                    RTP Payload Format Restrictions
                        draft-ietf-mmusic-rid-11

Abstract

   In this specification, we define a framework for specifying
   restrictions on RTP streams in the Session Description Protocol.
   This framework defines a new "rid" SDP attribute to unambiguously
   identify the RTP Streams within a RTP Session and restrict the
   streams' payload format parameters in a codec-agnostic way beyond
   what is provided with the regular Payload Types.

   This specification updates RFC4855 to give additional guidance on
   choice of Format Parameter (fmtp) names, and on their relation to the
   restrictions defined by this document.

1.  Terminology

   The terms "Source RTP Stream", "Endpoint", "RTP Session", and "RTP
   Stream" are used as defined in [RFC7656].

   [RFC4566] and [RFC3264] terminology is also used where appropriate.

2.  Introduction

   The Payload Type (PT) field in RTP provides a mapping between the RTP
   payload format and the associated SDP media description.  The SDP
   rtpmap and/or fmtp attributes are used, for a given PT, to describe
   the properties of the media that is carried in the RTP payload.

   Recent advances in standards have given rise to rich multimedia
   applications requiring support for multiple RTP Streams within a RTP
   session [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation],
   [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-simulcast] or having to support a large number
   of codecs.  These demands have unearthed challenges inherent with:

   o  The restricted RTP PT space in specifying the various payload
      configurations,

   o  The codec-specific constructs for the payload formats in SDP,

   o  Missing or underspecified payload format parameters,

   o  Overloading of PTs to indicate not just codec configurations, but
      individual streams within an RTP session.

   To expand on these points: [RFC3550] assigns 7 bits for the PT in the
   RTP header.  However, the assignment of static mapping of RTP payload
   type numbers to payload formats and multiplexing of RTP with other
   protocols (such as RTCP) could result in a limited number of payload
   type numbers available for application usage.  In scenarios where the
   number of possible RTP payload configurations exceed the available PT
   space within a RTP Session, there is a need for a way to represent

Internet-Draft              RTP Restrictions                   July 2017


   the additional restrictions on payload configurations and to
   effectively map an RTP Stream to its corresponding restrictions.
   This issue is exacerbated by the increase in techniques - such as
   simulcast and layered codecs - which introduce additional streams
   into RTP Sessions.

   This specification defines a new SDP framework for restricting Source
   RTP Streams (Section 2.1.10 [RFC7656]), along with the SDP attributes
   to restrict payload formats in a codec-agnostic way.  This framework
   can be thought of as a complementary extension to the way the media
   format parameters are specified in SDP today, via the "a=fmtp"
   attribute.

   The additional restrictions on individual streams are indicated with
   a new "a=rid" SDP attribute.  Note that the restrictions communicated
   via this attribute only serve to further restrict the parameters that
   are established on a PT format.  They do not relax any existing
   restrictions.

   This specification makes use of the RTP Stream Identifier SDES RTCP
   item defined in [I-D.ietf-avtext-rid]  to provide correlation between
   the RTP Packets and their format specification in the SDP.

   As described in Section 6.2.1, this mechanism achieves backwards
   compatibility via the normal SDP processing rules, which require
   unknown a= lines to be ignored.  This means that implementations need
   to be prepared to handle successful offers and answers from other
   implementations that neither indicate nor honor the restrictions
   requested by this mechanism.

   Further, as described in Section 6 and its subsections, this
   mechanism achieves extensibility by: (a) having offerers include all
   supported restrictions in their offer, and (b) having answerers
   ignore "a=rid" lines that specify unknown restrictions.

3.  Key Words for Requirements

   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]

4.  SDP "a=rid" Media Level Attribute

   This section defines new SDP media-level attribute [RFC4566],
   "a=rid", ("restriction identifier") used to communicate a set of
   restrictions to be applied to an identified RTP Stream.  Roughly
   speaking, this attribute takes the following form (see Section 10 for
   a formal definition).



Thatcher, et al.        Expires January 20, 2018                [Page 4]


Internet-Draft              RTP Restrictions                   July 2017


   a=rid:<rid-id> <direction> [pt=<fmt-list>;]<restriction>=<value>...


