Network Working Group S. Nandakumar Internet-Draft Cisco Intended status: Standards Track July 03, 2014 Expires: January 4, 2015 A Framework for SDP Attributes when Multiplexing draft-ietf-mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes-02 Abstract The Session Description Protocol (SDP) provides mechanisms to describe attributes of multimedia sessions and of individual media streams (e.g., Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) sessions) within a multimedia session. In the RTCWeb WG, there is a need to use a single 5-tuple for sending and receiving media associated with multiple media descriptions ("m=" lines). Such a requirement has raised concerns over the semantic implications of the SDP attributes associated with the RTP Media Streams multiplexed over a single transport layer flow. The scope of this specification is to provide a framework for analyzing the multiplexing characteristics of SDP attributes. The specification also categorizes existing attributes based on the framework described herein.

Introduction Real-Time Communication Web (RTCWeb) framework requires Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) as the media transport protocol and Session Description Protocol (SDP) [RFC4566] for describing and negotiating multi-media communication sessions. SDP defines several attributes for capturing characteristics that apply to the individual media descriptions (described by "m=" lines") and the overall multimedia session. Typically different media types (audio, video etc) described using different media descriptions represent separate RTP Sessions that are carried over individual transport layer flows. However in the IETF RTCWEB WG, a need to use a single 5-tuple for sending and receiving media associated with multiple SDP media descriptions ("m=" lines) has been identified. This would e.g. allow the usage of a single set of Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) [RFC5245] candidates for multiple media descriptions. This in turn has made necessary to understand Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2014 the interpretation and usage of the SDP attributes defined for the multiplexed media descriptions. Given the number of SDP attributes registered with the IANA [IANA] and possibility of new attributes being defined in the future, there is need for generic future-proof framework to analyze these attributes for their applicability in the transport multiplexing use- cases. The document starts with providing the motivation for requiring such a framework. This is followed by introduction to the SDP attribute analysis framework/procedures, following which several sections applies the framework to the SDP attributes registered with the IANA [IANA] 2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 3. Motivation The time and complications of setting up ICE [RFC5245] and DTLS-SRTP [RFC5763] transports for use by RTP, and conservation of ports, forms an requirement to try and reduce the number of transport level flows needed. This has resulted in the definition of ways, such as, [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] and [I-D.ietf-avt-multiplexing-rtp] to multiplex RTP over a single transport flow in order to preserve network resources such as port numbers. This imposes further restrictions on applicability of these SDP attributes as they are defined today. The specific problem is that there are attribute combinations which make sense when specified on independent m-lines -- as with classical SDP -- that do not make sense when those m-lines are then multiplexed over the same transport. To give an obvious example, ICE permits each m=line to have an independently specified ice-ufrag attribute. However, if the media from multiple m-lines is multiplexed over the same ICE component, then the meaning of media-level ice-ufrag attributes becomes muddled. As of today there are close to 250 SDP attributes registered with the IANA [IANA] and more will be added in the future. There is no clearly defined procedure to establish the validity/applicability of these attribute when used with transport multiplexing. Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2014 4. SDP Attribute Analysis Framework Attributes in an SDP session description can be defined at the session-level and media-level. These attributes could be semantically grouped as noted below. o Attributes related to media content such as media type, encoding schemes, payload types. o Attributes specifying media transport characteristics like RTP/ RTCP port numbers, network addresses, QOS. o Metadata description attributes capturing session timing and origin information. o Attributes establishing relationships between media streams such as grouping framework With the above semantic grouping as the reference, the proposed framework classifies each attribute into one of the following categories: 4.1. Category: NORMAL Attributes that can be independently specified when multiplexing and retain their original semantics. In the example given below, the direction and label attributes are independently specified for audio and video m=lines. These attributes are not impacted by multiplexing these media streams over a single transport layer flow. v=0 o=alice 2890844526 2890844527 IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com s= c=IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com t=0 0 m=audio 49172 RTP/AVP 99 a=sendonly a=label:1 a=rtpmap:99 iLBC/8000 m=video 49172 RTP/AVP 31 a=recvonly a=label:2 a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000 Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2014 4.2. Category: NOT RECOMMENDED Attributes that are recommended against multiplexing since their usage under multiplexing might lead to incorrect behavior. Example: Multiplexing media descriptions having attribute zrtp-hash defined with the media descriptions lacking it, would either complicate the handling of multiplexed streams or might fail multiplexing altogether. v=0 o=bob 2890844527 2890844527 IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com s= c=IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com t=0 0 m=audio 3456 RTP/AVP 97 // with zrtp a=rtpmap:97 iLBC/8000 <allOneLine> a=zrtp-hash:1.10 fe30efd02423cb054e50efd0248742ac7a52c8f91bc2 df881ae642c371ba46df </allOneLine> m=video 34567 RTP/AVP 31 //without zrtp a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000 4.3. Category: IDENTICAL Attributes that MUST be identical across all the media descriptions being multiplexed. Attributes such as rtcp-mux fall into this category. Since RTCP reporting is done per RTP Session, RTCP Multiplexing MUST to enabled for both the audio and video m=lines in the example below if they are transported over a single 5-tuple. v=0 o=bob 2890844527 2890844527 IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com s= c=IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com t=0 0 m=audio 34567 RTP/AVP 97 a=rtcp-mux m=video 34567 RTP/AVP 31 a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000 a=rtcp-mux Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2014 4.4. Category: SUM Attributes can be set as they are normally used but software using them in a multiplex case, MUST apply the sum of all the attributes being multiplexed instead of trying to use each one. This is typically used for bandwidth or other rate limiting attributes to the underlining transport. The software parsing the SDP sample below, should use the aggregate Application Specific (AS) bandwidth value from the individual media descriptions to determine the AS value for the multiplexed session. Thus the calculated AS value would be 256+64 bytes for the given example. v=0 o=mhandley 2890844526 2890842807 IN IP4 126.16.64.4 c=IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com t=0 0 m=audio 49170 RTP/AVP 0 b=AS:64 m=video 51372 RTP/AVP 31 b=AS:256 4.5. Category: TRANSPORT Attributes that can be set normally for multiple items in a multiplexed group but the software MUST pick just one of the attribute of the given type for use. The one chosen is the attribute associated with the "m=" line that represents the information being used for the transport of the RTP. In the example below, "a=crypto" attribute is defined for both the audio and the video m=lines. The video media line's a=crypto attribute is chosen since its mid value (bar) appears first in the a=group:BUNDLE line. This is due to BUNDLE grouping semantic [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] which mandates the values from m=line corresponding to the mid appearing first on the a=group:BUNDLE line to be considered for setting up the RTP Transport.

