            A Framework for SDP Attributes when Multiplexing
                draft-ietf-mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes-05

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
   underlying transport layer flow.

   The scope of this specification is to provide a framework for
   analyzing the multiplexing characteristics of SDP attributes.  This
   specification also categorizes the existing SDP attributes based on
   the framework described herein.

1.  Introduction

   Real-Time Communication in WEB-browsers (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 for 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
   the interpretation and usage of the SDP attributes defined for the
   multiplexed media descriptions.

   Given the number of SDP attributes registered with the [IANA] and
   possibility of new attributes being defined in the future, there is

   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].

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] 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] 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.

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.

Internet-Draft         SDP Attribute Multiplexing          November 2014


   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 a reference, the proposed
   framework classifies each attribute into one of the following
   categories:

4.1.  Category: NORMAL

   Attributes that can be independently specified when multiplexing and
   retain their original semantics.

   In the example given below, the direction and label attributes are
   independently specified for audio and video m=lines.  These
   attributes are not impacted by multiplexing these media streams over
   a single transport layer flow.

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.

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 be enabled
   for both the audio and video m=lines if they are transported over a
   single 5-tuple.

4.4.  Category: SUM

   Attributes can be set as they are normally used but software using
   them in the multiplexing scenario, MUST apply the sum of all the
   attributes being multiplexed instead of trying to use them
   independently.  This is typically used for bandwidth or other rate
   limiting attributes to the underlying transport.

   The software parsing the SDP sample below, should use the aggregate
   Application Specific (AS) bandwidth value from the individual media
   descriptions to determine the AS value for the multiplexed session.
   Thus the calculated AS value would be 256+64 bytes for the given
   example.

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.

4.6.  Category: INHERIT

   Attributes that encapsulate other SDP attributes or parameters.
   These attributes inherit their multiplexing characteristics from the
   attributes or parameters they encapsulate.  Such attributes 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.

   The inheritance manifests itself when the encapsulated attribute or
   parameter is being leveraged.  In the case of SDP Capability
   Negotiation [RFC5939] for example, this occurs when a capability
   (encapsulating attribute) is used as part of a configuration; the
   configuration inherits the multiplexing category of each of its
   constituent (encapsulated) attributes and parameters.  This in turn
   may place constraints on what constitutes a valid configuration from
   a multiplexing point of view, e.g. because some attributes must be
   IDENTICAL (see Section 14 for further details).

          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.

4.7.  Category: IDENTICAL-PER-PT

   Attributes that define the RTP payload configuration on per Payload
   Type basis and MUST have identical values across all the media
   descriptions for a given RTP Payload Type when repeated.  These
   Payload Types identify the same codec configuration as defined in the
   Section 10.1.2 of [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] under this
   context.

4.8.  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.

4.9.  Category: TBD

   Attributes that have not been analyzed under the proposed
   multiplexing framework yet.  For the purposes of implementations it
   is advised to consider "NOT RECOMMENDED" as the category when
   multiplexing these attributes.

5.  Analysis of Existing Attributes

   This section analyzes attributes listed in [IANA], grouped under the
   IETF document that defines them.

   The "Level" column indicates whether the attribute is currently
   specified as:

   o  S -- Session level

   o  M -- Media level

   o  B -- Both

   o  SR -- Source-level (for a single SSRC)

   The "Mux Category" column identifies multiplexing category assigned
   per attribute and the "Notes" column captures additional informative
   details regarding the assigned category, wherever necessary.

5.1.  RFC4566 - SDP: Session Description Protocol

   [RFC4566] defines the Session Description Protocol (SDP) that is
   intended for describing multimedia sessions for the purposes of
   session announcement, session invitation, and other forms of
   multimedia session initiation.

   If RFC6773 is being used in addition to RFC5762 and provided that
   DCCP-in-UDP layer has additional demultiplexing, then it may be
   possible to use different DCCP service codes for each DCCP flow,
   given each uses a different DCCP port.  Although doing so might
   conflict with the media type of the "m=" line.  None of this is
   standardized yet and it wouldn't work as explained.  Hence
   multiplexing MUST NOT be performed even in this alternate scenario.

5.9.  RFC6773 - DCCP-UDP Encapsulation

   This encapsulation allows DCCP to be carried through the current
   generation of Network Address Translation (NAT) middle boxes without
   modification of those middle boxes.