   An "a=rid" SDP media attribute specifies restrictions defining a
   unique RTP payload configuration identified via the "rid-id" field.
   This value binds the restriction to the RTP Stream identified by its
   RTP Stream Identifier SDES item [I-D.ietf-avtext-rid].  To be clear,
   implementations that use the "a=rid" parameter in SDP MUST support
   the RtpStreamId SDES item described in [I-D.ietf-avtext-rid].  Such
   implementations MUST send it for all streams in an SDP media
   description ("m=") that have "a=rid" lines remaining after applying
   the rules in Section 6 and its subsections.

   Implementations that use the "a=rid" parameter in SDP and that make
   use of redundancy RTP streams [RFC7656], e.g.  RTP RTX [RFC4588] or
   FEC [RFC5109] [I-D.ietf-payload-flexible-fec-scheme], for any of the
   source RTP streams that have "a=rid" lines remaining after applying
   the rules in Section 6 and its subsections, MUST support and use
   RepairedRtpStreamId SDES item described in [I-D.ietf-avtext-rid] for
   those redundancy RTP streams.  This provides the binding between the
   source RTP stream and the corresponding redundancy RTP stream, by
   setting RepairedRtpStreamId value for the redundancy RTP stream to
   the RtpStreamId value of the source RTP stream.  The redundancy RTP
   stream MAY (but need not) have an "a=rid" line of its own, in which
   case the RtpStreamId SDES item value will be different from the
   corresponding source RTP stream.

   The "direction" field identifies the direction of the RTP Stream
   packets to which the indicated restrictions are applied.  It may be
   either "send" or "recv".  Note that these restriction directions are
   expressed independently of any "inactive", "sendonly", "recvonly", or
   "sendrecv" attributes associated with the media section.  It is, for
   example, valid to indicate "recv" restrictions on a "sendonly"
   stream; those restrictions would apply if, at a future point in time,
   the stream were changed to "sendrecv" or "recvonly".

   The optional "pt=<fmt-list>" lists one or more PT values that can be
   used in the associated RTP Stream.  If the "a=rid" attribute contains
   no "pt", then any of the PT values specified in the corresponding
   "m=" line may be used.

   The list of zero or more codec-agnostic restrictions (Section 5)
   describe the restrictions that the corresponding RTP Stream will
   conform to.

   This framework MAY be used in combination with the "a=fmtp" SDP
   attribute for describing the media format parameters for a given RTP

   Payload Type.  In such scenarios, the "a=rid" restrictions
   (Section 5) further restrict the equivalent "a=fmtp" attributes.

   A given SDP media description MAY have zero or more "a=rid" lines
   describing various possible RTP payload configurations.  A given
   "rid-id" MUST NOT be repeated in a given media description ("m="
   section).

   The "a=rid" media attribute MAY be used for any RTP-based media
   transport.  It is not defined for other transports, although other
   documents may extend its semantics for such transports.

   Though the restrictions specified by the "rid" restrictions follow a
   syntax similar to session-level and media-level parameters, they are
   defined independently.  All "rid" restrictions MUST be registered
   with IANA, using the registry defined in Section 12.

   Section 10 gives a formal Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) [RFC5234]
   grammar for the "rid" attribute.  The "a=rid" media attribute is not
   dependent on charset.

5.  "a=rid" restrictions

   This section defines the "a=rid" restrictions that can be used to
   restrict the RTP payload encoding format in a codec-agnostic way.

   The following restrictions are intended to apply to video codecs in a
   codec-independent fashion.

   o  max-width, for spatial resolution in pixels.  In the case that
      stream orientation signaling is used to modify the intended
      display orientation, this attribute refers to the width of the
      stream when a rotation of zero degrees is encoded.

   o  max-height, for spatial resolution in pixels.  In the case that
      stream orientation signaling is used to modify the intended
      display orientation, this attribute refers to the height of the
      stream when a rotation of zero degrees is encoded.

   o  max-fps, for frame rate in frames per second.  For encoders that
      do not use a fixed framerate for encoding, this value should
      restrict the minimum amount of time between frames: the time
      between any two consecutive frames SHOULD NOT be less than 1/max-
      fps seconds.

   o  max-fs, for frame size in pixels per frame.  This is the product
      of frame width and frame height, in pixels, for rectangular
      frames.

