Holmberg 3 Internet-Draft Ericsson 4 Updates: 3264 (if approved) H. Alvestrand 5 Intended status: Standards Track Google 6 Expires: December 14, 2015 C. Jennings 7 Cisco 8 June 12, 2015 10 Negotiating Media Multiplexing Using the Session Description Protocol 11 (SDP) 12 draft-ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation-20.txt 14 Abstract 16 This specification defines a new Session Description Protocol (SDP) 17 Grouping Framework extension, 'BUNDLE'. The extension can be used 18 with the SDP Offer/Answer mechanism to negotiate the usage of a 19 single address:port combination (BUNDLE address) for receiving media, 20 referred to as bundled media, associated with multiple SDP media 21 descriptions ("m=" lines). 23 To assist endpoints in negotiating the use of bundle this 24 specification defines a new SDP attribute, 'bundle-only', which can 25 be used to request that specific media is only used if bundled. 27 There are multiple ways to correlate the bundled RTP packets with the 28 appropriate media descriptions. This specification defines a new 29 Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) source description (SDES) item and 30 a new RTP header extension that provides an additional way to do this 31 correlation by using them to carry a value that associates the RTP/ 32 RTCP packets with a specific media description. 34 Status of This Memo 36 This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the 37 provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79. 39 Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering 40 Task Force (IETF).

Introduction 165 This specification defines a way to use a single address:port 166 combination (BUNDLE address) for receiving media associated with 167 multiple SDP media descriptions ("m=" lines). 169 This specification defines a new SDP Grouping Framework [RFC5888] 170 extension called 'BUNDLE'. The extension can be used with the 171 Session Description Protocol (SDP) Offer/Answer mechanism [RFC3264] 172 to negotiate the usage of a BUNDLE group. Within the BUNDLE group, a 173 BUNDLE address is used for receiving media associated with multiple 174 "m=" lines. This is referred to as bundled media. 176 The offerer and answerer [RFC3264] use the BUNDLE extension to 177 negotiate the BUNDLE addresses, one for the offerer (offerer BUNDLE 178 address) and one for the answerer (answerer BUNDLE address), to be 179 used for receiving the bundled media associated with a BUNDLE group. 180 Once the offerer and the answerer have negotiated a BUNDLE group, 181 they assign their respective BUNDLE address to each "m=" line in the 182 BUNDLE group. The BUNDLE addresses are used to receive all media 183 associated with the BUNDLE group. 185 The use of a BUNDLE group and a BUNDLE address also allows the usage 186 of a single set of Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) 187 [RFC5245] candidates for multiple "m=" lines. 189 This specification also defines a new SDP attribute, 'bundle-only', 190 which can be used to request that specific media is only used if kept 191 within a BUNDLE group. 193 As defined in RFC 4566 [RFC4566], the semantics of assigning the same 194 port value to multiple "m=" lines are undefined, and there is no 195 grouping defined by such means. Instead, an explicit grouping 196 mechanism needs to be used to express the intended semantics. This 197 specification provides such an extension. 199 This specification also updates sections 5.1, 8.1 and 8.2 of RFC 3264 200 [RFC3264]. The update allows an answerer to assign a non-zero port 201 value to an "m=" line in an SDP answer, even if the "m=" line in the 202 associated SDP offer contained a zero port value. 204 This specification also defines a new Real-time Transport Protocol 205 (RTP) [RFC3550] source description (SDES) item and a new RTP header 206 extension that can be used to carry a value that associates RTP/RTCP 207 packets with a specific media description. This can be used to 208 correlate a RTP packet with the correct media. 210 SDP bodies can contain multiple BUNDLE groups. A given BUNDLE 211 address MUST only be associated with a single BUNDLE group. The 212 procedures in this specification apply independently to a given 213 BUNDLE group. All RTP based media flows associated with a single 214 BUNDLE group belong to a single RTP session [RFC3550]. 216 The BUNDLE extension is backward compatible. Endpoints that do not 217 support the extension are expected to generate offers and answers 218 without an SDP 'group:BUNDLE' attribute, and are expected to assign a 219 unique address to each "m=" line within an offer and answer, 220 according to the procedures in [RFC4566] and [RFC3264] 222 2. Terminology 224 "m=" line: SDP bodies contain one or more media descriptions. Each 225 media description is identified by an SDP "m=" line. 227 5-tuple: A collection of the following values: source address, source 228 port, destination address, destination port, and transport-layer 229 protocol. 231 Unique address: An IP address and port combination that is assigned 232 to only one "m=" line in an offer or answer. 234 Shared address: An IP address and port combination that is assigned 235 to multiple "m=" lines within an offer or answer. 237 Offerer BUNDLE-tag: The first identification-tag in a given SDP 238 'group:BUNDLE' attribute identification-tag list in an offer. 240 Answerer BUNDLE-tag: The first identification-tag in a given SDP 241 'group:BUNDLE' attribute identification-tag list in an answer. 243 Offerer BUNDLE address: Within a given BUNDLE group, an IP address 244 and port combination used by an offerer to receive all media 245 associated with each "m=" line within the BUNDLE group. 247 Answerer BUNDLE address: Within a given BUNDLE group, an IP address 248 and port combination used by an answerer to receive all media 249 associated with each "m=" line within the BUNDLE group. 251 BUNDLE group: A set of "m=" lines, created using an SDP Offer/Answer 252 exchange, which uses the same BUNDLE address for receiving media. 254 Bundled "m=" line: An "m=" line, whose identification-tag is placed 255 in an SDP 'group:BUNDLE' attribute identification-tag list in an 256 offer or answer. 258 Bundle-only "m=" line: A bundled "m=" line with an associated SDP 259 'bundle-only' attribute. 261 Bundled media: All media associated with a given BUNDLE group. 263 Initial offer: The first offer, within an SDP session (e.g. a SIP 264 dialog when the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] is used 265 to carry SDP), in which the offerer indicates that it wants to create 266 a given BUNDLE group. 268 Subsequent offer: An offer which contains a BUNDLE group that has 269 been created as part of a previous offer/answer exchange. 271 Identification-tag: A unique token value that is used to identify an 272 "m=" line. The SDP 'mid' attribute [RFC5888], associated with an 273 "m=" line, carries an unique identification-tag. The session-level 274 SDP 'group' attribute [RFC5888] carries a list of identification- 275 tags, identifying the "m=" lines associated with that particular 276 'group' attribute. 278 3. Conventions 280 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", 281 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this 282 document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 283 [RFC2119]. 285 4. Applicability Statement 287 The mechanism in this specification only applies to the Session 288 Description Protocol (SDP) [RFC4566], when used together with the SDP 289 offer/answer mechanism [RFC3264]. Declarative usage of SDP is out of 290 scope of this document, and is thus undefined. 292 5. SDP Grouping Framework BUNDLE Extension 294 This section defines a new SDP Grouping Framework extension 295 [RFC5888], 'BUNDLE'. The BUNDLE extension can be used with the SDP 296 Offer/Answer mechanism to negotiate the usage of a single 297 address:port combination (BUNDLE address) for receiving bundled 298 media. 