Session Description Protocol (SDP) Media Capabilities Negotiation
Abstract
Session Description Protocol (SDP) capability negotiation provides a
general framework for indicating and negotiating capabilities in SDP.
The base framework defines only capabilities for negotiating
transport protocols and attributes. This documents extends the
framework by defining media capabilities that can be used to
negotiate media types and their associated parameters.
This document updates the IANA Considerations of RFC 5939.