Internet-Draft              RTP Restrictions                   July 2017


   o  max-br, for bit rate in bits per second.  The restriction applies
      to the media payload only, and does not include overhead
      introduced by other layers (e.g., RTP, UDP, IP, or Ethernet).  The
      exact means of keeping within this limit are left up to the
      implementation, and instantaneous excursions outside the limit are
      permissible.  For any given one-second sliding window, however,
      the total number of bits in the payload portion of RTP SHOULD NOT
      exceed the value specified in "max-br."

   o  max-pps, for pixel rate in pixels per second.  This value SHOULD
      be handled identically to max-fps, after performing the following
      conversion: max-fps = max-pps / (width * height).  If the stream
      resolution changes, this value is recalculated.  Due to this
      recalculation, excursions outside the specified maximum are
      possible near resolution change boundaries.

   o  max-bpp, for maximum number of bits per pixel, calculated as an
      average of all samples of any given coded picture.  This is
      expressed as a floating point value, with an allowed range of
      0.0001 to 48.0.  These values MUST be encoded with at most four
      digits to the right of the decimal point.

   o  depend, to identify other streams that the stream depends on.  The
      value is a comma-separated list of rid-ids.  These rid-ids
      identify RTP streams that this stream depends on in order to allow
      for proper interpretation.  The mechanism defined in this document
      allows for such dependencies to be expressed only when the streams
      are in the same media section.

   All the restrictions are optional and are subject to negotiation
   based on the SDP Offer/Answer rules described in Section 6.

   This list is intended to be an initial set of restrictions.  Future
   documents may define additional restrictions; see Section 12.2.
   While this document does not define restrictions for audio codecs or
   any media types other than video, there is no reason such
   restrictions should be precluded from definition and registration by
   other documents.

   Section 10 provides formal Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF)
   [RFC5234] grammar for each of the "a=rid" restrictions defined in
   this section.

6.  SDP Offer/Answer Procedures

   This section describes the SDP Offer/Answer [RFC3264] procedures when
   using this framework.

Internet-Draft              RTP Restrictions                   July 2017


   Note that "rid-id" values are only required to be unique within a
   media section ("m-line"); they do not necessarily need to be unique
   within an entire RTP session.  In traditional usage, each media
   section is sent on its own unique 5-tuple, which provides an
   unambiguous scope.  Similarly, when using BUNDLE
   [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation], MID values associate RTP
   streams uniquely to a single media description.

6.1.  Generating the Initial SDP Offer

   For each RTP media description in the offer, the offerer MAY choose
   to include one or more "a=rid" lines to specify a configuration
   profile for the given set of RTP Payload Types.

   In order to construct a given "a=rid" line, the offerer must follow
   these steps:

   1.  It MUST generate a "rid-id" that is unique within a media
       description

   2.  It MUST set the direction for the "rid-id" to one of "send" or
       "recv"

   3.  It MAY include a listing of SDP media formats (usually
       corresponding to RTP payload types) allowed to appear in the RTP
       Stream.  Any Payload Types chosen MUST be a valid payload type
       for the media section (that is, it must be listed on the "m="
       line).  The order of the listed formats is significant; the
       alternatives are listed from (left) most preferred to (right)
       least preferred.  When using RID, this preference overrides the
       normal codec preference as expressed by format type ordering on
       the "m="-line, using regular SDP rules.

   4.  The Offerer then chooses zero or more "a=rid" restrictions
       (Section 5) to be applied to the RTP Stream, and adds them to the
       "a=rid" line.

   5.  If the offerer wishes the answerer to have the ability to specify
       a restriction, but does not wish to set a value itself, it
       includes the name of the restriction in the "a=rid" line, but
       without any indicated value.

   Note: If an "a=fmtp" attribute is also used to provide media-format-
   specific parameters, then the "a=rid" restrictions will further
   restrict the equivalent "a=fmtp" parameters for the given Payload
   Type for the specified RTP Stream.

Internet-Draft              RTP Restrictions                   July 2017


   If a given codec would require an "a=fmtp" line when used without
   "a=rid" then the offer MUST include a valid corresponding "a=fmtp"
   line even when using "a=rid".

