Internet-Draft MSID in SDP August 2013
1. Introduction
1.1. Structure Of This Document
This document extends the SSRC grouping framework [RFC5888] by adding
a new grouping relation that can cross RTP session boundaries if
needed.
Section 1.2 gives the background on why a new mechanism is needed.
Section 2 gives the definition of the new mechanism.
Section 4 gives the application of the new mechanism for providing
necessary semantic information for the association of
MediaStreamTracks to MediaStreams in the WebRTC API .
1.2. Why A New Mechanism Is Needed
When media is carried by RTP [RFC3550], each RTP media stream is
distinguished inside an RTP session by its SSRC; each RTP session is
distinguished from all other RTP sessions by being on a different
transport association (strictly speaking, 2 transport associations,
one used for RTP and one used for RTCP, unless RTCP multiplexing
[RFC5761] is used).
SDP gives a description based on m-lines. According to the model
used in [I-D.roach-mmusic-unified-plan], each m-line describes
exactly one media source, and if mulitple media sources are carried
in an RTP session, this is signalled using BUNDLE
[I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation]; if BUNDLE is not used, each
media source is carried in its own RTP session.
There exist cases where an application using RTP and SDP needs to
signal some relationship between RTP media streams that may be
carried in either the same RTP session or different RTP sessions.
For instance, there may be a need to signal a relationship between a
video track and an audio track, and where the generator of the SDP
does not yet know if they will be carried in the same RTP session or
different RTP sessions.
The SDP grouping framework [RFC5888] can be used to group m-lines.
However, there is sometimes the need for an application to specify
some application-level information about the association between the
SSRC and the group. This is not possible using the SDP grouping
framework.

Internet-Draft MSID in SDP August 2013
1.3. Application to the WEBRTC MediaStream
The W3C WebRTC API specification [W3C.WD-webrtc-20120209] specifies
that communication between WebRTC entities is done via MediaStreams,
which contain MediaStreamTracks. A MediaStreamTrack is generally
carried using a single SSRC in an RTP session (forming an RTP media
stream. The collision of terminology is unfortunate.) There might
possibly be additional SSRCs, possibly within additional RTP
sessions, in order to support functionality like forward error
correction or simulcast. This complication is ignored below.
In the RTP specification, media streams are identified using the SSRC
field. Streams are grouped into RTP Sessions, and also carry a
CNAME. Neither CNAME nor RTP session correspond to a MediaStream.
Therefore, the association of an RTP media stream to MediaStreams
need to be explicitly signaled.
The WebRTC work has come to agreement (documented in
[I-D.roach-mmusic-unified-plan]) that one M-line is used to describe
each MediaStreamTrack, and that the BUNDLE mechanism
[I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation] is used to group
MediaStreamTracks into RTP sessions. Therefore, the need is to
specify the ID of a MediaStreamTrack and its containing MediaStream
for each M-line, which can be accomplished with a media-level
attribute.
This usage is described in Section 4.
2. The Msid Mechanism
This document registers a new SDP [RFC4566] media-level "msid"
attribute. This new attribute allows endpoints to associate RTP
media streams that are carried in the same or different m-lines, as
well as allowing application-specific information to the association.
The value of the "msid" attribute consists of an identifier and
optional application-specific data, according to the following ABNF
[RFC5234] grammar:
; "attribute" is defined in RFC 4566.
attribute =/ msid-attr
msid-attr = "msid:" identifier [ " " appdata ]
identifier = token
appdata = token
Alvestrand Expires February 14, 2014 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft MSID in SDP August 2013
An example MSID value for a group with the identifier "examplefoo"
and application data "examplebar" might look like this:
msid:examplefoo examplebar
The identifier is a string of ASCII characters chosen from 0-9, a-z,
A-Z and - (hyphen), consisting of between 1 and 64 characters. It
MUST be unique among the identifier values used in the same SDP
session. It is RECOMMENDED that is generated using a random-number
generator.
Application data is carried on the same line as the identifier,
separated from the identifier by a space.
The identifier uniquely identifies a group within the scope of an SDP
description.
There may be multiple msid attributes on a single m-line. There may
also be multiple m-lines that have the same value for identifier and
application data.
Endpoints can update the associations between SSRCs as expressed by
msid attributes at any time; the semantics and restrictions of such
grouping and ungrouping are application dependent.
3. The Msid-Semantic Attribute
In order to fully reproduce the semantics of the SDP and SSRC
grouping frameworks, a session-level attribute is defined for
signaling the semantics associated with an msid grouping.
This OPTIONAL attribute gives the group identifier and its group
semantic; it carries the same meaning as the ssrc-group-attr of RFC
5576 section 4.2, but uses the identifier of the group rather than a
list of SSRC values.
