          SDP-based "SCTP over DTLS" data channel negotiation
               draft-ejzak-mmusic-data-channel-sdpneg-00

Abstract

   The Real-Time Communication in WEB-browsers (RTCWeb) working group is
   charged to provide protocols to support direct interactive rich
   communication using audio, video, and data between two peers' web-
   browsers.  For the support of data communication, the RTCWeb working
   group has in particular defined the concept of bi-directional data
   channels over SCTP, where each data channel might be used to
   transport other protocols, called sub-protocols.  Data channel setup
   can be done using either the in-band WebRTC Data Channel protocol or
   some external (in-band or out-of-band) negotiation.  This document
   specifies how the SDP offer/answer exchange can be used to achieve
   such an external negotiation.  Even though data channels are designed
   for RTCWeb use initially they may be used by other protocols like,
   but not limited to, the CLUE protocol.  This document is intended to
   be used whereever data channels are used.

Internet-Draft     SDP-based data channel negotiation      February 2014


1.  Introduction

   The RTCWeb working group has defined the concept of bi-directional
   data channels running on top of SCTP/DTLS.  RTCWeb leaves it openfor
   other applications to use data channels and its in-band or out-of-
   band protocol for creating them.  Each data channel consists of
   paired SCTP streams sharing the same SCTP Stream Identifier.  Data
   channels are created by endpoint applications through the WebRTC API,
   or other users of data channel like CLUE, and can be used to
   transport proprietary or well-defined protocols, which in the latter
   case can be signaled by the data channel "sub-protocol" parameter,
   conceptually similar to the WebSocket "sub-protocol".  However, apart
   from the "sub-protocol" value transmitted to the peer, RTCWeb leaves
   it open how endpoint applications can agree on how to instantiate a
   given sub-protocol on a data channel, and whether it is signaled in-
   band or out-of-band (or both).  In particular, the SDP offer
   generated by the browser includes no channel-specific information.

   This document defines SDP-based out-of-band negotiation procedures to
   establish data channels for transport of well-defined sub-protocols.


2.  Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].


3.  Terminology

   This document uses the following terms:

      Data channel: A bidirectional channel consisting of paired SCTP
      outbound and inbound streams.

      Data channel stack: An entity which, upon application request,
      runs data channel protocol to keep track of states, sending and
      receive data.  If the application is browser based Javascript
      application then this stack resides in the browser.  If the
      application is a native application then this stack resides in
      application and accessible to it via some sort of APIs.

      Data channel properties: fixed properties assigned to a data
      channel at the time of its creation.  Some of these properties
      determine the way the data channel stack transmits data on this
      channel (e.g., stream identifier, reliability, order of
      delivery...)

Internet-Draft     SDP-based data channel negotiation      February 2014


      External negotiation: data channel negotiation based on out-of-
      band or in-band mechanisms other than the data channel protocol.

      In-band: transmission through the peer-to-peer SCTP association.

      In-band negotiation: data channel negotiation based on the in-band
      data channel protocol defined in [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol].

      Out-of-band: transmission through the application signaling path.

      Peer: From the perspective of one of the agents in a session, its
      peer is the other agent.  Specifically, from the perspective of
      the SDP offerer, the peer is the SDP answerer.  From the
      perspective of the SDP answerer, the peer is the SDP offerer.

      Stream identifier: the identifier of the outbound and inbound SCTP
      streams composing a data channel.


4.  Data Channels

   This section summarizes how data channels work in general.  Note that
   the references to 'browser' here is intentional as in this specific
   example the data channel user is a webrtc enabled browser.

   A WebRTC application creates a data channel via the Data Channel API,
   by providing a number of setup parameters (sub-protocol, label,
   reliability, order of delivery, priority).  The application also
   specifies if it wants to make use of the in-band negotiation using
   the data protocol, or if the application intends to perform an
   "external negotiation" using some other in-band or out-of-band
   mechanism.