6.2.  Answerer processing the SDP Offer

6.2.1.  "a=rid"-unaware Answerer

   If the receiver doesn't support the framework defined in this
   specification, the entire "a=rid" line is ignored following the
   standard [RFC3264] Offer/Answer rules.

   Section 6.1 requires the offer to include a valid "a=fmtp" line for
   any media formats that otherwise require it (in other words, the
   "a=rid" line cannot be used to replace "a=fmtp" configuration).  As a
   result, ignoring the "a=rid" line is always guaranteed to result in a
   valid session description.

6.2.2.  "a=rid"-aware Answerer

   If the answerer supports the "a=rid" attribute, the following
   verification steps are executed, in order, for each "a=rid" line in a
   received offer:

   1.  The answerer ensures that the "a=rid" line is syntactically well
       formed.  In the case of a syntax error, the "a=rid" line is
       discarded.

   2.  Extract the rid-id from the "a=rid" line and verify its
       uniqueness within a media section.  In the case of a duplicate,
       the entire "a=rid" line, and all "a=rid" lines with rid-ids that
       duplicate this line, are discarded and MUST NOT be included in
       the SDP Answer.

   3.  If the "a=rid" line contains a "pt=", the list of payload types
       is verified against the list of valid payload types for the media
       section (that is, those listed on the "m=" line).  Any PT missing
       from the "m=" line is discarded from the set of values in the
       "pt=".  If no values are left in the "pt=" parameter after this
       processing, then the "a=rid" line is discarded.

   4.  If the "direction" field is "recv", The answerer ensures that
       "a=rid" restrictions are supported.  In the case of an
       unsupported restriction, the "a=rid" line is discarded.

   5.  If the "depend" restriction is included, the answerer MUST make
       sure that the listed rid-ids unambiguously match the rid-ids in

       the media description.  Any "depend" "a=rid" lines that do not
       are discarded.

   6.  The answerer verifies that the restrictions are consistent with
       at least one of the codecs to be used with the RTP Stream.  If
       the "a=rid" line contains a "pt=", it contains the list of such
       codecs; otherwise, the list of such codecs is taken from the
       associated "m=" line.  See Section 8 for more detail.  If the
       "a=rid" restrictions are incompatible with the other codec
       properties for all codecs, then the "a=rid" line is discarded.

   Note that the answerer does not need to understand every restriction
   present in a "send" line: if a stream sender restricts the stream in
   a way that the receiver does not understand, this causes no issues
   with interoperability.

6.3.  Generating the SDP Answer

   Having performed verification of the SDP offer as described in
   Section 6.2.2, the answerer shall perform the following steps to
   generate the SDP answer.

   For each "a=rid" line:

   1.  The value of the "direction" field is reversed: "send" is changed
       to "recv", and "recv" is changed to "send".

   2.  The answerer MAY choose to modify specific "a=rid" restriction
       values in the answer SDP.  In such a case, the modified value
       MUST be more restricted than the ones specified in the offer.
       The answer MUST NOT include any restrictions that were not
       present in the offer.

   3.  The answerer MUST NOT modify the "rid-id" present in the offer.

   4.  If the "a=rid" line contains a "pt=", the answerer is allowed to
       discard one or more media formats from a given "a=rid" line.  If
       the answerer chooses to discard all the media formats from an
       "a=rid" line, the answerer MUST discard the entire "a=rid" line.
       If the offer did not contain a "pt=" for a given "a=rid" line,
       then the answer MUST NOT contain a "pt=" in the corresponding
       line.

   5.  In cases where the answerer is unable to support the payload
       configuration specified in a given "a=rid" line with a direction
       of "recv" in the offer, the answerer MUST discard the
       corresponding "a=rid" line.  This includes situations in which




Thatcher, et al.        Expires January 20, 2018               [Page 10]


Internet-Draft              RTP Restrictions                   July 2017


       the answerer does not understand one or more of the restrictions
       in an "a=rid" line with a direction of "recv".

   Note: in the case that the answerer uses different PT values to
   represent a codec than the offerer did, the "a=rid" values in the
   answer use the PT values that are present in its answer.

6.4.  Offerer Processing of the SDP Answer

   The offerer SHALL follow these steps when processing the answer:

   1.  The offerer matches the "a=rid" line in the answer to the "a=rid"
       line in the offer using the "rid-id".  If no matching line can be
       located in the offer, the "a=rid" line is ignored.

