Network Working Group S. Nandakumar Internet-Draft Cisco Intended status: Standards Track October 18, 2013 Expires: April 21, 2014 A Framework for SDP Attributes when Multiplexing draft-nandakumar-mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes-05 Abstract The Session Description Protocol (SDP) provides mechanisms to describe attributes of multimedia sessions and of individual media streams (e.g., Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) sessions) within a multimedia session. In the RTCWeb WG, there is a need to use a single 5-tuple for sending and receiving media associated with multiple media descriptions ("m=" lines). Such a requirement has raised concerns over the semantic implications of the SDP attributes associated with the RTP Sessions multiplexed over a single transport layer flow. The scope of this specification is to provide a framework for analyzing the multiplexing characteristics of SDP attributes. The specification also categorizes existing attributes based on the framework described herein.

Introduction Real-Time Communication Web (RTCWeb) framework requires Real-time Transport Protocol as the media transport protocol and Session Description Protocol (SDP) [RFC4566] for describing and negotiating multi-media communication sessions. SDP defines several attributes for capturing characteristics that apply to the individual media descriptions (described by "m=" lines") and the overall multimedia session. Typically different media types (audio, video etc) described using different media descriptions represent separate RTP Sessions that are carried over individual transport layer flows. However, in the RTCWeb WG, a requirement has arisen to multiplex several RTP Sessions over a single transport layer flow. This in turn has made necessary to understand the interpretation and usage of the SDP attributes defined for the multiplexed media descriptions. Given the number of SDP attributes registered with the IANA [IANA] and possibility of new attributes being defined in the future, there is need for generic future-proof framework to analyze these attributes for their applicability in the transport multiplexing use- cases. The document starts with providing the motivation for requiring such a framework. This is followed by introduction to the SDP attribute analysis framework/procedures, following which several sections applies the framework to the SDP attributes registered with the IANA [IANA] 2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 3. Motivation The time and complications of setting up ICE [RFC5245] and DTLS-SRTP [RFC5763] transports for use by RTP, and conservation of ports, forms an requirement to try and reduce the number of transport level flows needed. This has resulted in the definition of ways, such as, [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] and [I-D.ietf-avt-multiplexing-rtp] to multiplex RTP over a single transport flow in order to preserve network resources such as port numbers. This imposes further restrictions on applicability of these Nandakumar Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 5] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing October 2013 SDP attributes as they are defined today. The specific problem is that there are attribute combinations which make sense when specified on independent m-lines -- as with classical SDP -- that do not make sense when those m-lines are then multiplexed over the same transport. To give an obvious example, ICE permits each m-mline to have an independently specified ice-ufrag attribute. However, if the media from multiple m-lines is multiplexed over the same ICE component, then the meaning of media-level ice-ufrag attributes becomes muddled. As of today there are close to 250 SDP attributes registered with the IANA [IANA] and more will be added in the future. There is no clearly defined procedure to establish the validity/applicability of these attribute when used with transport multiplexing. 4. SDP Attribute Analysis Framework Attributes in an SDP session description can be defined at the session-level and media-level. These attributes could be semantically grouped as noted below. o Attributes related to media content such as media type, encoding schemes, payload types. o Attributes specifying media transport characteristics like RTP/ RTCP port numbers, network addresses, QOS. o Metadata description attributes capturing session timing and origin information. o Attributes establishing relationships between media streams such as grouping framework With the above semantic grouping as the reference, the proposed framework classifies each attribute into one of the following categories: NORMAL Attributes that can be independently specified when multiplexing and retain their original semantics. In the example given below, the direction and label attributes are independently specified for audio and video m=lines. These attributes are not impacted by multiplexing these media streams over a single transport layer flow.