Category: INHERIT Attributes that encapsulate other SDP attributes and their multiplexing characteristics are inherited from the attributes they encapsulate. Such attributes as of today, are defined in [RFC3407], [RFC5939] and [RFC6871] as part of a generic framework for indicating and negotiating transport, media and media format related capabilities in the SDP. v=0 o=alice 2890844526 2890844527 IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com s= c=IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com t=0 0 m=video 3456 RTP/AVP 100 a=rtpmap:100 VP8/90000 a=fmtp:100 max-fr=30;max-fs=8040 a=sqn: 0 a=cdsc: 1 video RTP/AVP 100 a=cpar: a=rtcp-mux m=video 3456 RTP/AVP 101 a=rtpmap:101 VP8/90000 a=fmtp:100 max-fr=15;max-fs=1200 a=cdsc: 2 video RTP/AVP 101 a=cpar: a=rtcp-mux In the above example , the category IDENTICAL is inherited for the cpar encapsulated rtcp-mux attribute.

Category: SPECIAL Attributes where the text in the source draft must be consulted for further handling when multiplexed. As an example, for the attribute extmap, the specification defining the extension MUST be referred to understand the multiplexing implications. Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 10]

Although doing so might conflict with the media type of the m= line. None of this is standardized yet and it wouldn't work as explained. Hence multiplexing MUST NOT be performed even in this alternate scenario. 5.8. RFC6773 - DCCP-UDP Encapsulation RFC6773 [RFC6773] document specifies an alternative encapsulation of the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), referred to as DCCP- UDP.

This encapsulation allows arbitrary DCCP packets to be encapsulated and the DCCP port choosen MAY conflict with the port chosen for the RTP traffic. For multiplexing several DCCP-in-UDP encapsulations on the same UDP port, with no RTP traffic on the same port implies collapsing several DCCP port spaces together. This MAY or MAY NOT work depending on the nature of DCCP encapsulations and ports choses thus rendering it to be very application dependant. 5.9.