   2.  If the answer contains any restrictions that were not present in
       the offer, then the offerer SHALL discard the "a=rid" line.

   3.  If the restrictions have been changed between the offer and the
       answer, the offerer MUST ensure that the modifications can be
       supported; if they cannot, the offerer SHALL discard the "a=rid"
       line.

   4.  If the "a=rid" line in the answer contains a "pt=" but the offer
       did not, the offerer SHALL discard the "a=rid" line.

   5.  If the "a=rid" line in the answer contains a "pt=" and the offer
       did as well, the offerer verifies that the list of payload types
       is a subset of those sent in the corresponding "a=rid" line in
       the offer.  Note that this matching must be performed
       semantically rather than on literal PT values, as the remote end
       may not be using symmetric PTs.  For the purpose of this
       comparison: for each PT listed on the "a=rid" line in the answer,
       the offerer looks up the corresponding "a=rtpmap" and "a=fmtp"
       lines in the answer.  It then searches the list of "pt=" values
       indicated in the offer, and attempts to find one with an
       equivalent set of "a=rtpmap" and "a=fmtp" lines in the offer.  If
       all PTs in the answer can be matched, then the "pt=" values pass
       validation; otherwise, it fails.  If this validation fails, the
       offerer SHALL discard the "a=rid" line.  Note that this semantic
       comparison necessarily requires an understanding of the meaning
       of codec parameters, rather than a rote byte-wise comparison of
       their values.

   6.  If the "a=rid" line contains a "pt=", the offerer verifies that
       the attribute values provided in the "a=rid" attributes are
       consistent with the corresponding codecs and their other
       parameters.  See Section 8 for more detail.  If the "a=rid"



Thatcher, et al.        Expires January 20, 2018               [Page 11]


Internet-Draft              RTP Restrictions                   July 2017


       restrictions are incompatible with the other codec properties,
       then the offerer SHALL discard the "a=rid" line.

   7.  The offerer verifies that the restrictions are consistent with at
       least one of the codecs to be used with the RTP Stream.  If the
       "a=rid" line contains a "pt=", it contains the list of such
       codecs; otherwise, the list of such codecs is taken from the
       associated "m=" line.  See Section 8 for more detail.  If the
       "a=rid" restrictions are incompatible with the other codec
       properties for all codecs, then the offerer SHALL discard the
       "a=rid" line.

   Any "a=rid" line present in the offer that was not matched by step 1
   above has been discarded by the answerer, and does not form part of
   the negotiated restrictions on an RTP Stream.  The offerer MAY still
   apply any restrictions it indicated in an "a=rid" line with a
   direction field of "send", but it is not required to do so.

   It is important to note that there are several ways in which an offer
   can contain a media section with "a=rid" lines, but the corresponding
   media section in the response does not.  This includes situations in
   which the answerer does not support "a=rid" at all, or does not
   support the indicated restrictions.  Under such circumstances, the
   offerer MUST be prepared to receive a media stream to which no
   restrictions have been applied.

6.5.  Modifying the Session

   Offers and answers inside an existing session follow the rules for
   initial session negotiation.  Such an offer MAY propose a change in
   the number of RIDs in use.  To avoid race conditions with media, any
   RIDs with proposed changes SHOULD use a new ID, rather than re-using
   one from the previous offer/answer exchange.  RIDs without proposed
   changes SHOULD re-use the ID from the previous exchange.

7.  Use with Declarative SDP

   This document does not define the use of RID in declarative SDP.  If
   concrete use cases for RID in declarative SDP use are identified in
   the future, we expect that additional specifications will address
   such use.

8.  Interaction with Other Techniques

   Historically, a number of other approaches have been defined that
   allow restricting media streams via SDP.  These include:





Thatcher, et al.        Expires January 20, 2018               [Page 12]


Internet-Draft              RTP Restrictions                   July 2017


   o  Codec-specific configuration set via format parameters ("a=fmtp");
      for example, the H.264 "max-fs" format parameter [RFC6184]

   o  Size restrictions imposed by image attribute attributes
      ("a=imageattr") [RFC6236]

   When the mechanism described in this document is used in conjunction
   with these other restricting mechanisms, it is intended to impose
   additional restrictions beyond those communicated in other
   techniques.