   In any case, the SDP offer generated by the browser is per
   [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp].  In brief, it contains one m-line for the
   SCTP association on top of which data channels will run, and one
   attribute per protocol assigned to the SCTP ports:

   OPEN ISSUE: The syntax in [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp] may change as
   that document progresses.  In particular we expect "webrtc-
   datachannel" to become a more general term.

Internet-Draft     SDP-based data channel negotiation      February 2014


   Note: A WebRTC browser will only create an sctpmap attribute for the
   webrtc-datachannel protocol, and will not create sctpmap attributes
   for other protocols such as bfcp or t38.  This example shows the
   hypothetical power of the syntax to support multiplexing of SCTP
   associations for different protocols on the same DTLS connection.

   Note: This SDP syntax does not contain any channel-specific
   information.

4.1.  Stream identifier numbering

   Independently from the requested type of negotiation, the application
   creating a data channel can either pass to the browser the stream
   identifier to assign to the data channel or else let the browser pick
   one identifier from the ones unused.

   To avoid glare situations, each endpoint can moreover own an
   exclusive set of stream identifiers, in which case an endpoint can
   only create a data channel with a stream identifier it owns.

   Which set of stream identifiers is owned by which endpoint is
   determined by convention or other means.

      For data channels negotiated in-band, one endpoint owns by
      convention the even stream identifiers, whereas the other owns the
      odd stream identifiers, as defined in
      [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol].

      For data channels externally negotiated, no convention is defined
      by default.

4.2.  Generic external negotiation

4.2.1.  Overview

   In-band negotiation only provides for negotiation of data channel
   transport parameters and does not provide for negotiation of sub-
   protocol specific parameters.  External negotiation can be defined to
   allow negotiation of parameters beyond those handled by in-band
   negotiation, e.g., parameters specific to the sub-protocol
   instantiated on a particular data channel.  See Section 5.1.2 for an
   example of such a parameter.

   The following procedures are common to all methods of external
   negotiation, whether in-band (communicated using proprietary means on
   an already established data channel) or out-of-band (using SDP or
   some other protocol associated with the signaling channel).

Internet-Draft     SDP-based data channel negotiation      February 2014


4.2.2.  Opening a data channel

   In the case of external negotiation, the endpoint application has the
   option to fully control the stream identifier assignments.  However
   these assignments have to coexist with the assignments controlled by
   the data channel stack for the in-band negotiated data channels (if
   any).  It is the responsibility of the application to ensure
   consistent assignment of stream identifiers.

   When the application requests the creation of a new data channel to
   be set up via external negotiation, the data channel stack creates
   the data channel locally without sending any DATA CHANNEL OPEN
   message in-band, and sets the data channel state to Connecting if the
   SCTP association is not yet established, or sets the data channel
   state to Open if the SCTP association is already established.  The
   side which starts external negotiation creates data channel using
   underlying data channel stack API and the data channel is put into
   open state immediately (assuming ICE, SCTP procedures were already
   done).  However, the application can't send data on this data channel
   until external negotiation is complete with the peer.  This is
   because peer needs to be aware and accept the data channel via
   external negotiation.  The peer after accepting the data channel
   offer can start sending data immediately.  This implies that offerer
   may get data channel message before external negotiation is complete
   and the application should be ready to handle it.

   If the peer rejects the data channel part of the offer then it
   doesn't have to do anything as the data channel was not created using
   the stack.  The offerer on the other hand need to close the data
   channel that was opened by invoking relevant data channel stack API.

   It is also worth noting that a data channel stack implementation may
   not provide any API to create and close data channels; instead the
   data channels are used on the fly as needed just by communicating via
   external means or by even having some local configuration/assumptions
   on both the peers.

   The application then externally negotiates the data channel
   properties and sub-protocol properties with the peer's application.

   [ASSUMPTION] The peer must then symmetrically create a data channel
   with these negotiated data channel properties.  This is the only way
   for the peer's data channel stack to know which properties to apply
   when transmitting data on this channel.  The data channel stack must
   allow data channel creation with any non-conflicting stream
   identifier so that both peers can create the data channel with the
   same stream identifier.