300 A single address:port combination is also used for sending bundled 301 media. The address:port combination used for sending bundled media 302 MAY be the same as the BUNDLE address, used to receive bundled media, 303 depending on whether symmetric RTP [RFC4961] is used. 305 All media associated with a BUNDLE group share a single 5-tuple, i.e. 306 in addition to using a single address:port combination all bundled 307 media MUST be transported using the same transport-layer protocol 308 (e.g. UDP or TCP). 310 The BUNDLE extension is indicated using an SDP 'group' attribute with 311 a "BUNDLE" semantics value [RFC5888]. An identification-tag is 312 assigned to each bundled "m=" line, and each identification-tag is 313 listed in the SDP 'group:BUNDLE' attribute identification-tag list. 314 Each "m=" line whose identification-tag is listed in the 315 identification-tag list is associated with a given BUNDLE group. 317 SDP bodies can contain multiple BUNDLE groups. Any given bundled 318 "m=" line MUST NOT be associated with more than one BUNDLE group. 320 Section 8 defines the detailed SDP Offer/Answer procedures for the 321 BUNDLE extension. 323 6. SDP 'bundle-only' Attribute 325 This section defines a new SDP media-level attribute [RFC4566], 326 'bundle-only'. 328 Name: bundle-only 330 Value: 332 Usage Level: media 334 Charset Dependent: no 336 Example: 338 a=bundle-only 340 In order to ensure that an answerer that does not support the BUNDLE 341 extension always rejects a bundled "m=" line, the offerer can assign 342 a zero port value to the "m=" line. According to [RFC4566] an 343 answerer will reject such "m=" line. By associating an SDP 'bundle- 344 only' attribute with such "m=" line, the offerer can request that the 345 answerer accepts the "m=" line if the answerer supports the Bundle 346 extension, and if the answerer keeps the "m=" line within the 347 associated BUNDLE group. 349 NOTE: Once the offerer BUNDLE address has been selected, the offerer 350 does not need to include the 'bundle-only' attribute in subsequent 351 offers. By assigning the offerer BUNDLE address to an "m=" line of a 352 subsequent offer, the offerer will ensure that the answerer will 353 either keep the "m=" line within the BUNDLE group, or the answerer 354 will have to reject the "m=" line. 356 The usage of the 'bundle-only' attribute is only defined for a 357 bundled "m=" line with a zero port value, within an offer. Other 358 usage is unspecified. 360 Section 8 defines the detailed SDP Offer/Answer procedures for the 361 'bundle-only' attribute. 363 7. SDP Information Considerations 365 7.1. General 367 This section describes restrictions associated with the usage of SDP 368 parameters within a BUNDLE group. It also describes, when parameter 369 and attribute values have been associated with each bundled "m=" 370 line, how to calculate a value for the whole BUNDLE group. 372 7.2. Connection Data (c=) 374 The "c=" line nettype value [RFC4566] associated with a bundled "m=" 375 line MUST be 'IN'. 377 The "c=" line addrtype value [RFC4566] associated with a bundled "m=" 378 line MUST be 'IP4' or 'IP6'. The same value MUST be associated with 379 each "m=" line. 381 NOTE: Extensions to this specification can specify usage of the 382 BUNDLE mechanism for other nettype and addrtype values than the ones 383 listed above. 385 7.3. Bandwidth (b=) 387 An offerer and answerer MUST use the rules and restrictions defined 388 in [I-D.mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes] for when associating the SDP 389 bandwidth (b=) line with bundled "m=" lines. 391 7.4. Attributes (a=) 393 An offerer and answerer MUST use the rules and restrictions defined 394 in [I-D.mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes] for when associating SDP 395 attributes with bundled "m=" lines. 397 8. SDP Offer/Answer Procedures 399 8.1. General 401 This section describes the SDP Offer/Answer [RFC3264] procedures for: 403 o Negotiating and creating of a BUNDLE group; 405 o Selecting the BUNDLE addresses (offerer BUNDLE address and 406 answerer BUNDLE address); 408 o Adding an "m=" line to a BUNDLE group; 410 o Moving an "m=" line out of a BUNDLE group; and 412 o Disabling an "m=" line within a BUNDLE group. 414 The generic rules and procedures defined in [RFC3264] and [RFC5888] 415 also apply to the BUNDLE extension. For example, if an offer is 416 rejected by the answerer, the previously negotiated SDP parameters 417 and characteristics (including those associated with a BUNDLE group) 418 apply. Hence, if an offerer generates an offer in which the offerer 419 wants to create a BUNDLE group, and the answerer rejects the offer, 420 the BUNDLE group is not created. 422 The procedures in this section are independent of the media type or 423 "m=" line proto value represented by a bundled "m=" line. Section 10 424 defines additional considerations for RTP based media. Section 6 425 defines additional considerations for the usage of the SDP 'bundle- 426 only' attribute. Section 11 defines additional considerations for 427 the usage of Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) [RFC5245] 428 mechanism . 430 SDP offers and answers can contain multiple BUNDLE groups. The 431 procedures in this section apply independently to a given BUNDLE 432 group. 434 8.2. Generating the Initial SDP Offer 436 8.2.1. General 438 When an offerer generates an initial offer, in order to create a 439 BUNDLE group, it MUST: 441 o Assign a unique address to each "m=" line within the offer, 442 following the procedures in [RFC3264], unless the media line is a 443 'bundle-only' "m=" line (see below); 445 o Add an SDP 'group:BUNDLE' attribute to the offer; 447 o Place the identification-tag of each bundled "m=" line in the SDP 448 'group:BUNDLE' attribute identification-tag list; and 450 o Indicate which unique address the offerer suggests as the offerer 451 BUNDLE address [Section 8.2.2]. 453 If the offerer wants to request that the answerer accepts a given 454 bundled "m=" line only if the answerer keeps the "m=" line within the 455 BUNDLE group, the offerer MUST: 457 o Associate an SDP 'bundle-only' attribute [Section 8.2.2] with the 458 "m=" line; and 460 o Assign a zero port value to the "m=" line. 462 NOTE: If the offerer assigns a zero port value to an "m=" line, but 463 does not also associate an SDP 'bundle-only' attribute with the "m=" 464 line, it is an indication that the offerer wants to disable the "m=" 465 line [Section 8.5.5]. 467 [Section 17.1] shows an example of an initial offer. 469 8.2.2. Suggesting the offerer BUNDLE address 471 In the offer, the address assigned to the "m=" line associated with 472 the offerer BUNDLE-tag indicates the address that the offerer 473 suggests as the offerer BUNDLE address. 475 8.3. Generating the SDP Answer 477 8.3.1. General 479 When an answerer generates an answer that contains a BUNDLE group, 480 the following general SDP grouping framework restrictions, defined in 481 [RFC5888], also apply to the BUNDLE group: 483 o The answerer MUST NOT include a BUNDLE group in the answer, unless 484 the offerer requested the BUNDLE group to be created in the 485 associated offer; and 487 o The answerer MUST NOT include an "m=" line within a BUNDLE group, 488 unless the offerer requested the "m=" line to be within that 489 BUNDLE group in the associated offer. 491 If the answer contains a BUNDLE group, the answerer MUST: 493 o Select an Offerer BUNDLE Address [Section 8.3.2]; and 495 o Select an Answerer BUNDLE Address [Section 8.3.3]; 497 The answerer is allowed to select a new Answerer BUNDLE address each 498 time it generates an answer to an offer. 500 If the answerer does not want to keep an "m=" line within a BUNDLE 501 group, it MUST: 503 o Move the "m=" line out of the BUNDLE group [Section 8.3.4]; or 505 o Reject the "m=" line [Section 8.3.5]; 507 If the answerer keeps a bundle-only "m=" line within the BUNDLE 508 group, it follows the procedures (assigns the answerer BUNDLE address 509 to the "m=" line etc) for any other "m=" line kept within the BUNDLE 510 group. 512 If the answerer does not want to keep a bundle-only "m=" line within 513 the BUNDLE group, it MUST reject the "m=" line [Section 8.3.5]. 515 The answerer MUST NOT associate an SDP 'bundle-only' attribute with 516 any "m=" line in an answer. 