   In an offer, this means that "a=rid" lines, when combined with other
   restrictions on the media stream, are expected to result in a non-
   empty union.  For example, if image attributes are used to indicate
   that a PT has a minimum width of 640, then specification of "max-
   width=320" in an "a=rid" line that is then applied to that PT is
   nonsensical.  According to the rules of Section 6.2.2, this will
   result in the corresponding "a=rid" line being ignored by the
   recipient.

   In an answer, the "a=rid" lines, when combined with the other
   restrictions on the media stream, are also expected to result in a
   non-empty union.  If the implementation generating an answer wishes
   to restrict a property of the stream below that which would be
   allowed by other parameters (e.g., those specified in "a=fmtp" or
   "a=imageattr"), its only recourse is to discard the "a=rid" line
   altogether, as described in Section 6.3.  If it instead attempts to
   restrict the stream beyond what is allowed by other mechanisms, then
   the offerer will ignore the corresponding "a=rid" line, as described
   in Section 6.4.

   The following subsections demonstrate these interactions using
   commonly-used video codecs.  These descriptions are illustrative of
   the interaction principles outlined above, and are not normative.

8.1.  Interaction with VP8 Format Parameters

   [RFC7741] defines two format parameters for the VP8 codec.  Both
   correspond to restrictions on receiver capabilities, and never
   indicate sending restrictions.

8.1.1.  max-fr - Maximum Framerate

   The VP8 "max-fr" format parameter corresponds to the "max-fps"
   restriction defined in this specification.  If an RTP sender is
   generating a stream using a format defined with this format
   parameter, and the sending restrictions defined via "a=rid" include a




Thatcher, et al.        Expires January 20, 2018               [Page 13]


Internet-Draft              RTP Restrictions                   July 2017


   "max-fps" parameter, then the sent stream will conform to the smaller
   of the two values.

8.1.2.  max-fs - Maximum Framesize, in VP8 Macroblocks

   The VP8 "max-fs" format parameter corresponds to the "max-fs"
   restriction defined in this document, by way of a conversion factor
   of the number of pixels per macroblock (typically 256).  If an RTP
   sender is generating a stream using a format defined with this format
   parameter, and the sending restrictions defined via "a=rid" include a
   "max-fs" parameter, then the sent stream will conform to the smaller
   of the two values; that is, the number of pixels per frame will not
   exceed:

     min(rid_max_fs, fmtp_max_fs * macroblock_size)

   This fmtp parameter also has bearing on the max-height and max-width
   parameters.  Section 6.1 of [RFC7741] requires that the width and
   height of the frame in macroblocks are also required to be less than
   int(sqrt(fmtp_max_fs * 8)).  Accordingly, the maximum width of a
   transmitted stream will be limited to:

     min(rid_max_width, int(sqrt(fmtp_max_fs * 8)) * macroblock_width)

   Similarly, the stream's height will be limited to:

     min(rid_max_height, int(sqrt(fmtp_max_fs * 8)) * macroblock_height)

8.2.  Interaction with H.264 Format Parameters

   [RFC6184] defines format parameters for the H.264 video codec.  The
   majority of these parameters do not correspond to codec-independent
   restrictions:

   o  deint-buf-cap

   o  in-band-parameter-sets

   o  level-asymmetry-allowed

   o  max-rcmd-nalu-size

   o  max-cpb

   o  max-dpb

   o  packetization-mode

Internet-Draft              RTP Restrictions                   July 2017


   o  redundant-pic-cap

   o  sar-supported

   o  sar-understood

   o  sprop-deint-buf-req

   o  sprop-init-buf-time

   o  sprop-interleaving-depth

   o  sprop-level-parameter-sets

   o  sprop-max-don-diff

   o  sprop-parameter-sets

   o  use-level-src-parameter-sets

   Note that the max-cpb and max-dpb format parameters for H.264
   correspond to restrictions on the stream, but they are specific to
   the way the H.264 codec operates, and do not have codec-independent
   equivalents.

   The following codec format parameters correspond to restrictions on
   receiver capabilities, and never indicate sending restrictions.

