I would rather not define it in terms of other undefined things. So I 
have a problem with "data flow".

It clearly has to do with a network connection, but only defines half of 
one.

When used with O/A, it defines only the receiving end of a connection, 
while with declarative SDP it defines both a sending and receiving end.

And while the c= line and the port from the m= line typically specify 
part of a *transport* protocol, the intent in the proto and fmt is to 
identify an application level protocol.