518 NOTE: If a bundled "m=" line in an offer contains a zero port value, 519 but the "m=" line does not contain an SDP 'bundle-only' attribute, it 520 is an indication that the offerer wants to disable the "m=" line 521 [Section 8.5.5]. 523 8.3.2. Answerer Selection of Offerer Bundle Address 525 In an offer, the address (unique or shared) assigned to the bundled 526 "m=" line associated with the offerer BUNDLE-tag indicates the 527 address that the offerer suggests as the offerer BUNDLE address 528 [Section 8.2.2]. The answerer MUST check whether that "m=" line 529 fulfills the following criteria: 531 o The answerer will not move the "m=" line out of the BUNDLE group 532 [Section 8.3.4]; 534 o The answerer will not reject the "m=" line [Section 8.3.5]; and 536 o The "m=" line does not contain a zero port value. 538 If all of the criteria above are fulfilled, the answerer MUST select 539 the address associated with the "m=" line as the offerer BUNDLE 540 address. In the answer, the answerer BUNDLE-tag represents the "m=" 541 line, and the address associated with the "m=" line in the offer 542 becomes the offerer BUNDLE address. 544 If one or more of the criteria are not fulfilled, the answerer MUST 545 select the next identification-tag in the identification-tag list, 546 and perform the same criteria check for the "m=" line associated with 547 that identification-tag. If there are no more identification-tags in 548 the identification-tag list, the answerer MUST NOT create the BUNDLE 549 group. In addition, unless the answerer rejects the whole offer, the 550 answerer MUST apply the answerer procedures for moving an "m=" line 551 out of a BUNDLE group [Section 8.3.4] to each bundled "m=" line in 552 the offer when creating the answer. 554 [Section 17.1] shows an example of an offerer BUNDLE address 555 selection. 557 8.3.3. Answerer Selection of Answerer BUNDLE Address 559 When the answerer selects a BUNDLE address for itself, referred to as 560 the answerer BUNDLE address, it MUST assign that address to each 561 bundled "m=" line within the created BUNDLE group in the answer. 563 The answerer MUST NOT assign the answerer BUNDLE address to an "m=" 564 line that is not within the BUNDLE group, or to an "m=" line that is 565 within another BUNDLE group. 567 [Section 17.1] shows an example of an answerer BUNDLE address 568 selection. 570 8.3.4. Moving A Media Description Out Of A BUNDLE Group 572 When an answerer wants to move an "m=" line out of a BUNDLE group, it 573 MUST first check the following criteria: 575 o In the associated offer, the "m=" line contains a shared address 576 (e.g. a previously selected offerer BUNDLE address); or 578 o In the associated offer, if an SDP 'bundle-only' attribute is 579 associated with the "m=" line, and if the "m=" line contains a 580 zero port value. 582 If either criteria above is fulfilled, the answerer MUST reject the 583 "m=" line [Section 8.3.5]. 585 Otherwise, if in the associated offer the "m=" line contains a unique 586 address, the answerer MUST assign a unique address to the "m=" line 587 in the answer (the answerer does not reject the "m=" line). 589 In addition, in either case above, the answerer MUST NOT place the 590 identification-tag, associated with the moved "m=" line, in the SDP 591 'group' attribute identification-tag list associated with the BUNDLE 592 group. 594 8.3.5. Rejecting A Media Description In A BUNDLE Group 596 When an answerer rejects an "m=" line, it MUST assign an address with 597 a zero port value to the "m=" line in the answer, according to the 598 procedures in [RFC4566]. 600 In addition, the answerer MUST NOT place the identification-tag, 601 associated with the rejected "m=" line, in the SDP 'group' attribute 602 identification-tag list associated with the BUNDLE group. 604 8.4. Offerer Processing of the SDP Answer 606 When an offerer receives an answer, if the answer contains a BUNDLE 607 group, the offerer MUST check that any bundled "m=" line in the 608 answer was indicated as bundled in the associated offer. If there is 609 no mismatch, the offerer MUST use the offerer BUNDLE address, 610 selected by the answerer [Section 8.3.2], as the address for each 611 bundled "m=" line. 613 NOTE: As the answerer might reject one or more bundled "m=" lines, or 614 move a bundled "m=" line out of a BUNDLE group, each bundled "m=" 615 line in the offer might not be indicated as bundled in the answer. 617 If the answer does not contain a BUNDLE group, the offerer MUST 618 process the answer as a normal answer. 620 8.5. Modifying the Session 622 8.5.1. General 624 When an offerer generates a subsequent offer, it MUST assign the 625 previously selected offerer BUNDLE address [Section 8.3.2], to each 626 bundled "m=" line (including any bundle-only "m=" line), except if: 628 o The offerer suggests a new offerer BUNDLE address [Section 8.5.2]; 630 o The offerer wants to add a bundled "m=" line to the BUNDLE group 631 [Section 8.5.3]; 633 o The offerer wants to move a bundled "m=" line out of the BUNDLE 634 group [Section 8.5.4]; or 636 o The offerer wants to disable the bundled "m=" line 637 [Section 8.5.5]. 639 In addition, the offerer MUST select an offerer BUNDLE-tag 640 [Section 8.2.2] associated with the previously selected offerer 641 BUNDLE address, unless the offerer suggests a new offerer BUNDLE 642 address. 644 8.5.2. Suggesting a new offerer BUNDLE address 646 When an offerer generates an offer, in which it suggests a new 647 offerer BUNDLE address [Section 8.2.2], the offerer MUST: 649 o Assign the address (shared address) to each "m=" line within the 650 BUNDLE group; or 652 o Assign the address (unique address) to one bundled "m=" line. 654 In addition, the offerer MUST indicate that the address is the new 655 suggested offerer BUNDLE address [Section 8.2.2]. 657 NOTE: Unless the offerer assigns the new suggested offerer BUNDLE 658 address to each bundled "m=" line, it can assign unique addresses to 659 any number of bundled "m=" lines (and the previously selected offerer 660 BUNDLE address to any remaining bundled "m=" line) if it wants to 661 suggest multiple alternatives for the new offerer BUNDLE address. 663 8.5.3. Adding a media description to a BUNDLE group 665 When an offerer generates an offer, in which it wants to add a 666 bundled "m=" line to a BUNDLE group, the offerer MUST: 668 o Assign a unique address to the "m=" line; 670 o Assign the previously selected offerer BUNDLE address to the "m=" 671 line; or 673 o If the offerer assigns a new (shared address) suggested offerer 674 BUNDLE address to each bundled "m=" line [Section 8.5.2], also 675 assign that address to the added "m=" line. 677 In addition, the offerer MUST extend the SDP 'group:BUNDLE' attribute 678 identification-tag list with the BUNDLE group [Section 8.2.2] by 679 adding the identification-tag associated with the added "m=" line to 680 the list. 682 NOTE: Assigning a unique address to the "m=" line allows the answerer 683 to move the "m=" line out of the BUNDLE group [Section 8.3.4], 684 without having to reject the "m=" line. 686 If the offerer assigns a unique address to the added "m=" line, and 687 if the offerer suggests that address as the new offerer BUNDLE 688 address [Section 8.5.2], the offerer BUNDLE-tag MUST represent the 689 added "m=" line [Section 8.2.2]. 691 If the offerer assigns a new suggested offerer BUNDLE address to each 692 bundled "m=" line [Section 8.5.2], including the added "m=" line, the 693 offerer BUNDLE-tag MAY represent the added "m=" line [Section 8.2.2]. 695 [Section 17.3] shows an example where an offerer sends an offer in 696 order to add a bundled "m=" line to a BUNDLE group. 698 8.5.4. Moving A Media Description Out Of A BUNDLE Group 700 When an offerer generates an offer, in which it wants to move a 701 bundled "m=" line out of a BUNDLE group it was added to in a previous 702 offer/answer transaction, the offerer: 704 o MUST assign a unique address to the "m=" line; and 705 o MUST NOT place the identification-tag associated with the "m=" 706 line in the SDP 'group:BUNDLE' attribute identification-tag list 707 associated with the BUNDLE group. 