Internet-Draft     SDP-based data channel negotiation      February 2014


   In case the external negotiation is correlated with an SDP offer/
   answer exchange that establishes the SCTP association, the SCTP
   initialization completion triggers a callback from the data channel
   stack to an application on both the ends to change the data channel
   state from Connecting to Open.  The details of this interface is
   specific to the data channel user application.  Browser based
   applications (could include hybrid apps) will use
   [http://www.w3.org/TR/webrtc/], while native applications use a
   compatible API, which is yet to be specified.  See Section 5.2.2 for
   details on when the data channel stack can assume the data channel is
   open, and on when the application can assume the data channel is
   open.

4.2.3.  Closing a data channel

   When the application requests the closing of an externally negotiated
   data channel, the data channel stack always performs an in-band SSN
   reset for this channel.

   Depending upon the method used for external negotiation and the sub-
   protocol associated with the data channel, the closing might in
   addition be signaled to the peer via external negotiation.


5.  SDP-based external negotiation

   This section defines a method of external negotiation by which two
   clients can negotiate data channel-specific and sub-protocol-specific
   parameters, using the out-of-band SDP offer/answer exchange.

5.1.  SDP syntax

   Two new SDP attributes are defined to support external negotiation of
   data channels.  The first attribute provides for negotiation of
   channel-specific parameters.  The second attribute provides for
   negotiation of sub-protocol-specific parameters.

5.1.1.  SDP attribute for data channel parameter negotiation

   Associated with the m line that defines the SCTP association for data
   channels (defined in Section 4), each SDP offer and answer includes
   an attribute line that defines the data channel parameters for each
   data channel to be negotiated.  Each attribute line specifies the
   following parameters for a data channel: Stream Identifier, sub-
   protocol, label, reliability, order of delivery, and priority.  The
   following is an example of the attribute line for sub-protocol "BFCP"
   and stream id "2" :




Drage, et al.            Expires August 18, 2014                [Page 7]


Internet-Draft     SDP-based data channel negotiation      February 2014


   a=dcmap:5000 stream=2;label="channel 2"; \
     subprotocol="BFCP";max_retr=3

   This line MUST be replicated without changes in the SDP answer, if
   the answerer accepts the offered data channel.

   This line MUST be replicated without changes in any subsequent offer
   or answer, as long as the data channel is still opened at the time of
   offer or answer generation.

      Note: This attribute was defined in old version 03 of the
      following draft but was removed along with any support for SDP
      external negotiation in subsequent versions:
      [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp].

      Note: This document does not provide a complete specification of
      how to negotiate the use of a data channel to transport BFCP.
      Procedures specific to each sub-protocol such as BFCP will be
      documented elsewhere.  The use of BFCP is only an example of how
      the generic procedures described herein might apply to a specific
      sub-protocol.

5.1.1.1.  stream parameter

   The 'stream' parameter indicates the actual stream identifier within
   the association used to form the channel.  Stream is a mandatory
   parameter.

   stream-attr       =  "stream=" streamidentifier
   streamidentifier      =  1*DIGIT

5.1.1.2.  label parameter

   The optional 'label' parameter indicates the name of the channel.  It
   represents a label that can be used to distinguish, in the context of
   the WebRTC API, an RTCDataChannel object from other RTCDataChannel
   objects.  Label is a mandatory parameter.

   label-attr       =  "label=" labelstring
   labelstring      =  text
   text             =  byte-string

5.1.1.3.  subprotocol parameter

   The 'subprotocol' parameter indicates which protocol the client
   expects to exchange via the channel.  Subprotocol is a mandatory
   parameter.




Drage, et al.            Expires August 18, 2014                [Page 8]


Internet-Draft     SDP-based data channel negotiation      February 2014


   subprotocol-attr       =  "subprotocol=" labelstring
   labelstring            =  text
   text                   =  byte-string

   [ACTION ITEM] The IANA registry to be used for the subprotocol
   parameter is still to be determined.  It also needs to be determined
   what the relationship is to existing registries and how to reference
   already-existing protocols.

