Re: [MMUSIC] RTSP 2.0 SDP issue: Directionality attribute

[Magnus Westerlund <[e-mail]>]

Dale,

Thanks for the input. I have tried to address your input in this version:

   This appendix describes how an SDP file determines the operation of
   an RTSP session.  Thus, it is worth pointing out that the
   interpretation of the SDP is done in the context of the SDP receiver,
   which is the one being configured.  This is the same as in SAP
   [RFC2974]; this differs from SDP Offer/Answer [RFC3264] where the SDP
   describes what the agent providing the SDP is ready to receive and
   willing to send.

Cheers

Magnus
