The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'RTCP attribute in SDP' <draft-ietf-mmusic-sdp4nat-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the Multiparty Multimedia Session Control Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Jon Peterson. Technical Summary The new version of RTP (draft-ietf-avt-rtp-new-12) relaxes the requirement in 1889 that the port number used for the Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP) must be one port number higher than the port chosen for an RTP stream. Because of this, protocols like the Session Description Protocol which use RTP now need a way to explicitly specify the port that will be used for an RTCP stream corresponding to an RTP stream; previously, SDP had no need for this capability since implementations just assumed that RTP/RTCP used consecutive numbers. So, this document proposes a new SDP attribute (a=rtcp:<port>) that allows this change in RTP, and the proposed change to SDP, RTCP had a great deal of trouble traversing NATs in SDP-based applications (like SIP). The document therefore considers NAT traversal as a motivating case for the addition of this attribute. The use of this new attribute to facilitate NAT traversal is intended to be used in concert with STUN (RFC 3489). Working Group Summary The MMUSIC WG supported the advancement of this document. Protocol Quality Jon Peterson reviewed this specification for the IESG. RFC Editor Note: 2.1 The RTCP attribute last paragraph OLD: The RTCP attribute MAY be used as a media level attribute; it MUST NOT be used as a session level attribute. NEW: The RTCP attribute MAY be used as a media level attribute; it MUST NOT be used as a session level attribute. Though the examples below relate to a method that will return only unicast addresses, both unicast and multicast values are valid. _______________________________________________ mmusic mailing list mmusic@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mmusic