709 NOTE: If the removed "m=" line is associated with the previously 710 selected BUNDLE-tag, the offerer needs to suggest a new BUNDLE-tag 711 [Section 8.2.2]. 713 NOTE: If an "m=" line, when being moved out of a BUNDLE group, is 714 added to another BUNDLE group, the offerer applies the procedures in 715 [Section 8.5.3] to the "m=" line. 717 [Section 17.4] shows an example of an offer for moving an "m=" line 718 out of a BUNDLE group. 720 8.5.5. Disabling A Media Description In A BUNDLE Group 722 When an offerer generates an offer, in which it wants to disable a 723 bundled "m=" line (added to the BUNDLE group in a previous offer/ 724 answer transaction), the offerer: 726 o MUST assign an address with a zero port value to the "m=" line, 727 following the procedures in [RFC4566]; and 729 o MUST NOT place the identification-tag associated with the "m=" 730 line in the SDP 'group:BUNDLE' attribute identification-tag list 731 associated with the BUNDLE group. 733 [Section 17.5] shows an example of an offer for disabling an "m=" 734 line within a BUNDLE group. 736 9. Protocol Identification 738 9.1. General 740 Each "m=" line within a BUNDLE group MUST use the same transport- 741 layer protocol. If bundled "m=" lines use different protocols on top 742 of the transport-layer protocol, there MUST exist a publicly 743 available specification which describes a mechanism, for this 744 particular protocol combination, how to associate a received packet 745 with the correct protocol. 747 In addition, if a received packet can be associated with more than 748 one bundled "m=" line, there MUST exist a publicly available 749 specification which describes a mechanism for associating the 750 received packet with the correct "m=" line. 752 9.2. STUN, DTLS, SRTP 754 Section 5.1.2 of [RFC5764] describes a mechanism to identify the 755 protocol of a received packet among the STUN, Datagram Transport 756 Layer Security (DTLS) and SRTP protocols (in any combination). If an 757 offer or answer includes bundled "m=" lines that represent these 758 protocols, the offerer or answerer MUST support the mechanism 759 described in [RFC5764], and no explicit negotiation is required in 760 order to indicate support and usage of the mechanism. 762 [RFC5764] does not describe how to identify different protocols 763 transported on DTLS, only how to identify the DTLS protocol itself. 764 If multiple protocols are transported on DTLS, there MUST exist a 765 specification describing a mechanism for identifying each individual 766 protocol. In addition, if a received DTLS packet can be associated 767 with more than one "m=" line, there MUST exist a specification which 768 describes a mechanism for associating the received DTLS packet with 769 the correct "m=" line. 771 [Section 10.2] describes how to associate a received (S)RTP packet 772 with the correct "m=" line. 774 10. RTP Considerations 776 10.1. Single RTP Session 778 10.1.1. General 780 All RTP-based media within a single BUNDLE group belong to a single 781 RTP session [RFC3550]. Disjoint BUNDLE groups will form multiple RTP 782 sessions, one per BUNDLE group. 784 Since a single RTP session is used for each bundle group, all "m=" 785 lines representing RTP-based media in a bundle group will share a 786 single SSRC numbering space [RFC3550]. 788 The following rules and restrictions apply for a single RTP session: 790 o A specific payload type value can be used in multiple bundled "m=" 791 lines if each codec associated with the payload type number shares 792 an identical codec configuration [Section 10.1.2]. 794 o The proto value in each bundled RTP-based "m=" line MUST be 795 identical (e.g. RTP/AVPF). 797 o The RTP MID header extension MUST be enabled, by associating an 798 SDP 'extmap' attribute [RFC5285], with a 'urn:ietf:params:rtp- 799 hdrext:sdes:mid' URI value, with each bundled RTP-based "m=" line 800 in every offer and answer. 802 o A given SSRC MUST NOT transmit RTP packets using payload types 803 that originate from different bundled "m=" lines. 805 NOTE: The last bullet above is to avoid sending multiple media types 806 from the same SSRC. If transmission of multiple media types are done 807 with time overlap, RTP and RTCP fail to function. Even if done in 808 proper sequence this causes RTP Timestamp rate switching issues 809 [RFC7160]. However, once an SSRC has left the RTP session (by 810 sending an RTCP BYE packet), that SSRC value can later be reused by 811 another source(possible associated with a different bundled "m=" 812 line. 814 10.1.2. Payload Type (PT) Value Reuse 816 Multiple bundled "m=" lines might represent RTP based media. As all 817 RTP based media associated with a BUNDLE group belong to the same RTP 818 session, in order for a given payload type value to be used inside 819 more than one bundled "m=" line, all codecs associated with the 820 payload type number MUST share an identical codec configuration. 821 This means that the codecs MUST share the same media type, encoding 822 name, clock rate and any parameter that can affect the codec 823 configuration and packetization. [I-D.mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes] 824 lists SDP attributes, whose attribute values must be identical for 825 all codecs that use the same payload type value. 827 10.2. Associating RTP/RTCP Packets With Correct SDP Media Description 829 There are multiple mechanisms that can be used by an endpoint in 830 order to associate received RTP/RTCP packets with a bundled "m=" 831 line. Such mechanisms include using the payload type value carried 832 inside the RTP packets, the SSRC values carried inside the RTP 833 packets, and other "m=" line specific information carried inside the 834 RTP packets. 836 As all RTP/RTCP packets associated with a BUNDLE group are received 837 (and sent) using single address:port combinations, the local 838 address:port combination cannot be used to associate received RTP 839 packets with the correct "m=" line. 841 As described in [Section 10.1.2], the same payload type value might 842 be used inside RTP packets described by multiple "m=" lines. In such 843 cases, the payload type value cannot be used to associate received 844 RTP packets with the correct "m=" line. 846 An offerer and answerer can inform each other which SSRC values they 847 will use or RTP and RTCP by using the SDP 'ssrc' attribute [RFC5576]. 848 To allow for proper association with this mechanism, the 'ssrc' 849 attribute needs to be associated with each "m=" line that shares a 850 payload type with any other "m=" line in the same bundle. As the 851 SSRC values will be carried inside the RTP/RTCP packets, the offerer 852 and answerer can then use that information to associate received RTP 853 packets with the correct "m=" line. However, an offerer will not 854 know which SSRC values the answerer will use until it has received 855 the answer providing that information. Due to this, before the 856 offerer has received the answer, the offerer will not be able to 857 associate received RTP/RTCP packets with the correct "m=" line using 858 the SSRC values. 860 In order for an offerer and answerer to always be able to associate 861 received RTP and RTCP packets with the correct "m=" line, an offerer 862 and answerer using the BUNDLE extension MUST support the mechanism 863 defined in Section 14, where the remote endpoint inserts the 864 identification-tag associated with an "m=" line in RTP and RTCP 865 packets associated with that "m=" line. 867 10.3. RTP/RTCP Multiplexing 869 10.3.1. General 871 When a BUNDLE group, which contains RTP based media, is created, the 872 offerer and answerer MUST negotiate whether to enable RTP/RTCP 873 multiplexing for the RTP based media associated with the BUNDLE group 874 [RFC5761]. 876 If RTP/RTCP multiplexing is enabled, the same address:port 877 combination will be used for receiving (and sending) all RTP packets 878 and the RTCP packets associated with the BUNDLE group. Each endpoint 879 will send the packets towards the BUNDLE address of the other 880 endpoint. 