8.2.1.  profile-level-id and max-recv-level - Negotiated Sub-Profile

   These parameters include a "level" indicator, which acts as an index
   into Table A-1 of [H264].  This table contains a number of
   parameters, several of which correspond to the restrictions defined
   in this document.  [RFC6184] also defines format parameters for the
   H.264 codec that may increase the maximum values indicated by the
   negotiated level.  The following sections describe the interaction
   between these parameters and the restrictions defined by this
   document.  In all cases, the H.264 parameters being discussed are the
   maximum of those indicated by [H264] Table A-1 and those indicated in
   the corresponding "a=fmtp" line.

8.2.2.  max-br / MaxBR - Maximum Video Bitrate

   The H.264 "MaxBR" parameter (and its equivalent "max-br" format
   parameter) corresponds to the "max-bps" restriction defined in this
   specification, by way of a conversion factor of 1000 or 1200; see
   [RFC6184] for details regarding which factor gets used under
   differing circumstances.

Internet-Draft              RTP Restrictions                   July 2017


   If an RTP sender is generating a stream using a format defined with
   this format parameter, and the sending restrictions defined via
   "a=rid" include a "max-fps" parameter, then the sent stream will
   conform to the smaller of the two values - that is:

     min(rid_max_br, h264_MaxBR * conversion_factor)

8.2.3.  max-fs / MaxFS - Maximum Framesize, in H.264 Macroblocks

   The H.264 "MaxFs" parameter (and its equivalent "max-fs" format
   parameter) corresponds roughly to the "max-fs" restriction defined in
   this document, by way of a conversion factor of 256 (the number of
   pixels per macroblock).

   If an RTP sender is generating a stream using a format defined with
   this format parameter, and the sending restrictions defined via
   "a=rid" include a "max-fs" parameter, then the sent stream will
   conform to the smaller of the two values - that is:

     min(rid_max_fs, h264_MaxFs * 256)

8.2.4.  max-mbps / MaxMBPS - Maximum Macroblock Processing Rate

   The H.264 "MaxMBPS" parameter (and its equivalent "max-mbps" format
   parameter) corresponds roughly to the "max-pps" restriction defined
   in this document, by way of a conversion factor of 256 (the number of
   pixels per macroblock).

   If an RTP sender is generating a stream using a format defined with
   this format parameter, and the sending restrictions defined via
   "a=rid" include a "max-pps" parameter, then the sent stream will
   conform to the smaller of the two values - that is:

     min(rid_max_pps, h264_MaxMBPS * 256)

8.2.5.  max-smbps - Maximum Decoded Picture Buffer

   The H.264 "max-smbps" format parameter operates the same way as the
   "max-mpbs" format parameter, under the hypothetical assumption that
   all macroblocks are static macroblocks.  It is handled by applying
   the conversion factor described in Section 8.1 of [RFC6184], and the
   result of this conversion is applied as described in Section 8.2.4.

9.  Format Parameters for Future Payloads

   Registrations of future RTP payload format specifications that define
   media types that have parameters matching the RID restrictions
   specified in this memo SHOULD name those parameters in a manner that

   matches the names of those RID restrictions, and SHOULD explicitly
   state what media type parameters are restricted by what RID
   restrictions.

11.  SDP Examples

   Note: see [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-simulcast] for examples of RID used in
   simulcast scenarios.

11.1.  Many Bundled Streams using Many Codecs

   In this scenario, the offerer supports the Opus, G.722, G.711 and
   DTMF audio codecs, and VP8, VP9, H.264 (CBP/CHP, mode 0/1), H.264-SVC
   (SCBP/SCHP) and H.265 (MP/M10P) for video.  An 8-way video call (to a
   mixer) is supported (send 1 and receive 7 video streams) by offering
   7 video media sections (1 sendrecv at max resolution and 6 recvonly
   at smaller resolutions), all bundled on the same port, using 3
   different resolutions.  The resolutions include:

   o  1 receive stream of 720p resolution is offered for the active
      speaker.

   o  2 receive streams of 360p resolution are offered for the prior 2
      active speakers.

   o  4 receive streams of 180p resolution are offered for others in the
      call.

   NOTE: The SDP given below skips a few lines to keep the example short
   and focused, as indicated by either the "..." or the comments
   inserted.

