Technical Summary

This specification defines a new Session Description Protocol (SDP)
Grouping Framework extension called 'BUNDLE'. The extension can be
used with the SDP offer/answer mechanism to negotiate the usage of a
single transport (5-tuple) for sending and receiving media described
by multiple SDP media descriptions ("m=" sections). Such transport
is referred to as a BUNDLE transport, and the media is referred to as
bundled media. The "m=" sections that use the BUNDLE transport form
a BUNDLE group.

This specification defines a new RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Source
Description (SDES) item and a new RTP header extension.

This specification updates RFCs 3264, 5888, and 7941.

This specification obsoletes RFC 8843.

Working Group Summary

When RFC 8843 was published, there was a known inconsistency with JSEP (RFC 8829). This document corrects that inconsistency and incorporates two erratas as well. The nature of the update was agreed to beforehand with the RTCWeb WG and MMUSIC WG participants and the scope of the update was explicitly limited accordingly. There has been no subsequent disagreements or concerns raised.

Document Quality

The protocol is an important part of the RTCWeb suite of specifications and browser vendors have either implemented or are planning to implement the specification.

There is solid consensus behind the document, incl. overall alignment with the RTCWeb WG and the accompanying JSEP specification (RFC 8829). While the document has been formally reviewed by the MMUSIC group only, please note that there is substantial overlap between the WG participants in MMUSIC and RTCWeb and the document has been reviewed by known RTCWeb WG participants in MMUSIC. Also, the MMUSIC WG Last Call announcement was sent to the RTCWeb group mailing list.

Personnel

Flemming Andreasen is the Document Shepherd.
Murray Kucherawy is the Responsible Area Director.
