Hi,

The first thing we need to make clear, because it has caused some confusion in the past, is whether a "media description" only covers the m- line, OR whether it covers the m- line AND each SDP attribute (a- line) associated with it.

BUNDLE says the following:

     "m=" section: SDP bodies contain one or more media descriptions,
     referred to as "m=" sections.  Each "m=" section is represented by
     an SDP "m=" line, and zero or more SDP attributes associated with
     the "m=" line.  A local address:port combination is assigned to
     each "m=" section.

...which doesn't provide any semantics, but does indicate that the attributes are part of the media description.

After a quick scan through BUNDLE, I couldn't find any semantics, other than a media description is used to "describe media".

But, BUNDLE also says that BUNDLE is used for "using a single transport for sending and receiving media associated with SDP multiple media descriptions".

So, while I don't have exact wording at the moment, my suggestion would be to say that an SDP media description describes a TRANSPORT for a media flow, or something like that... 

Regards,

Christer

    I am okay with either of those. :-)