882 If RTP/RTCP multiplexing is not enabled, separate address:port 883 combinations will be used for receiving (and sending) the RTP packets 884 and the RTCP packets. If the remote endpoint has associated an SDP 885 'rtcp' attribute with the "m=" line associated with the BUNDLE-tag, 886 the attribute value will be used for sending all RTCP packets 887 associated with the BUNDLE group towards that endpoint. 889 10.3.2. SDP Offer/Answer Procedures 890 10.3.2.1. General 892 This section describes how an offerer and answerer can use the SDP 893 'rtcp-mux' attribute [RFC5761] and the SDP 'rtcp' attribute [RFC3605] 894 to negotiate usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing for RTP based media 895 associated with a BUNDLE group. 897 10.3.2.2. Generating the Initial SDP Offer 899 When an offerer generates an initial offer, if the offerer wants to 900 negotiate usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing within a BUNDLE group, the 901 offerer MUST associate an SDP 'rtcp-mux' attribute [RFC5761] with 902 each bundled RTP-based "m=" line (including any bundle-only "m=" 903 line) in the offer. 905 If the offerer does not want to negotiate usage of RTP/RTCP 906 multiplexing, it MUST NOT associate an SDP 'rtcp-mux' attribute with 907 any bundled "m=" line in the offer. 909 In addition, the offerer can associate an SDP 'rtcp' attribute 910 [RFC3605] with one or more bundled RTP-based "m=" lines (including 911 any bundle-only "m=" line) in the offer, in order to provide a port 912 for receiving RTCP packets (if the answerer does not accept usage of 913 RTP/RTCP multiplexing, or if the offerer does not want to negotiate 914 usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing). 916 In the initial offer, the IP address and port combination for RTCP 917 MUST be unique in each bundled RTP-based "m=" line, similar to RTP. 919 NOTE: In case the offer wants to receive RTCP packets on the next 920 higher port value, the SDP 'rtcp' attribute is not needed. 922 10.3.2.3. Generating the SDP Answer 924 When an answerer generates an answer, if the offerer indicated 925 support of RTP/RTCP multiplexing [RFC5761] within a BUNDLE group in 926 the associated offer, the answerer MUST either accept or reject the 927 usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing for the whole BUNDLE group in the 928 answer. 930 If the answerer accepts the usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing within the 931 BUNDLE group, it MUST associate an SDP 'rtcp-mux' attribute with each 932 bundled RTP-based "m=" line in the answer. The answerer MUST NOT 933 associate an SDP 'rtcp' attribute with any bundled "m=" line in the 934 answer. The answerer will use the port value of the selected offerer 935 BUNDLE address for sending RTP and RTCP packets associated with each 936 RTP-based bundled "m=" line towards the offerer. 938 If the answerer does not accept the usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing 939 within the BUNDLE group, it MUST NOT associate an SDP 'rtcp-mux' 940 attribute with any bundled "m=" line in the answer. The answerer 941 will use the RTP and RTCP port values associated with the selected 942 offerer BUNDLE address for sending RTP and RTCP packets associated 943 with each RTP-based bundled "m=" line towards the offerer. 945 In addition, if the answerer rejects the usage of RTP/RTCP 946 multiplexing within the BUNDLE group, it MAY associate an SDP 'rtcp' 947 attribute, with identical attribute values, with each RTP-based 948 bundled "m=" line in the answer, in order to provide a port value for 949 receiving RTCP packets from the offerer. 951 NOTE: In case the answerer wants to receive RTCP packets on the next 952 higher port value, the SDP 'rtcp' attribute is not needed. 954 If the usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing within a BUNDLE group has been 955 negotiated in a previous offer/answer transaction, and if the offerer 956 indicates that it wants to continue using RTP/RTCP multiplexing in a 957 subsequent offer, the answerer MUST associate an SDP 'rtcp-mux' 958 attribute with each bundled "m=" line in the answer. I.e. the 959 answerer MUST NOT disable the usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing. 961 If the usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing within a BUNDLE group has not 962 been negotiated in a previous offer/answer transaction, and if the 963 offerer indicates that it wants to use RTP/RTCP multiplexing in a 964 subsequent offer, the answerer either accepts or rejects the usage, 965 using the procedures above. 967 10.3.2.4. Offerer Processing of the SDP Answer 969 When an offerer receives an answer, if the answerer has accepted the 970 usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing (see Section 10.3.2.3), the answerer 971 follows the procedures for RTP/RTCP multiplexing defined in 972 [RFC5761]. The offerer will use the port value associated with the 973 answerer BUNDLE address for sending RTP and RTCP packets associated 974 with each RTP-based bundled "m=" line towards the answerer. 976 If the answerer did not accept the usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing 977 (see Section 10.3.2.3), the offerer will use separate address:port 978 combinations for sending RTP and RTCP packets towards the answerer. 979 If the answerer associated an SDP 'rtcp' attribute with the "m=" line 980 representing the answerer BUNDLE address, the offerer will use the 981 attribute port value for sending RTCP packets associated with each 982 bundled RTP-based "m=" line towards the answerer. Otherwise the 983 offerer will use the next higher port value associated with the 984 answerer BUNDLE address for sending RTCP packets towards the 985 answerer. 987 10.3.2.5. Modifying the Session 989 When an offerer generates a subsequent offer, if it wants to 990 negotiate the usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing within a BUNDLE group, 991 or if it wants to continue the use of previously negotiated RTP/RTCP 992 multiplexing, it MUST associate an SDP 'rtcp-mux' attribute with each 993 RTP-based bundled "m=" line (including any bundled "m=" line that the 994 offerer wants to add to the BUNDLE group), unless the offerer wants 995 to disable or remove the "m=" line from the BUNDLE group. 997 If the offerer does not want to negotiate the usage of RTP/RTCP 998 multiplexing within the BUNDLE group, or if it wants to disable 999 previously negotiated usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing, it MUST NOT 1000 associate an SDP 'rtcp-mux' and attribute with any bundled "m=" line 1001 in the subsequent offer. 1003 In addition, if the offerer does not indicate support of RTP/RTCP 1004 multiplexing within the subsequent offer, it MAY associate an SDP 1005 'rtcp' attribute, with identical attribute values, with each RTP- 1006 based bundled "m=" line (including any bundled "m=" line that the 1007 offerer wants to add to the BUNDLE group), in order to provide a port 1008 for receiving RTCP packets. 1010 NOTE: It is RECOMMENDED that, once the usage of RTP/RTCP multiplexing 1011 has been negotiated within a BUNDLE group, that the usage is not 1012 disabled. Disabling RTP/RTCP multiplexing means that the offerer and 1013 answerer need to reserve new ports, to be used for sending and 1014 receiving RTCP packets. Similar, if the usage of a specific RTCP 1015 port has been negotiated within a BUNDLE group, it is RECOMMENDED 1016 that the port value is not modified. 1018 11. ICE Considerations 1020 11.1. General 1022 This section describes how to use the BUNDLE grouping extension 1023 together with the Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) 1024 mechanism [RFC5245]. 1026 The procedures defined in [RFC5245] also apply to usage of ICE with 1027 BUNDLE, with the following exception: 1029 o When BUNDLE addresses for a BUNDLE group have been selected for 1030 both endpoints, ICE connectivity checks and keep-alives only need 1031 to be performed for the whole BUNDLE group, instead of per bundled 1032 "m=" line. 1034 Support and usage of ICE mechanism together with the BUNDLE extension 1035 is OPTIONAL. 