5.1.1.4.  max_retr parameter

   The 'max_retr' parameter indicates the max times a user message will
   be retransmitted.  The max_retr parameter is optional with default
   value unbounded.

   maxretr-attr       =  "maxretr=" maxretrvalue
   maxretrvalue       =  1*DIGIT

5.1.1.5.  max_time parameter

   A user messages will no longer be transmitted or retransmitted after
   a specified life-time given in milliseconds in the 'max_time'
   parameter.  The max_time parameter is optional with default value
   unbounded.  If the data channel is reliable then the SCTP association
   will be closed after 'maxtime' if data is still not transmitted
   successfully.  This also means it impacts other streams.  If the data
   channel is unreliable then the SCTP association stays up after
   'maxtime' even if the data not is successfully transmitted.

   maxtime-attr       =  "maxtime=" maxtimevalue
   maxtimevalue       =  1*DIGIT

5.1.1.6.  unordered parameter

   The 'unordered' parameter indicates that DATA chunks in the channel
   MUST be dispatched to the upper layer by the receiver without any
   attempt to reorder.  The unordered parameter is optional.  If the
   unordered parameter is absent, the receiver is required to deliver
   DATA chunks to the upper layer in proper order.

5.1.2.  Sub-protocol specific attributes

   In the SDP, each data channel declaration MAY also be followed by
   other SDP attributes specific to the sub-protocol in use.  Each of
   these attributes is represented by one new attribute line, and it
   includes the contents of a media-level SDP attribute already defined
   for use with this (sub)protocol in another IETF specification.  Sub-
   protocol-specific attributes might also be defined for exclusive use



Drage, et al.            Expires August 18, 2014                [Page 9]


Internet-Draft     SDP-based data channel negotiation      February 2014


   with data channel transport, but should use the same syntax described
   here for other sub-protocol-specific attributes.

   Each sub-protocol specific SDP attribute that would normally be used
   to negotiate the subprotocol using SDP is replaced with an attribute
   of the form "a=dcsa:sctp-port:stream-id original-attribute", where
   dcsa stands for "data channel sub-protocol attribute", sctp-port is
   the sctp port number assigned for data channel on the media line,
   stream-id is the sctp stream identifier assigned to this sub-protocol
   instance, and original-attribute represents the contents of the sub-
   protocol related attribute to be included.

   a=dcmap:5000 stream=2;label="channel 2"; \
     subprotocol="MSRP";max_retr=3
   a=dcsa:5000:2 accept-types:text/plain

   Thus in the example above, the original attribute line "a=accept-
   types:text/plain" is represented by the attribute line "a=dcsa:5000:2
   accept-types:text/plain", which specifies that this instance of MSRP
   being transported on the sctp association using port number 5000 and
   the data channel with stream id 2 accepts plain text files.

   As opposed to the data channel setup parameters, these parameters are
   subject to offer/answer negotiation following the procedures defined
   in the sub-protocol specific documents.

   The same syntax applies to any other SDP attribute required for
   negotiation of this instance of the sub-protocol.

   Note: This document does not provide a complete specification of how
   to negotiate the use of a data channel to transport MSRP.  Procedures
   specific to each sub-protocol such as MSRP will be documented
   elsewhere.  The use of MSRP is only an example of how the generic
   procedures described herein might apply to a specific sub-protocol.

5.2.  Procedures

5.2.1.  Managing stream identifiers

   For the SDP-based external negotiation described in this document,
   the initial offerer based "SCTP over DTLS" owns by convention the
   even stream identifiers whereas the initial answerer owns the odd
   stream identifiers.  This ownership is invariant for the whole
   lifetime of the signaling session, e.g. it does not change if the
   initial answerer sends a new offer to the initial offerer.

