed "m=" lines as described in [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation], which MUST be followed here as well. As described in Section 14.2.1, the use of identical configuration numbers for compatible configurations in different media descriptions that are part of the bundle provides a way to ensure that the answerer can easily pick compatible configurations here as well. 14.3.1.1. Example: Attribute Capability Under Shared Payload Type The attributes (a=rmcap, a=mfcap) follow the above recommendations under multiplexing. Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 69] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 v=0 o=- 25678 753849 IN IP4 192.0.2.1 s= c=IN IP4 192.0.2.1 t=0 0 a=creq:med-v0 m=audio 54322 RTP/AVP 96 a=rtpmap:96 AMR-WB/16000/1 a=fmtp:96 mode-change-capability=1; max-red=220; mode-set=0,2,4,7 a=rmcap:1,3 audio AMR-WB/16000/1 a=rmcap:2 audio AMR/8000/1 a=mfcap:1,2 mode-change-capability=1 a=mfcap:3 mode-change-capability=2 a=pcfg:1 m=1 pt=1:96 a=pcfg:2 m=2 pt=2:97 a=pcfg:3 m=3 pt=3:98 m=audio 54322 RTP/AVP 96 a=rtpmap:96 AMR-WB/16000/1 a=fmtp:96 mode-change-capability=1; max-red=220; mode-set=0,2,4,7 a=rmcap:4 audio AMR/8000/1 a=rmcap:5 audio OPUS/48000/2 a=mfcap:5 minptime=40 a=mfcap:4 mode-change-capability=1 a=pcfg:1 m=4 pt=4:97 a=pcfg:4 m=5 pt=5:101 In the example above, the potential configuration number "1" is repeated when referring to media and media format capability used for the Payload Type 96. This implies that both the media capability 2 and 4 along with their media format capabilities MUST refer to the same codec configuration, as per the definition of IDENTICAL-PER-PT. 14.3.2. Recommendation: Dealing with Latent Configurations [RFC6871] adds the notion of a latent configurations, which provides configuration information that may be used to guide a subsequent offer/exchange, e.g. by adding another media stream or use alternative codec combinations not currently offered. Latent configurations have configuration numbers which cannot overlap with the potential configuration numbers [RFC6871]. Supported combinations of potential and latent configurations are indicated by use of the "a=sescap" attribute, however use of this attribute is NOT RECOMMENDED with multiplexed media, since it requires the use of unique configuration numbers across the SDP. Taken together, this means there is no well-defined way to indicate supported combinations Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 70] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 of latent configurations, or combinations of latent and potential configurations with multiplexed media. It is still allowed to use the latent configuration attribute, however the limitations above will apply. To determine valid combinations, actual negotiation will have to be attempted subsequently instead. 15. IANA Considerations [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace RFCXXXX with the RFC number of this document.] The IANA is requested to add a new column named "Mux Category" to several of the subregistries in the "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters" registry. Section 15.1 defines a new subregistry for identifying the initial registrations for various multiplexing categories applicable, as proposed in this document. The tables in Section 15.2 identify name of an entry in the existing subregistry and specify the value to put in the new "Mux Category" column of the associated IANA registry. Any entries in the existing tables that do not have a value for the "Mux Category" specified in this RFC will get a value of "TBD". Future specifications can change the "TBD" entries to the correct value. 15.1. New 'Multiplexing Categories' subregistry A new sub-registry needs to be defined called the "Multiplexing Categories", with the following registrations created initially: "NORMAL", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "IDENTICAL", "TRANSPORT", "SUM", "INHERIT", "IDENTICAL-PER-PT", "SPECIAL" and "TBD" as defined in this document. Initial value registration for "Multiplexing Categories". +-------------------------+-----------+ | Multiplexing Categories | Reference | +-------------------------+-----------+ | NORMAL | RFCXXXX | | NOT RECOMMENDED | RFCXXXX | | IDENTICAL | RFCXXXX | | TRANSPORT | RFCXXXX | | SUM | RFCXXXX | | INHERIT | RFCXXXX | | IDENTICAL-PER-PT | RFCXXXX | | SPECIAL | RFCXXXX | | TBD | RFCXXXX | +-------------------------+-----------+ Nandakumar Expires January 6, 2016 [Page 71] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2015 Further entries may be registered on a first-come first-serve basis. Each registration needs to indicate the multiplexing category value to be added to the "Multiplexing Categories" subregistry as defined in this section. Such a registration MUST also indicate the applicability of the newly defined multiplexing category value to various subregistries defined at "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters". The general registration procedures of [RFC4566] apply. 15.2. 'Mux Category' column for subregistries Each sub-section identifies a subregistry in the "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters" registry. The tables list the column that identifies the SDP attribute name/Token/Value from the corresponding subregistries and the values to be used for the new "Mux Category" column to be added. 15.2.1.