1037 11.2. SDP Offer/Answer Procedures 1039 11.2.1. General 1041 When an offerer assigns a unique address to a bundled "m=" line 1042 (excluding any bundle-only "m=" line), it MUST also associate unique 1043 ICE candidates [RFC5245] to the "m=" line. 1045 An offerer MUST NOT assign ICE candidates to a bundle-only "m=" line 1046 with a zero port value. 1048 NOTE: The bundle-only "m=" line, if accepted by the answerer, will 1049 inherit the candidates associated with the selected offerer BUNDLE 1050 address. An answerer that does not support BUNDLE would not accept a 1051 bundle-only "m=" line. 1053 When an offerer or answerer assigns a shared address (i.e. a 1054 previously selected BUNDLE address) to one or more bundled "m=" 1055 lines, it MUST associate identical ICE candidates (referred to as 1056 shared ICE candidates) to each of those "m=" lines. 1058 11.2.2. Generating the Initial SDP Offer 1060 When an offerer generates an initial offer, it assigns unique or 1061 shared ICE candidates to the bundled "m=" lines, according to 1062 Section 11.1. 1064 11.2.3. Generating the SDP Answer 1066 When an answerer generates an answer that contains a BUNDLE group, 1067 the answerer MUST assign shared ICE candidates to each bundled "m=" 1068 line (including "m=" lines that were indicated as bundle-only in the 1069 associated offer) in the answer. 1071 11.2.4. Offerer Processing of the SDP Answer 1073 When an offerer receives an answer, if the answerer supports and uses 1074 the ICE mechanism and the BUNDLE extension, the offerer MUST assign 1075 the same ICE candidates, associated with the "m=" line representing 1076 the offerer BUNDLE address (selected by the answerer), to each 1077 bundled "m=" line. 1079 11.2.5. Modifying the Session 1081 When an offerer generates a subsequent offer, it assigns unique or 1082 shared ICE candidates to the bundled "m=" lines, according to 1083 (Section 11.1). 1085 12. DTLS Considerations 1087 One or more media streams within a BUNDLE group might use the 1088 Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol [RFC6347] in order 1089 to encrypt the data, or to negotiate encryption keys if another 1090 encryption mechanism is used to encrypt media. 1092 When DTLS is used within a BUNDLE group, the following rules apply: 1094 o There can only be one DTLS association [RFC6347] associated with 1095 the BUNDLE group; 1097 o Each usage of the DTLS association within the BUNDLE group MUST 1098 use the same mechanism for determining which endpoints (the 1099 offerer or answerer) becomes DTLS client and DTLS server; and 1101 o If the DTLS client supports DTLS-SRTP [RFC5764] it MUST include 1102 the 'use_srtp' extension [RFC5764] in the DTLS ClientHello message 1103 [RFC5764], The client MUST include the extension even if the usage 1104 of DTLS-SRTP is not negotiated as part of the session. 1106 NOTE: The inclusion of the 'use_srtp' extension during the initial 1107 DTLS handshake ensures that a DTLS renegotiation will not be required 1108 in order to include the extension, in case DTLS-SRTP encrypted media 1109 is added to the BUNDLE group later during the session. 1111 13. Update to RFC 3264 1113 13.1. General 1115 This section replaces the text of the following sections of RFC 3264: 1117 o Section 5.1 (Unicast Streams). 1119 o Section 8.2 (Removing a Media Stream). 1121 o Section 8.4 (Putting a Unicast Media Stream on Hold). 1123 13.2. Original text of section 5.1 (2nd paragraph) of RFC 3264 1125 For recvonly and sendrecv streams, the port number and address in the 1126 offer indicate where the offerer would like to receive the media 1127 stream. For sendonly RTP streams, the address and port number 1128 indirectly indicate where the offerer wants to receive RTCP reports. 1129 Unless there is an explicit indication otherwise, reports are sent to 1130 the port number one higher than the number indicated. The IP address 1131 and port present in the offer indicate nothing about the source IP 1132 address and source port of RTP and RTCP packets that will be sent by 1133 the offerer. A port number of zero in the offer indicates that the 1134 stream is offered but MUST NOT be used. This has no useful semantics 1135 in an initial offer, but is allowed for reasons of completeness, 1136 since the answer can contain a zero port indicating a rejected stream 1137 (Section 6). Furthermore, existing streams can be terminated by 1138 setting the port to zero (Section 8). In general, a port number of 1139 zero indicates that the media stream is not wanted. 1141 13.3. New text replacing section 5.1 (2nd paragraph) of RFC 3264 1143 For recvonly and sendrecv streams, the port number and address in the 1144 offer indicate where the offerer would like to receive the media 1145 stream. For sendonly RTP streams, the address and port number 1146 indirectly indicate where the offerer wants to receive RTCP reports. 1147 Unless there is an explicit indication otherwise, reports are sent to 1148 the port number one higher than the number indicated. The IP address 1149 and port present in the offer indicate nothing about the source IP 1150 address and source port of RTP and RTCP packets that will be sent by 1151 the offerer. A port number of zero in the offer by default indicates 1152 that the stream is offered but MUST NOT be used, but an extension 1153 mechanism might specify different semantics for the usage of a zero 1154 port value. Furthermore, existing streams can be terminated by 1155 setting the port to zero (Section 8). In general, a port number of 1156 zero by default indicates that the media stream is not wanted. 1158 13.4. Original text of section 8.2 (2nd paragraph) of RFC 3264 1160 A stream that is offered with a port of zero MUST be marked with port 1161 zero in the answer. Like the offer, the answer MAY omit all 1162 attributes present previously, and MAY list just a single media 1163 format from amongst those in the offer. 1165 13.5. New text replacing section 8.2 (2nd paragraph) of RFC 3264 1167 A stream that is offered with a port of zero MUST by default be 1168 marked with port zero in the answer, unless an extension mechanism, 1169 which specifies semantics for the usage of a non-zero port value, is 1170 used. If the stream is marked with port zero in the answer, the 1171 answer MAY omit all attributes present previously, and MAY list just 1172 a single media format from amongst those in the offer." 1174 13.6. Original text of section 8.4 (6th paragraph) of RFC 3264 1176 RFC 2543 [10] specified that placing a user on hold was accomplished 1177 by setting the connection address to 0.0.0.0. Its usage for putting 1178 a call on hold is no longer recommended, since it doesn't allow for 1179 RTCP to be used with held streams, doesn't work with IPv6, and breaks 1180 with connection oriented media. However, it can be useful in an 1181 initial offer when the offerer knows it wants to use a particular set 1182 of media streams and formats, but doesn't know the addresses and 1183 ports at the time of the offer. Of course, when used, the port 1184 number MUST NOT be zero, which would specify that the stream has been 1185 disabled. An agent MUST be capable of receiving SDP with a 1186 connection address of 0.0.0.0, in which case it means that neither 1187 RTP nor RTCP should be sent to the peer. 1189 13.7. New text replacing section 8.4 (6th paragraph) of RFC 3264 1191 RFC 2543 [10] specified that placing a user on hold was accomplished 1192 by setting the connection address to 0.0.0.0. Its usage for putting 1193 a call on hold is no longer recommended, since it doesn't allow for 1194 RTCP to be used with held streams, doesn't work with IPv6, and breaks 1195 with connection oriented media. However, it can be useful in an 1196 initial offer when the offerer knows it wants to use a particular set 1197 of media streams and formats, but doesn't know the addresses and 1198 ports at the time of the offer. Of course, when used, the port 1199 number MUST NOT be zero, if it would specify that the stream has been 1200 disabled. However, an extension mechanism might specify different 1201 semantics of the zero port number usage. An agent MUST be capable of 1202 receiving SDP with a connection address of 0.0.0.0, in which case it 1203 means that neither RTP nor RTCP should be sent to the peer. 1205 14. RTP/RTCP extensions for identification-tag transport 1207 14.1. General 1209 SDP Offerers and Answerers [RFC3264] can associate identification- 1210 tags with "m=" lines within SDP Offers and Answers, using the 1211 procedures in [RFC5888]. Each identification-tag uniquely represents 1212 an "m=" line. 1214 This section defines a new RTCP SDES item [RFC3550], 'MID', which is 1215 used to carry identification-tags within RTCP SDES packets. This 1216 section also defines a new RTP header extension [RFC5285], which is 1217 used to carry identification-tags in RTP packets. 