   [ACTION ITEM] This convention is different from the convention
   currently defined for in-band negotiation, where even/odd assignment



Drage, et al.            Expires August 18, 2014               [Page 10]


Internet-Draft     SDP-based data channel negotiation      February 2014


   is determined by DTLS role.  Since DTLS role cannot be determined
   until after the initial SDP offer/answer is complete, this convention
   cannot be used for external negotiation.  It might be appropriate to
   change the convention for stream identifier assignment for in-band
   negotiation for consistency with external negotiation.  Otherwise it
   might be necessary to prohibit simultaneous use of in-band and
   external negotiation for data channels.

5.2.2.  Opening a data channel

   The procedure for opening a data channel using external negotiation
   starts with the agent preparing to send an SDP offer.  If a peer
   receives an SDP offer before getting to send a new SDP offer with
   data channels that are to be externally negotiated, or loses an SDP
   offer glare resolution procedure in this case, it must wait until the
   ongoing SDP offer/answer completes before resuming the external
   negotiation procedure.

   The agent that intends to send an SDP offer to create data channels
   through SDP-based external negotiation performs the following:

   o  Creates data channels using stream identifiers from the owned set
      (see Section 5.2.1).

   o  As described in Section 4.2.2, if the SCTP association is not yet
      established, then the newly created data channels are in the
      Connecting state, else if the SCTP association is already
      established, then the newly created data channels are in the Open
      state.

   o  Generates a new SDP offer.  In the case of the browser based
      applications browser generates the offer via createOffer() API
      call[JSEP reference here].

   o  Determines the list of stream identifiers assigned to data
      channels opened through external negotiation.

   o  Completes the SDP offer with the dcmap and dcsa attributes needed
      for each externally-negotiated data channel, as described in
      Section 5.1.

   o  Sends the SDP offer.

   The peer receiving such an SDP offer performs the following:

   o  Applies the SDP offer.  Note that the browser ignores data channel
      specific attributes in the SDP.

Internet-Draft     SDP-based data channel negotiation      February 2014


   o  Analyzes the channel parameters and sub-protocol attributes to
      determine whether to accept each offered data channel.

   o  For accepted data channels, creates peer instances for the data
      channels with the browser using the channel parameters described
      in the SDP offer.  Note that the browser is asked to create data
      channels with stream identifiers not "owned" by the agent.

   o  As described in Section 4.2.2, if the SCTP association is not yet
      established, then the newly created data channels are in the
      Connecting state, else if the SCTP association is already
      established, then the newly created data channels are in the Open
      state.

   o  Generates an SDP answer.

   o  Completes the SDP answer with the dcmap and dcsa attributes needed
      for each externally-negotiated data channel, as described in
      Section 5.1.

   o  Sends the SDP answer.

   The agent receiving such an SDP answer performs the following:

   o  Closes any created data channels (whether in Connecting or Open
      state) for which the expected dcmap and dcsa attributes are not
      present in the SDP answer.

   o  Applies the SDP answer.

   Any data channels in Connecting state are transitioned to the Open
   state when the SCTP association is established.

   Each agent application MUST wait to send data until it has
   confirmation that the data channel at the peer is in the Open state.
   For webrtc, this is when both data channel stacks have channel
   parameters instantiated.  This occurs:

   o  At both peers when a data channel is created without an
      established SCTP association, as soon as the data channel stacks
      report that the data channel transitions to the Open state from
      the Connecting state.

   o  At the agent receiving an SDP offer for which there is an
      established SCTP association, as soon as it creates an externally
      negotiated data channel in the Open state based on information
      signaled in the SDP offer.

Internet-Draft     SDP-based data channel negotiation      February 2014


   o  At the agent sending an SDP offer to create a new externally
      negotiated data channel for which there is an established SCTP
      association, when it receives the SDP answer confirming acceptance
      of the data channel or when it begins to receive data on the data
      channel from the peer, whichever occurs first.

5.2.3.  Closing a data channel

   When the application requests the closing of a data channel that was
   externally negotiated, the browser always performs an in-band SSN
   reset for this channel.

   It is specific to the sub-protocol whether this closing must in
   addition be signaled to the peer via a new SDP offer/answer exchange.

   The application must also close any data channel that was externally
   negotiated, for which the stream identifiers are not listed in an
   incoming SDP offer.