Attributes such as rtcp-mux fall into this category. Since RTCP reporting is done per RTP Session, there is no way to receive RTCP control data for the video m=line in the example below. Hence rtcp-mux MUST be repeated for the video m=line as well, when multiplexed. Nandakumar Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 7] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing October 2013 v=0 o=bob 2890844527 2890844527 IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com s= c=IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com t=0 0 m=audio 34567 RTP/AVP 97 a=rtcp-mux m=video 34567 RTP/AVP 31 a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000 a=rtcp-mux SUM Attributes can be set as they are normally used but software using them in a multiplex case, MUST apply the sum of all the attributes being multiplexed instead of trying to use each one. This is typically used for bandwidth or other rate limiting attributes to the underlining transport. The software parsing the SDP sample below, should use the aggregate Application Specific (AS) bandwidth value from the individual media descriptions to determine the AS value for the multiplexed session. Thus the calculated AS value would be 256+64 bytes for the given example. v=0 o=mhandley 2890844526 2890842807 IN IP4 126.16.64.4 c=IN IP4 client.biloxi.example.com t=0 0 m=audio 49170 RTP/AVP 0 b=AS:64 m=video 51372 RTP/AVP 31 b=AS:256 TRANSPORT Attributes that can be set normally for multiple items in a multiplexed group but the software MUST pick just one of the attribute of the given type for use. The one chosen is the attribute associated with the "m=" line that represents the information being used for the transport of the RTP. In the example below, "a=crypto" attribute is defined for both the audio and the video m=lines. The video media line's a=crypto attribute is chosen since its mid value (bar) appears first in the a=group:BUNDLE line. This is due to BUNDLE grouping semantic [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] which mandates the values from m=line corresponding to the mid appearing first on the a=group:BUNDLE line to be considered for setting up the RTP Transport.

As an example, for the attribute extmap, the specification defining the extension MUST be referred to understand the multiplexing implications. TBD This category defines attributes that need more information to assign an appropriate category. The idea behind these categories is to provide recommendations for using the attributes under RTP session multiplexing scenarios. Section 5 analyzes attributes listed in IANA [IANA] grouped under the IETF document that defines them. The "Level" column indicates whether the attribute is currently specified as: o S -- Session level o M -- Media level o B -- Both o SR -- Source-level (for a single SSRC) 5.

Scenario1: Payload Types are not shared and rtcp-fb is mandated for all the multiplexed m=lines. This scenario leads into assigning category "NOT IMPACTED" for rtcp-fb and its paramters since RTCP reporting happens per PayloadType with in a BUNDLED RTP Session, thus allowing for unique reporting. a=group:BUNDLE audio video m=audio 3456 RTP/AVP 97 a=mid:audio a=rtpmap:97 iLBC/8000 m=video 3456 RTP/AVP 98 a=mid:video a=rtpmap:98 VP8/90000 a-rtcp-fb:98 nack rpsi Scenario2: Payload Types are shared and rtcp-fb is repeated across all the multiplexed m= lines with same feedback type (nack). This leads to assigning category "IDENTICAL" to rtcp-fb which allows NACK and NACK RPSI reporting to be done for PT 98 in this example.

What does it mean if PTs are shared in the context of rtcp-fb ??. Magnus pointed out that RTCP FB reporting MUST happen per (PT+Media Source) when BUNDLED. If this is allowed, the category of "IDENTICAL" applies with rtcp-fb for all m= lines and update BUNDLE spec to mandate the behavior. Does this sound fine ? 5.3.

RFC5762 [RFC5762] specifies a mapping of RTP onto DCCP, along with associated signalling, such that real-time applications can make use of the services provided by DCCP Nandakumar Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 14] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing October 2013 +--------------------+---------------------+---------+--------------+ | Name | Notes | Current | Category | +--------------------+---------------------+---------+--------------+ | dccp-service-code | If RFC 6773 is not | M | NOT | | | being used in | | RECOMMENDED | | | addition to RFC | | | | | 5762, the port in | | | | | the m= line is a | | | | | DCCP port.

Although doing so might conflict with the media type of the m= line. None of this is standardised yet and it wouldn't work as explained. Hence multiplexing MUST NOT be performed even in this alternate scenario. 5.8. RFC6773 - DCCP-UDP Encapsulation RFC6773 [RFC6773] document specifies an alternative encapsulation of the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), referred to as DCCP- UDP.

