Miscellaneous Capabilities Negotiation in the
Session Description Protocol (SDP)
Abstract
The Session Description Protocol (SDP) has been extended with a
capability negotiation mechanism framework that allows the endpoints
to negotiate transport protocols and attributes. This framework has
been extended with a media capabilities negotiation mechanism that
allows endpoints to negotiate additional media-related capabilities.
This negotiation is embedded into the widely used SDP offer/answer
procedures.
This memo 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).
