A Framework for SDP Attributes when Multiplexing
draft-nandakumar-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 Sessions 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.

Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing April 2013
1. Introduction
Real-Time Communication Web (RTCWeb) framework requires Real-time
Transport Protocol 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 RTCWeb WG, a requirement has
arisen to multiplex several RTP Sessions over a single transport
layer flow. 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 [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-mline 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.
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:
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.

NOT RECOMMENDED Attributes where multiplexing is not recommended if
these attributes are in use in the SDP since doing so MAY result
in incorrect behaviors
Example: Multiplexing media descriptions having attribute zrtp-
hash defined with the media descriptions lacking it, would either
complicate the handling of multiplexed stream or fail
multiplexing.

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, there is no way to receive RTCP
control data for the video m=line in the example below. Hence
rtcp-mux MUST be repeated for the video m=line as well, when
multiplexed.

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.

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=" lines that represents the
information being used for the transport of the RTP.
In this example, "a=crypto" attribute is defined for both the
audio and the video m=lines.The one that MUST be used for the
multiplexed RTP Session is the one that corresponds to m=line with
mid "two" even though the audio m=line with mid "one" occurs ahead
of it. This is due to BUNDLE grouping semantics
[I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] which mandates the values
from mid occurring first on the a=group:BUNDLE line to be
considered for setting up the RTP Transport.

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.
TBD This category defines attributes that need more information to
assign an appropriate category.
The idea behind these categories is to provide recommendations for
using the attributes under RTP session multiplexing scenarios.
Section 5 analyzes attributes listed in IANA [IANA] grouped under the
IETF document that defines them. The "Current" 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 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 [RFC6787] defines attributes for
this purpose.

8.4. RFC6642
In a large RTP session using the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) feedback
mechanism defined in RFC 4585 [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 [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.

10.4. RFC5956
RFC5956 [RFC5956] defines the semantics for grouping the associated
source and FEC-based (Forward Error Correction) repair flows in the
Session Description Protocol (SDP). The semantics defined in the
document are to be used with the SDP Grouping Framework (RFC 5888).
These semantics allow the description of grouping relationships
between the source and repair flows when one or more source and/or
repair flows 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.

10.5. RFC5583
RFC5583 [RFC5583] defines semantics that allow for signaling the
decoding dependency of different media descriptions with the same
media type in the Session Description Protocol (SDP). This is
required, for example, if media data is separated and transported in
different network streams as a result of the use of a layered or
multiple descriptive media coding process.

15. Payload Formats
15.1. RFC5109
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.

RFC5109 Payload Format Analysis
Draft draft-lennox-payload-ulp-ssrc-mux proposes a simple fix to make
it possible to use ULP with multipelxing and ULP is allowed when used
with that.
16. IANA Considerations
IANA shall register categories from this specification by expanding
the Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters table with a column
listing categories against each SDP parameter.