1219 The SDES item and RTP header extension make it possible for a 1220 receiver to associate received RTCP- and RTP packets with a specific 1221 "m=" line, to which the receiver has assigned an identification-tag, 1222 even if those "m=" lines are part of the same RTP session. A media 1223 recipient informs the media sender about the identification-tag 1224 associated with an "m=" line through the use of an 'mid' attribute 1225 [RFC5888]. The media sender then inserts the identification-tag in 1226 RTCP and RTP packets sent to the media recipient. 1228 NOTE: This text above defines how identification-tags are carried in 1229 SDP Offers and Answers. The usage of other signalling protocols for 1230 carrying identification-tags is not prevented, but the usage of such 1231 protocols is outside the scope of this document. 1233 [RFC3550] defines general procedures regarding the RTCP transmission 1234 interval. The RTCP MID SDES item SHOULD be sent in the first few 1235 RTCP packets sent on joining the session, and SHOULD be sent 1236 regularly thereafter. The exact number of RTCP packets in which this 1237 SDES item is sent is intentionally not specified here, as it will 1238 depend on the expected packet loss rate, the RTCP reporting interval, 1239 and the allowable overhead. 1241 The RTP MID header extension SHOULD be included in some RTP packets 1242 at the start of the session and whenever the SSRC changes. It might 1243 also be useful to include the header extension in RTP packets that 1244 comprise random access points in the media (e.g., with video 1245 I-frames). The exact number of RTP packets in which this header 1246 extension is sent is intentionally not specified here, as it will 1247 depend on expected packet loss rate and loss patterns, the overhead 1248 the application can tolerate, and the importance of immediate receipt 1249 of the identification-tag. 1251 For robustness purpose, endpoints need to be prepared for situations 1252 where the reception of the identification-tag is delayed, and SHOULD 1253 NOT terminate sessions in such cases, as the identification-tag is 1254 likely to arrive soon. 1256 14.2. RTCP MID SDES Item 1258 0 1 2 3 1259 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 1260 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 1261 | MID=TBD | length | identification-tag ... 1262 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 1264 The identification-tag payload is UTF-8 encoded, as in SDP. 1266 The identification-tag is not zero terminated. 1268 [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace TBD with the assigned SDES 1269 identifier value.] 1271 14.3. RTP MID Header Extension 1273 The payload, containing the identification-tag, of the RTP MID header 1274 extension element can be encoded using either the one-byte or two- 1275 byte header [RFC5285]. The identification-tag payload is UTF-8 1276 encoded, as in SDP. 1278 The identification-tag is not zero terminated. Note, that set of 1279 header extensions included in the packet needs to be padded to the 1280 next 32-bit boundary using zero bytes [RFC5285]. 1282 As the identification-tag is included in either an RTCP SDES item or 1283 an RTP header extension, or both, there should be some consideration 1284 about the packet expansion caused by the identification-tag. To 1285 avoid Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) issues for the RTP packets, the 1286 header extension's size needs to be taken into account when the 1287 encoding media. 1289 It is recommended that the identification-tag is kept short. Due to 1290 the properties of the RTP header extension mechanism, when using the 1291 one-byte header, a tag that is 1-3 bytes will result in that a 1292 minimal number of 32-bit words are used for the RTP header extension, 1293 in case no other header extensions are included at the same time. 1294 Note, do take into account that some single characters when UTF-8 1295 encoded will result in multiple octets. 1297 15. IANA Considerations 1299 15.1. New SDES item 1301 [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace RFCXXXX with the RFC number of this 1302 document.] 1304 [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace TBD with the assigned SDES 1305 identifier value.] 1307 This document adds the MID SDES item to the IANA "RTCP SDES item 1308 types" registry as follows: 1310 Value: TBD 1311 Abbrev.: MID 1312 Name: Media Identification 1313 Reference: RFCXXXX 1315 15.2. New RTP Header Extension URI 1317 [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace RFCXXXX with the RFC number of this 1318 document.] 1320 This document defines a new extension URI in the RTP Compact Header 1321 Extensions subregistry of the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) 1322 Parameters registry, according to the following data: 1324 Extension URI: urn:ietf:params:rtp-hdrext:sdes:mid 1325 Description: Media identification 1326 Contact: christer.holmberg@ericsson.com 1327 Reference: RFCXXXX 1329 15.3. New SDP Attribute 1331 [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace RFCXXXX with the RFC number of this 1332 document.] 1334 This document defines a new SDP media-level attribute, 'bundle-only', 1335 according to the following data: 1337 Attribute name: bundle-only 1338 Type of attribute: media 1339 Subject to charset: No 1340 Purpose: Request a media description to be accepted 1341 in the answer only if kept within a BUNDLE 1342 group by the answerer. 1343 Appropriate values: N/A 1344 Contact name: Christer Holmberg 1345 Contact e-mail: christer.holmberg@ericsson.com 1346 Reference: RFCXXXX 1348 15.4. New SDP Group Semantics 1350 [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace RFCXXXX with the RFC number of this 1351 document.] 1352 This document registers the following semantics with IANA in the 1353 "Semantics for the "group" SDP Attribute" subregistry (under the 1354 "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters" registry: 1356 Semantics Token Reference 1357 ------------------------------------- ------ --------- 1358 Media bundling BUNDLE [RFCXXXX] 1360 16. Security Considerations 1362 The security considerations defined in [RFC3264] and [RFC5888] apply 1363 to the BUNDLE extension. Bundle does not change which information 1364 flows over the network but only changes which ports that information 1365 is flowing on and thus has very little impact on the security of the 1366 RTP sessions. 1368 When the BUNDLE extension is used, a single set of security 1369 credentials might be used for all media streams associated with a 1370 BUNDLE group. 1372 When the BUNDLE extension is used, the number of SSRC values within a 1373 single RTP session increases, which increases the risk of SSRC 1374 collision. [RFC4568] describes how SSRC collision may weaken SRTP 1375 and SRTCP encryption in certain situations. 1377 17. Examples 1379 17.1.

Acknowledgements 1676 The usage of the SDP grouping extension for negotiating bundled media 1677 is based on a similar alternatives proposed by Harald Alvestrand and 1678 Cullen Jennings. The BUNDLE extension described in this document is 1679 based on the different alternative proposals, and text (e.g. SDP 1680 examples) have been borrowed (and, in some cases, modified) from 1681 those alternative proposals. 1683 The SDP examples are also modified versions from the ones in the 1684 Alvestrand proposal. 1686 Thanks to Paul Kyzivat, Martin Thomson, Flemming Andreasen, Thomas 1687 Stach, Ari Keraenen, Adam Roach, Christian Groves, Roman Shpount, 1688 Suhas Nandakumar, Nils Ohlmeier, Jens Guballa, Raju Makaraju and 1689 Justin Uberti for reading the text, and providing useful feedback. 1691 Thanks to Magnus Westerlund, Colin Perkins and Jonathan Lennox for 1692 providing help and text on the RTP/RTCP procedures. 1694 Thanks to Spotify for providing music for the countless hours of 1695 document editing. 1697 19.