   Since RFC6773 is about tunneling DCCP in UDP, with the UDP port being
   the port of the DCCP en-/de-capsulation service.  This encapsulation
   allows arbitrary DCCP packets to be encapsulated and the DCCP port
   chosen MAY conflict with the port chosen for the RTP traffic.

   For multiplexing several DCCP-in-UDP encapsulations on the same UDP
   port, with no RTP traffic on the same port implies collapsing several
   DCCP port spaces together.  This MAY or MAY NOT work depending on the
   nature of DCCP encapsulations and ports choses thus rendering it to
   be very application dependent.

   The Media Resource Control Protocol Version 2 (MRCPv2) allows client
   hosts to control media service resources such as speech synthesizers,
   recognizers, verifiers, and identifiers residing in servers on the
   network.  MRCPv2 is not a "stand-alone" protocol -- it relies on
   other protocols, such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), to
   coordinate MRCPv2 clients and servers and manage sessions between
   them, and the Session Description Protocol (SDP) to describe,
   discover, and exchange capabilities.  It also depends on SIP and SDP
   to establish the media sessions and associated parameters between the
   media source or sink and the media server.  Once this is done, the
   MRCPv2 exchange operates over the control session established above,
   allowing the client to control the media processing resources on the
   speech resource server.  [RFC6787] defines attributes for this
   purpose.

5.13.  RFC5285 - RTP Header Extensions

   [RFC5285] provides a general mechanism to use the header extension
   feature of RTP (the Real-Time Transport Protocol).  It provides the
   option to use a small number of small extensions in each RTP packet,
   where the universe of possible extensions is large and registration
   is de-centralized.  The actual extensions in use in a session are
   signaled in the setup information for that session.

5.14.  RFC3605 - RTCP attribute in SDP

   Originally, SDP assumed that RTP and RTCP were carried on consecutive

   [RFC5576] defines a mechanism to describe RTP media sources, which
   are identified by their synchronization source (SSRC) identifiers, in
   SDP, to associate attributes with these sources, and to express
   relationships among sources.  It also defines several source-level
   attributes that can be used to describe properties of media sources.

5.17.  RFC6236 - Image Attributes in SDP

   [RFC6236] proposes a new generic session setup attribute to make it
   possible to negotiate different image attributes such as image size.
   A possible use case is to make it possible for a low-end hand-held
   terminal to display video without the need to rescale the
   image,something that may consume large amounts of memory and
   processing power.  The document also helps to maintain an optimal
   bitrate for video as only the image size that is desired by the
   receiver is transmitted.

5.20.  RFC6285 - Rapid Acquisition of Multicast RTP Sessions

   [RFC6285] describes a method using the existing RTP and RTP Control
   Protocol (RTCP) machinery that reduces the acquisition delay.  In
   this method, an auxiliary unicast RTP session carrying the Reference
   Information to the receiver precedes or accompanies the multicast
   stream.  This unicast RTP flow can be transmitted at a faster than
   natural bitrate to further accelerate the acquisition.  The
   motivating use case for this capability is multicast applications
   that carry real-time compressed audio and video.

                       RFC6871 - Attribute Analysis

   The "sescap" attribute is NOT RECOMMENDED for use with multiplexing.
   The reason is that it requires the use of unique configuration
   numbers across the entire SDP (per [RFC6871]) as opposed to within a
   media description only (per [RFC5939]).  As described in Section 14,
   the use of identical configuration numbers between multiplexed
   (bundled) media descriptions is the default way of indicating
   compatible configurations in a bundle.

5.34.  RFC7006 - Miscellaneous Capabilities Negotiation SDP

   [RFC7006] extends the SDP capability negotiation framework to allow
   endpoints to negotiate three additional SDP capabilities.  In
   particular, this memo provides a mechanism to negotiate bandwidth
   ("b=" line), connection data ("c=" line), and session or media titles
   ("i=" line for each session or media).

   certificate that will be presented for the TLS session.  This
   mechanism allows media transport over TLS connections to be

   (SDP) to express one or more source addresses as a source filter for
   one or more destination "connection" addresses.  It defines the
   syntax and semantics for an SDP "source-filter" attribute that may
   reference either IPv4 or IPv6 address(es) as either an inclusive or
   exclusive source list for either multicast or unicast destinations.
   In particular, an inclusive source-filter can be used to specify a
   Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) session.