RFC6787 - Media Resource Control Protocol Version 2 The Media Resource Control Protocol Version 2 (MRCPv2) allows client hosts to control media service resources such as speech synthesizers, recognizers, verifiers, and identifiers residing in servers on the network. MRCPv2 is not a "stand-alone" protocol -- it relies on other protocols, such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), to coordinate MRCPv2 clients and servers and manage sessions between them, and the Session Description Protocol (SDP) to describe, discover, and exchange capabilities. It also depends on SIP and SDP to establish the media sessions and associated parameters between the media source or sink and the media server. Once this is done, the MRCPv2 exchange operates over the control session established above, allowing the client to control the media processing resources on the speech resource server. RFC6787 [RFC6787] defines attributes for this purpose. +-----------+---------------+-------+----------+ | Name | Notes | Level | Category | +-----------+---------------+-------+----------+ | resource | Not Impacted | M | NORMAL | | | | | | | channel | Not Impacted | M | NORMAL | | | | | | | | Not Impacted | M | NORMAL | | | | | | +-----------+---------------+-------+----------+ RFC6787 Attribute Analysis Nandakumar Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 16] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing October 2013 5.11.

Lennox suggested to possible options to deal with it. The simpler is to say that individual SSRC values in a=ssrc attributes MUST NOT be repeated across bundled m-lines, but other than that the behavior is normal. The more complicated is to say that SSRC attributes MAY be repeated across bundled m-lines, iff the media stream satisfies more than one m-line. In this case, it's up to the individual source attributes to define what's allowed. Should BUNDLE allow SSRCs to be repeated ? If so, should the category for the source attributes be SPECIAL and update RFC5576 to add text to define multiplexing scenarios. 5.15.

For AAL1, AAL2 and AAL5, bearer connections can be used to transport single media streams. In addition, for AAL1 and AAL2, multiple media streams may be multiplexed into a bearer connection. For all adaptation types (AAL1, AAL2 and AAL5), bearer connections may be bundled into a single media group. In all cases addressed by RFC3108, a real-time media stream (voice, video, voiceband data, pseudo-wire and others) or a multiplex of media streams is mapped directly into an ATM connection. RFC3108 does not address cases where ATM serves as a low-level transport pipe for IP packets which in turn may carry one or more real-time (e.g. VoIP) media sessions with a life-cycle different from that of the underlying ATM transport. 5.40. 3GPP TS 24.182 3GPP TS 24.182 [3GPP TS 24.182] specifies IP multimedia subsystem Custom Alerting tones +-------------+----------------------------------+-------+----------+ | Name | Notes | Level | Category | +-------------+----------------------------------+-------+----------+ | g.3gpp.cat | Usage defined for the IP | M | NORMAL | | | Multimedia Subsystem | | | | | | | | +-------------+----------------------------------+-------+----------+ 3GPP TS 24.182 Attribute Analysis Nandakumar Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 35] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing October 2013 5.41. 3GPP TS 24.183 3GPP TS 24.183 [3GPP TS 24.183]specifies IP multimedia subsystem Custom Ringing Signal +-------------+----------------------------------+-------+----------+ | Name | Notes | Level | Category | +-------------+----------------------------------+-------+----------+ | g.3gpp.crs | Usage defined for the IP | M | NORMAL | | | Multimedia Subsystem | | | | | | | | +-------------+----------------------------------+-------+----------+ 3GPP TS 24.183 Attribute Analysis 5.42. 3GPP TS 24.229 3GPP TS 24.229 [3GPP TS 24.229]IP multimedia call control protocol based on Session Initial protocol and Session Description Protocol. +------------------+---------------------------+-------+------------+ | Name | Notes | Level | Category | +------------------+---------------------------+-------+------------+ | secondary-realm | Per media-level attribute | M | TRANSPORT | | | MUST be used per | | | | | underlying transport | | | | | | | | | visited-realm | Per media-level attribute | M | TRANSPORT | | | MUST be used per | | | | | underlying transport | | | | | | | | | omr-m-cksum | Not Impacted | M | NORMAL | | | | | | | omr-s-cksum | Not Impacted | M | NORMAL | | | | | | | omr-m-att | Not Impacted | M | NORMAL | | | | | | | omr-s-bw | Not Impacted | M | NORMAL | | | | | | | omr-s-bw | Not Impacted | M | NORMAL | | | | | | | omr-m-att | Not Impacted | M | NORMAL | | | | | | | omr-codecs | Not Impacted | M | NORMAL | | | | | | +------------------+---------------------------+-------+------------+ 3GPP TS 24.229 Attribute Analysis Nandakumar Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 36] Internet-Draft SDP Attribute Multiplexing October 2013 5.43.

Summing TIAS values independently across m=lines and multiplying the computed sum with maxprate and the per-packet overhead would inflate the value significantly. Instead performing multiplication and adding the individual values is a more appropriate usage.