Design Considerations 2026 A.1. General 2028 One of the main issues regarding the BUNDLE grouping extensions has 2029 been whether, in SDP Offers and SDP Answers, the same port value 2030 should be inserted in "m=" lines associated with a BUNDLE group, as 2031 the purpose of the extension is to negotiate the usage of a single 2032 address:port combination for media associated with the "m=" lines. 2033 Issues with both approaches, discussed in the Appendix have been 2034 raised. The outcome was to specify a mechanism which uses SDP Offers 2035 with both different and identical port values. 2037 Below are the primary issues that have been considered when defining 2038 the "BUNDLE" grouping extension: 2040 o 1) Interoperability with existing UAs. 2042 o 2) Interoperability with intermediary B2BUA- and proxy entities. 2044 o 3) Time to gather, and the number of, ICE candidates. 2046 o 4) Different error scenarios, and when they occur. 2048 o 5) SDP Offer/Answer impacts, including usage of port number value 2049 zero. 2051 NOTE: Before this document is published as an RFC, this 2052 Appendix might be removed. 2054 A.2. UA Interoperability 2056 Consider the following SDP Offer/Answer exchange, where Alice sends 2057 an SDP Offer to Bob: 2059 SDP Offer 2061 v=0 2062 o=alice 2890844526 2890844526 IN IP4 atlanta.example.com 2063 s= 2064 c=IN IP4 atlanta.example.com 2065 t=0 0 2066 m=audio 10000 RTP/AVP 97 2067 a=rtpmap:97 iLBC/8000 2068 m=video 10002 RTP/AVP 97 2069 a=rtpmap:97 H261/90000 2071 SDP Answer 2073 v=0 2074 o=bob 2808844564 2808844564 IN IP4 biloxi.example.com 2075 s= 2076 c=IN IP4 biloxi.example.com 2077 t=0 0 2078 m=audio 20000 RTP/AVP 97 2079 a=rtpmap:97 iLBC/8000 2080 m=video 20002 RTP/AVP 97 2081 a=rtpmap:97 H261/90000 2083 RFC 4961 specifies a way of doing symmetric RTP but that is an a 2084 later invention to RTP and Bob can not assume that Alice supports RFC 2085 4961. This means that Alice may be sending RTP from a different port 2086 than 10000 or 10002 - some implementation simply send the RTP from an 2087 ephemeral port. When Bob's endpoint receives an RTP packet, the only 2088 way that Bob know if it should be passed to the video or audio codec 2089 is by looking at the port it was received on. This lead some SDP 2090 implementations to use the fact that each "m=" line had a different 2091 port number to use that port number as an index to find the correct m 2092 line in the SDP. As a result, some implementations that do support 2093 symmetric RTP and ICE still use a SDP data structure where SDP with 2094 "m=" lines with the same port such as: 2096 SDP Offer 2098 v=0 2099 o=alice 2890844526 2890844526 IN IP4 atlanta.example.com 2100 s= 2101 c=IN IP4 atlanta.example.com 2102 t=0 0 2103 m=audio 10000 RTP/AVP 97 2104 a=rtpmap:97 iLBC/8000 2105 m=video 10000 RTP/AVP 98 2106 a=rtpmap:98 H261/90000 2108 will result in the second "m=" line being considered an SDP error 2109 because it has the same port as the first line. 2111 A.3. Usage of port number value zero 2113 In an SDP Offer or SDP Answer, the media associated with an "m=" line 2114 can be disabled/rejected by setting the port number value to zero. 2115 This is different from e.g. using the SDP direction attributes, where 2116 RTCP traffic will continue even if the SDP "inactive" attribute is 2117 indicated for the associated "m=" line. 2119 If each "m=" line associated with a BUNDLE group would contain 2120 different port values, and one of those port values would be used for 2121 a BUNDLE address associated with the BUNDLE group, problems would 2122 occur if an endpoint wants to disable/reject the "m=" line associated 2123 with that port, by setting the port value to zero. After that, no 2124 "m=" line would contain the port value which is used for the BUNDLE 2125 address. In addition, it is unclear what would happen to the ICE 2126 candidates associated with the "m=" line, as they are also used for 2127 the BUNDLE address. 2129 A.4. B2BUA And Proxy Interoperability 2131 Some back to back user agents may be configured in a mode where if 2132 the incoming call leg contains an SDP attribute the B2BUA does not 2133 understand, the B2BUS still generates that SDP attribute in the Offer 2134 for the outgoing call leg. Consider an B2BUA that did not understand 2135 the SDP "rtcp" attribute, defined in RFC 3605, yet acted this way. 2136 Further assume that the B2BUA was configured to tear down any call 2137 where it did not see any RTCP for 5 minutes. In this cases, if the 2138 B2BUA received an Offer like: 2140 SDP Offer 2142 v=0 2143 o=alice 2890844526 2890844526 IN IP4 atlanta.example.com 2144 s= 2145 c=IN IP4 atlanta.example.com 2146 t=0 0 2147 m=audio 49170 RTP/AVP 0 2148 a=rtcp:53020 2150 It would be looking for RTCP on port 49172 but would not see any 2151 because the RTCP would be on port 53020 and after five minutes, it 2152 would tear down the call. Similarly, an SBC that did not understand 2153 BUNDLE yet put BUNDLE in it's offer may be looking for media on the 2154 wrong port and tear down the call. It is worth noting that a B2BUA 2155 that generated an Offer with capabilities it does not understand is 2156 not compliant with the specifications. 2158 A.4.1. Traffic Policing 2160 Sometimes intermediaries do not act as B2BUA, in the sense that they 2161 don't modify SDP bodies, nor do they terminate SIP dialogs. Still, 2162 however, they may use SDP information (e.g. IP address and port) in 2163 order to control traffic gating functions, and to set traffic 2164 policing rules. There might be rules which will trigger a session to 2165 be terminated in case media is not sent or received on the ports 2166 retrieved from the SDP. This typically occurs once the session is 2167 already established and ongoing. 2169 A.4.2. Bandwidth Allocation 2171 Sometimes intermediaries do not act as B2BUA, in the sense that they 2172 don't modify SDP bodies, nor do they terminate SIP dialogs. Still, 2173 however, they may use SDP information (e.g. codecs and media types) 2174 in order to control bandwidth allocation functions. The bandwidth 2175 allocation is done per "m=" line, which means that it might not be 2176 enough if media associated with all "m=" lines try to use that 2177 bandwidth. That may either simply lead to bad user experience, or to 2178 termination of the call. 2180 A.5. Candidate Gathering 2182 When using ICE, an candidate needs to be gathered for each port. 2183 This takes approximately 20 ms extra for each extra "m=" line due to 2184 the NAT pacing requirements. All of this gather can be overlapped 2185 with other things while the page is loading to minimize the impact. 2186 If the client only wants to generate TURN or STUN ICE candidates for 2187 one of the "m=" lines and then use trickle ICE 2188 [I-D.ietf-mmusic-trickle-ice] to get the non host ICE candidates for 2189 the rest of the "m=" lines, it MAY do that and will not need any 2190 additional gathering time. 2192 Some people have suggested a TURN extension to get a bunch of TURN 2193 allocation at once. This would only provide a single STUN result so 2194 in cases where the other end did not support BUNDLE, may cause more 2195 use of the TURN server but would be quick in the cases where both 2196 sides supported BUNDLE and would fall back to a successful call in 2197 the other cases. 2199 Authors' Addresses 2201 Christer Holmberg 2202 Ericsson 2203 Hirsalantie 11 2204 Jorvas 02420 2205 Finland 2207 Email: christer.holmberg@ericsson.com 2209 Harald Tveit Alvestrand 2210 Google 2211 Kungsbron 2 2212 Stockholm 11122 2213 Sweden 2215 Email: harald@alvestrand.no 2216 Cullen Jennings 2217 Cisco 2218 400 3rd Avenue SW, Suite 350 2219 Calgary, AB T2P 4H2 2220 Canada 2222 Email: fluffy@iii.ca