5.38.  RFC6128 - RTCP Port for Multicast Sessions

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

                        RFC3108 Attribute Analysis

   RFC3108 describes conventions for using the Session Description
   Protocol (SDP) for characterizing ATM bearer connections using an
   AAL1, AAL2 or AAL5 adaptation layers.  For AAL1, AAL2 and AAL5,
   bearer connections can be used to transport single media streams.  In
   addition, for AAL1 and AAL2, multiple media streams may be
   multiplexed into a bearer connection.  For all adaptation types
   (AAL1, AAL2 and AAL5), bearer connections may be bundled into a
   single media group.  In all cases addressed by RFC3108, a real-time
   media stream (voice, video, voiceband data, pseudo-wire and others)
   or a multiplex of media streams is mapped directly into an ATM
   connection.  RFC3108 does not address cases where ATM serves as a
   low-level transport pipe for IP packets which in turn may carry one
   or more real-time (e.g.  VoIP) media sessions with a life-cycle
   different from that of the underlying ATM transport.

   Independent Application Specific Maximum (TIAS) bandwidth modifier
   that does not include transport overhead; instead an additional
   packet rate attribute is defined.  The transport independent bit-rate

   value together with the maximum packet rate can then be used to
   calculate the real bit-rate over the transport actually used.

                          RFC3890 bwtype Analysis

   The intention of TIAS is that the media level bit-rate is multiplied
   with the known per-packet overhead for the selected transport and the
   maxprate value to determine the worst case bit-rate from the
   transport to more accurately capture the required usage.  Summing
   TIAS values independently across m=lines and multiplying the computed
   sum with maxprate and the per-packet overhead would inflate the value
   significantly.  Instead performing multiplication and adding the
   individual values is a more appropriate usage.

7.5.  RFC6642 - Third-Party Loss Report

   In a large RTP session using the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) feedback
   mechanism defined in [RFC4585], a feedback target may experience
   transient overload if some event causes a large number of receivers
   to send feedback at once.  This overload is usually avoided by
   ensuring that feedback reports are forwarded to all receivers,
   allowing them to avoid sending duplicate feedback reports.  However,
   there are cases where it is not recommended to forward feedback
   reports, and this may allow feedback implosion.  [RFC6642] memo
   discusses these cases and defines a new RTCP Third-Party Loss Report
   that can be used to inform receivers that the feedback target is
   aware of some loss event, allowing them to suppress feedback.
   Associated Session Description Protocol (SDP) signaling is also
   defined.

   are associated in the same group, and they provide support for
   additive repair flows.  SSRC-level (Synchronization Source) grouping
   semantics are also defined in this document for Real-time Transport
   Protocol (RTP) streams using SSRC multiplexing.

13.  Payload Formats

13.1.  RFC5109 - RTP Payload Format for Generic FEC

   [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.

   with that.

14.  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.

Internet-Draft         SDP Attribute Multiplexing          November 2014


   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.

14.1.  RFC3407 - cpar Attribute Analysis

   [RFC3407] capability parameter attribute (a=cpar) encapsulates b=
   (bandwidth) or an a= attribute.  For bandwidth attribute
   encapsulation, the category SUM is inherited.  For the case of a=
   attribute, the category corresponding to the SDP attribute being
   encapsulated is inherited.

    v=0
    o=alice 2890844526 2890844527 IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com
    s=
    c=IN IP4 host.atlanta.example.com
    t=0 0
    m=video 3456 RTP/AVP 100
    a=rtpmap:100 VP8/90000
    a=sqn: 0
    a=cdsc: 1 video RTP/AVP 100
    a=cpar: a=rtcp-mux
    m=video 3456 RTP/AVP 101
    a=rtpmap:101 VP8/90000
    a=fmtp:100 max-fr=15;max-fs=1200
    a=cdsc: 2 video RTP/AVP 101
    a=cpar: a=rtcp-mux

   In the above example ,the category IDENTICAL is inherited for the
   cpar encapsulated rtcp-mux attribute.

14.2.  RFC5939 Analysis

   [RFC5939] defines a general SDP capability negotiation framework.  It
   also specifies how to provide transport protocols and SDP attributes
   as capabilities and negotiate them using the framework.