   The offer for this scenario is shown below.

11.2.  Scalable Layers

   Adding scalable layers to a session within a multiparty conference
   gives a selective forwarding unit (SFU) further flexibility to
   selectively forward packets from a source that best match the
   bandwidth and capabilities of diverse receivers.  Scalable encodings
   have dependencies between layers, unlike independent simulcast
   streams.  RIDs can be used to express these dependencies using the
   "depend" restriction.  In the example below, the highest resolution
   is offered to be sent as 2 scalable temporal layers (using MRST).
   See [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-simulcast] for additional detail about
   simulcast usage.

12.  IANA Considerations

   This specification updates [RFC4855] to give additional guidance on
   choice of Format Parameter (fmtp) names, and on their relation to RID
   restrictions.

12.1.  New SDP Media-Level attribute

   This document defines "rid" as SDP media-level attribute.  This
   attribute must be registered by IANA under "Session Description
   Protocol (SDP) Parameters" under "att-field (media level only)".

   The "rid" attribute is used to identify properties of RTP stream with
   in a RTP Session.  Its format is defined in Section 10.

   The formal registration information for this attribute follows.

        The attribute is not dependent on charset.

      A one-paragraph explanation of the purpose of the attribute

        The "rid" SDP attribute is used to to unambiguously identify
        the RTP Streams within a RTP Session and restrict the
        streams' payload format parameters in a codec-agnostic way
        beyond what is provided with the regular Payload Types.

        Valid values are defined by the ABNF in [RFCXXXXX]

12.2.  Registry for RID-Level Parameters

   This specification creates a new IANA registry named "att-field (rid
   level)" within the SDP parameters registry.  The "a=rid" restrictions
   MUST be registered with IANA and documented under the same rules as
   for SDP session-level and media-level attributes as specified in
   [RFC4566].

   Parameters for "a=rid" lines that modify the nature of encoded media
   MUST be of the form that the result of applying the modification to
   the stream results in a stream that still complies with the other

   parameters that affect the media.  In other words, restrictions
   always have to restrict the definition to be a subset of what is
   otherwise allowable, and never expand it.

   New restriction registrations are accepted according to the
   "Specification Required" policy of [RFC5226], provided that the
   specification includes the following information:

   o  contact name, email address, and telephone number

   o  restriction name (as it will appear in SDP)

   o  long-form restriction name in English

   o  whether the restriction value is subject to the charset attribute

   o  an explanation of the purpose of the restriction

   o  a specification of appropriate attribute values for this
      restriction

   o  an ABNF definition of the restriction

   The initial set of "a=rid" restriction names, with definitions in
   Section 5 of this document, is given below:

      Type            SDP Name                     Reference
      ----            ------------------           ---------
      att-field       (rid level)
                      max-width                     [RFCXXXX]
                      max-height                    [RFCXXXX]
                      max-fps                       [RFCXXXX]
                      max-fs                        [RFCXXXX]
                      max-br                        [RFCXXXX]
                      max-pps                       [RFCXXXX]
                      max-bpp                       [RFCXXXX]
                      depend                        [RFCXXXX]


   It is conceivable that a future document wants to define a RID-level
   restrictions that contain string values.  These extensions need to
   take care to conform to the ABNF defined for rid-param-other.  In
   particular, this means that such extensions will need to define
   escaping mechanisms if they want to allow semicolons, unprintable
   characters, or byte values greater than 127 in the string.

13.  Security Considerations

   As with most SDP parameters, a failure to provide integrity
   protection over the "a=rid" attributes provides attackers a way to
   modify the session in potentially unwanted ways.  This could result
   in an implementation sending greater amounts of data than a recipient
   wishes to receive.  In general, however, since the "a=rid" attribute
   can only restrict a stream to be a subset of what is otherwise
   allowable, modification of the value cannot result in a stream that
   is of higher bandwidth than would be sent to an implementation that
   does not support this mechanism.

   The actual identifiers used for RIDs are expected to be opaque.  As
   such, they are not expected to contain information that would be
   sensitive, were it observed by third-parties.

   Many thanks to review from Cullen Jennings, Magnus Westerlund, and
   Paul Kyzivat.  Thanks to Colin Perkins for input on future payload
   type handing.