Payload Formats 13.1. RFC5109 - RTP Payload Format for Generic FEC RFC5109 [RFC5109] describes a payload format for generic Forward Error Correction (FEC) for media data encapsulated in RTP. It is based on the exclusive-or (parity) operation. The payload format allows end systems to apply protection using various protection lengths and levels, in addition to using various protection group sizes to adapt to different media and channel characteristics. It enables complete recovery of the protected packets or partial recovery of the critical parts of the payload depending on the packet loss situation. Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 51]

Multiplexing Media Streams and DSCP Markings Note: This section does not yet have WG consensus but is included as a proposal to the WG. There are two options being proposed, A and B. The authors suggest A. 14.1. Option A This section provides two rules for multiplexing multiple media streams with DSCP markings over a single 5-tuple. Rule 1: Media Streams with markings from different service classes MUST NOT be multiplexed. For example, a media stream with DSCP Marking EF MUST NOT be multiplexed with a media stream marked with AF class. Likewise, a media stream with DSCP marking AF3x MUST NOT be multiplexed with a media stream marked with AF4x. Rule 2: Media Streams that belong to the same service class, even with different drop precedence, MAY be multiplexed. Thus media streams that all belong to the EF group or all that belong to the AF4X class can be multiplexed. Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 52]
Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2014 For WebRTC applications following the advice in [I-D.dhesikan-tsvwg-rtcweb-qos], the above rules end up allowing the audio and video to be multiplexed in many, but not all, cases. 14.2. Option B Media Streams MAY be multiplexed regardless of what the setting of the DSCP Per Hop Behavior group (PHB). 15. Multiplexing Considerations for Encapsulating Attributes This sections deals with recommendations for defining the multiplexing characteristics of the SDP attributes that encapsulate other SDP attributes/parameters. Such attributes as of today, for example, are defined in [RFC3407], [RFC5939] and [RFC6871] as part of a generic framework for indicating and negotiating transport, media and media format related capabilities in the SDP. The behavior of such attributes under multiplexing is in turn defined by the multiplexing behavior of the attributes they encapsulate which are made known once the Offer/Answer negotiation process is completed. 15.1. RFC3407 - cpar Attribute Analysis RFC3407 capability parameter attribute (a=cpar) encapsulates b= (bandwidth) or an a= attribute. For bandwidth attribute encapsulation, the category SUM is inherited. For the case of a= attribute, the category corresponding to the SDP attribute being referenced is inherited. v=0 o=alice 2890844526 2890844527 IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com s= c=IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com t=0 0 m=video 3456 RTP/AVP 100 a=rtpmap:100 VP8/90000 a=sqn: 0 a=cdsc: 1 video RTP/AVP 100 a=cpar: a=rtcp-mux m=video 3456 RTP/AVP 101 a=rtpmap:101 VP8/90000 a=fmtp:100 max-fr=15;max-fs=1200 a=cdsc: 2 video RTP/AVP 101 a=cpar: a=rtcp-mux Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 53]
Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2014 In the above example ,the category IDENTICAL is inherited for the cpar encapsulated rtcp-mux attribute. 15.2. RFC5939 Analysis [RFC5939] defines a general SDP capability negotiation framework. It also specifies how to provide transport protocols and SDP attributes as capabilities and negotiate them using the framework. For this purpose, [RFC5939] defines the following o A set of capabilities for the session and its associated media stream components, supported by each side. The attribute ("a=acap") defines how to list an attribute name and its associated value (if any) as a capability. The attribute ("a=tcap") that defines how to list transport protocols (e.g., "RTP/AVP") as capabilities. o A set of potential configurations indicating which combinations of those capabilities can be used for the session and its associated media stream components. Potential configurations are not ready for use. Instead, they provide an alternative that may be used, subject to further negotiation. o An actual configuration for the session and its associated media stream components, that specifies which combinations of session parameters and media stream components can be used currently and with what parameters. Use of an actual configuration does not require any further negotiation. o A negotiation process that takes the set of actual and potential configurations (combinations of capabilities) as input and provides the negotiated actual configurations as output. 15.2.1. Recommendations This section provides recommendations for entities generating and processing SDP under the generic capability negotiation framework as defined in [RFC5939] under the context of media stream multiplexing. These recommendations are provided for the purposes of enabling the Offerer to make sure that the generated potential configurations between the multiplexed streams can (easily) be negotiated to be consistent between those streams. Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 54]
Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2014 15.2.1.1. Recommendation-1: Transport Capability Analysis When a transport capability is proposed as a potential configuration under a given media description, it is recommended that all the media descriptions under multiplexing have the same potential configuration number for the given transport capability. a=tcap:1 RTP/SAVPF a=tcap:2 RTP/SAVP a=group:BUNDLE audio video m= audio a=mid:audio a=pcfg:1 t=1 a=pcfg:2 m= video a=mid:video a=pcfg:1 t=1 a=pcfg:2 t=2 In the example above, the potential configurations that Offer transport protocol capability of RTP/SAVPF has the same configuration number "1" in both the audio and video media descriptions. 15.2.1.2. Recommendation-2: Attribute Capability Analysis For attribute capabilities which are offered as potential configurations that encapsulate attributes whose value MUST be IDENTICAL under multiplexing, it is recommended that all the media descriptions under multiplexing have the same potential configuration number for the given attribute capability. a=acap:1 a=rtcp-mux a=acap:2 a=crypto:1 AES_CM_128_HMAC_SHA1_80 inline:EcGZiNWpFJhQXdspcl1ekcmVCNWpVLcfHAwJSoj|2^20|1:32 a=group:BUNDLE audio video m= audio 49172 RTP/AVP 99 a=mid:audio a=pcfg:1 a=1 a=pcfg:2 m= video 560024 RTP/AVP 100 a=mid:video a=pcfg:1 a=1 a=pcfg:2 a=2 In the example above, the potential configuration number 1 is repeated while referring to attribute capability a=rtcp-mux, since the behavior is IDENTICAL for the attribute a=rtcp-mux under multiplexing. Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 55]
Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2014 15.2.1.3. Recommendation-3: Sescap Attribute Analysis It is recommended that any bundled media descriptions/configurations are also acceptable combinations of media streams/configurations as specified by "sescap" attribute. 15.2.1.4. Recommendation-4: Capability Extension Attributes Since it is nearly impossible to define a generic mechanism for various capability extensions , this document does't provide procedures for dealing with the capability extension attributes. However, Section Section 15.3 provide analysis of media capability extension attributes as defined in [RFC6871]. 15.3. RFC6871 Analysis [RFC6871] extends capability negotiation framework described in [RFC5939] by defining media capabilities that can be used to indicate and negotiate media types and their associated format parameters. Building upon the analysis from the previous section, following recommendation is provided for dealing with the attributes defined in [RFC6871] under multiplexing 15.3.1. Recommendation-5: Attribute Capability Under Shared Payload Type For attribute capabilities which are offered as potential configurations that encapsulate attributes whose value MUST be IDENTICAL-PER-PT under multiplexing, it is recommended that all the media descriptions under multiplexing have the same potential configuration number for the given attribute capability The attributes (a=rmcap, a=mfcap) follow the above recommendations under mutliplexing Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 56]

This implies that both the media capability 2 and 4 along with their media format capabilities MUST refer to the same Codec configuration , as per the definition of IDENTICAL-PER-PT 15.4. Recommendation-6: Offer/Answer Negotiation Expectations For attributes encapsulated via "a=acap", "a=omcap", "a=mscap" capability attributes and presented as part of potential/actual configurations during the Offer/Answer negotiation prodecure, the negotiation MUST ensure that the multiplexing behavior of these capabilities inherit from the behavior of the attribute being encapsulated. Example 1: Below SDP example captures the following aspects. Nandakumar Expires January 4, 2015 [Page 57]
Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing July 2014 o The Offerer offers audio and video streams with several different RTP profiles (AVP, SAVP, SAVPF) as potential configurations. o Valid Answer that corresponds to the SDP answer where the Answerer accepts RTP/SAVPF as the default profile for both the media streams. In this scenario both the media streams can be successfully multiplexed. o Invalid Answer wherein the Answerer accepts the profile RTP/SAVPF for the audio stream and RTP/AVPF for the video stream. This scenario results in the failure of the multiplexing as defined in the section 7.2 of the BUNDLE specification [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp- bundle-negotiation].