   For this purpose, [RFC5939] defines the following

   o  A set of capabilities for the session and its associated media
      stream components, supported by each side.  The attribute
      ("a=acap") defines how to list an attribute name and its
      associated value (if any) as a capability.  The attribute
      ("a=tcap") defines how to list transport protocols (e.g., "RTP/
      AVP") as capabilities.

Internet-Draft         SDP Attribute Multiplexing          November 2014


   o  A set of potential configurations ("a=pcfg") provided by the
      offerer to indicate whcich combination of those capabilities can
      be used for the session and its associated media stream
      components.  Potential configurations are not ready for use until
      fully negotiated.  They provide an alternative that may be used,
      subject to SDP capability negotiation procedures.  In particular
      the answerer may choose one of the potential configurations for
      use as part of the current Offer/Answer exchange.

   o  An actual configuration ("a=acfg") for the session and its
      associated media stream components.  The actual configuration
      identifies the potential configuration that was negotiated for
      use.  Use of an actual configuration does not require any further
      negotiation.

   o  A negotiation process that takes the current actual and the set of
      potential configurations (combinations of capabilities) as input
      and provides the negotiated actual configurations as output.  In
      [RFC5939] the negotiation process is done independently for each
      media description.

14.2.1.  Recommendation - Procedures for Potential Configuration Pairing

   This section provides recommendations for entities generating and
   processing SDP under the generic capability negotiation framework as
   defined in [RFC5939] under the context of media stream multiplexing.

   These recommendations are provided for the purposes of enabling the
   Offerer to make sure that the generated potential configurations
   between the multiplexed streams can (easily) be negotiated to be
   consistent between those streams.  In particular, the procedures aim
   to simplify Answerer's procedure to choose potential configurations
   that are consistent across all the bundled media descriptions.

   A potential configuration selects a set of attributes and parameters
   that become part of the media description when negotiated.  When
   multiplexing media descriptions with potential configurations
   specified, there may be a need for coordinating this selection
   between multiplexed media descriptions ensuring right multiplexing
   behavior.

   Although it is possible to analyze the various potential
   configurations in bundled media descriptions to find combinations
   that satisfy such constraints, it can quickly become complicated to
   do so.

   The procedures defined in [RFC5939] state that each potential
   configuration in the SDP has a unique configuration number, however

   the scope of uniqueness is limited to each media description.  To
   make it simple for the answerer to chose valid combinations of
   potential configurations across media descriptions in a given bundle
   group, we provide a simple rule for constructing potential
   configurations:-

   o  Let m-bundle be the set of media descriptions that form a given
      bundle .

   o  Let m-bundle-pcfg be the set of media descriptions in m-bundle
      that include one or more potential configurations.

   o  Each media description in m-bundle-pcfg MUST have at least one
      potential configuration with the same configuration number (e.g.
      "1").

   o  For each potential configuration with configuration number x in m-
      bundle-pcfg, the offerer MUST ensure that if the answerer chooses
      configuration number x in each of the media descriptions in m-
      bundle-pcfg, then the resulting SDP will have all multiplexing
      constraints satisfied for those media descriptions.

   o  Since it is nearly impossible to define a generic mechanism for
      various capability extensions , this document does't provide
      procedures for dealing with the capability extension attributes.
      However, Section 14.3 provide analysis of media capability
      extension attributes as defined in [RFC6871].

   The above allows the answerer to easily find multiplexing compatible
   combinations of potential configurations:- The answerer simply choses
   a potential configuration (number) that is present in all of the
   media descriptions with potential configurations in the bundle.

   Note that it is still possible for the offerer to provide additional
   potential configurations with independent configuration numbers.  The
   answerer will have to perform more complicated analysis to determine
   valid multiplexed combinations of those.

14.3.  RFC6871 Analysis

   [RFC6871] extends capability negotiation framework described in
   [RFC5939] by defining media capabilities that can be used to indicate
   and negotiate media types and their associated format parameters.  It
   also allows indication of latent configurations and session
   capabilities.

14.3.1.  Recommendation: Dealing with Payload Type Numbers

   [RFC6871] defines a new payload type ("pt") parameter to be used with
   the potential, actual and latent configuration parameters.  The
   parameter associates RTP payload type numbers with the referenced
   RTP-based media format capabilities ("a=rmcap") defined in [RFC6871]
   and is appropriate only when the transport protocol uses RTP.  This
   means that the same payload type number can be assigned as part of
   potential or actual configurations in different media descriptions in
   a bundle.  There are rules for the usage of identical Payload Type
   values across multiplexed m=lines as described in
   [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation], which MUST be followed here
   as well.  As described in Section 14.2.1, the use of identical
   configuration numbers for compatible configurations in different
   media descriptions that are part of the bundle provides a way to
   ensure that the answerer can easily pick compatible configurations
   here as well.

14.3.1.1.  Example: Attribute Capability Under Shared Payload Type

   The attributes (a=rmcap, a=mfcap) follow the above recommendations
   under mutliplexing.

   a=mfcap:4 mode-change-capability=1
   a=pcfg:1 m=4 pt=4:97
   a=pcfg:4 m=5 pt=5:101


   In the example above, the potential configuration number "1" is
   repeated when referring to media and media format capability used for
   the Payload Type 97.  This implies that both the media capability 2
   and 4 along with their media format capabilities MUST refer to the
   same codec configuration , as per the definition of IDENTICAL-PER-PT.

14.3.2.  Recommendation: Dealing with Latent Configurations

   [RFC6871] adds the notion of a latent configurations, which provides
   configuration information that may be used to guide a subsequent
   offer/exchange, e.g. by adding another media stream or use
   alternative codec combinations not currently offered.  Latent
   configurations have configuration numbers which cannot overlap with
   the potential configuration numbers [RFC6871].  Supported
   combinations of potential and latent configurations are indicated by
   use of the "a=sescap" attribute, however use of this attribute is not
   recommended with bundled media, since it requires the use of unique
   configuration numbers across the SDP.  Taken together, this means
   there is no well-defined way to indicate supported combinations of

   latent configurations, or combinations of latent and potential
   configurations with bundled media.  It is still allowed to use the
   latent configuration attribute, however the limitations above will
   apply.  To determine valid combinations, actual negotiation will have
   to be attempted subsequently instead.

15.  IANA Considerations

   [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace RFCXXXX with the RFC number of this
   document.]

   The IANA is requested to add a new column named "Mux Category" to
   several of the subregistries in the "Session Description Protocol
   (SDP) Parameters" registry.  Section 15.1 defines a new subregistry
   for identifying the initial registrations for various multiplexing
   categories applicable, as proposed in this document.

   The tables in Section 15.2 identify name of an entry in the existing
   subregistry and specify the value to put in the new "Mux Category"
   column of the associated IANA registry.  Any entries in the existing
   tables that do not have a value for the "Mux Category" specified in
   this RFC will get a value of "TBD".  Future specifications can change
   the "TBD" entries to the correct value.

15.1.  New 'Multiplexing Categories' subregistry

   A new sub-registry needs to be defined called the "Multiplexing
   Categories", with the following registrations created initially:
   "NORMAL", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "IDENTICAL", "TRANSPORT", "SUM",
   "INHERIT", "IDENTICAL-PER-PT", "SPECIAL" and "TBD" as defined in this
   document.

   Initial value registration for "Multiplexing Categories".

   Further entries may be registered on a first-come first-serve basis.
   Each registration needs to indicate the multiplexing category value
   to be added to the "Multiplexing Categories" subregistry as defined
   in this section.

   Such a registration must also indicate the applicability of the newly
   defined multiplexing category value to various subregistries defined
   at "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters".

   The general registration procedures of [RFC4566] apply.

15.2.  'Mux Category' column for subregistries

   Each sub-section identifies a subregistry in the "Session Description
   Protocol (SDP) Parameters" registry.  The tables list the column that
   identifies the SDP attribute name/Token/Value from the corresponding
   subregistries and the values to be used for the new "Mux Category"
   column to be added.

15.2.1.  Table: SDP bwtype

   The following values are to be added to the 'SDP bwtype' subregistry
   in the "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters" registry.  The
   references should be updated to point at this RFC as well as the

16.  Security Considerations

   This document does not add any new security considerations beyond the
   existing considerations in the RFC for protocols that are being
   multiplexed together.

   The ways that SRTP streams are keyed is not believed to create any
   two-time pad vulnerability for the currently defined SRTP keying
   mechanism.