An empty list of identifiers is an indication that the sender
understands the indicated semantic, but has no msid groupings of the
given type in the present SDP.
The ABNF of msid-semantic is:
attribute =/ msid-semantic-attr
msid-semantic-attr = "msid-semantic:" token (" " identifier)*
token = <as defined in RFC 4566>
The semantic field may hold values from the IANA registries
Alvestrand Expires February 14, 2014 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft MSID in SDP August 2013
"Semantics for the "ssrc-group" SDP Attribute" and "Semantics for the
"group" SDP Attribute".
An example msid-semantic might look like this:
a=msid-semantic:LS xyzzy forolow
This means that the SDP description has two lip sync groups, with the
group identifiers xyzzy and forolow, respectively.
4. Applying Msid to WebRTC MediaStreams
This section creates a new semantic for use with the framework
defined in Section 2, to be used for associating SSRCs representing
MediaStreamTracks within MediaStreams as defined in
[W3C.WD-webrtc-20120209].
The semantic token for this semantic is "WMS" (short for WebRTC Media
Stream).
The value of the msid corresponds to the "id" attribute of a
MediaStream.
In a WebRTC-compatible SDP description, all SSRCs intending to be
sent from one peer will be identified in the SDP generated by that
entity.
The appdata for a WebRTC MediaStreamTrack consists of the "id"
attribute of a MediaStreamTrack.
If two different SSRCs have the same value for identifier and
appdata, it means that these two SSRCs are both intended for the same
MediaStreamTrack. This may occur if the sender wishes to use
simulcast or forward error correction, or if the sender intends to
switch between multiple codecs on the same MediaStreamTrack.
When an SDP description is updated, a specific msid continues to
refer to the same MediaStream. Once negotiation has completed on a
session, there is no memory; an msid value that appears in a later
negotiation will be taken to refer to a new MediaStream.
The following are the rules for handling updates of the list of
m-lines and their msid values.
o When a new msid value occurs in the description, the recipient can
signal to its application that a new MediaStream has been added.
Alvestrand Expires February 14, 2014 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft MSID in SDP August 2013
o When a description is updated to have more SSRCs with the same
msid value, but different appdata values, the recipient can signal
to its application that new MediaStreamTracks have been added to
the media stream.
o When a description is updated to no longer list the msid value on
a specific ssrc, the recipient can signal to its application that
the corresponding media stream track has been closed.
o When a description is updated to no longer list the msid value on
any ssrc, the recipient can signal to its application that the
media stream has been closed.
In addition to signaling that the track is closed when it disappears
from the SDP, the track will also be signaled as being closed when
all associated SSRCs have disappeared by the rules of [RFC3550]
section 6.3.4 (BYE packet received) and 6.3.5 (timeout).
4.1. Handling of non-signalled tracks
Pre-WebRTC entities will not send msid. This means that there will
be some incoming RTP packets with SSRCs where the recipient does not
know about a corresponding MediaStream id.
Handling will depend on whether or not any MSIDs are signaled in the
relevant m-line(s). There are two cases:
o No msid-semantic:WMS attribute is present. The SDP session is
assumed to be a backwards-compatible session. All incoming SSRCs,
on all m-lines that are part of the SDP session, are assumed to
belong to independent media streams, each with one track. The
identifier of this media stream and of the media stream track is a
randomly generated string; the label of this media stream will be
set to "Non-WMS stream".
o An msid-semantic:WMS attribute is present. In this case, the
session is WebRTC compatible, and the newly arrived SSRCs are
either caused by a bug or by timing skew between the arrival of
the media packets and the SDP description. These packets MAY be
discarded, or they MAY be buffered for a while in order to allow
immediate startup of the media stream when the SDP description is
updated. The arrival of media packets MUST NOT cause a new
MediaStreamTrack to be signaled.
If a WebRTC entity sends a description, it MUST include the msid-
semantic:WMS attribute, even if no media streams are sent. This
allows us to distinguish between the case of no media streams at the
moment and the case of legacy SDP generation.
Alvestrand Expires February 14, 2014 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft MSID in SDP August 2013
It follows from the above that the WebRTC entity must have the SDP of
the other party before it can decide correctly whether or not a
"default" MediaStream should be created. RTP media packets that
arrive before the remote party's SDP MUST be buffered or discarded,
and MUST NOT cause a new MediaStreamTrack to be signalled.
It follows from the above that media stream tracks in the "default"
media stream cannot be closed by signaling; the application must
instead signal these as closed when the SSRC disappears according to
the rules of RFC 3550 section 6.3.4 and 6.3.5.
NOTE IN DRAFT: Previous versions of this memo suggested adding all
incoming SSRCs to a single MediaStream. This is problematic because
we do not know if the SSRCs are synchronized or not before we learn
the CNAME of the SSRCs, which only happens when an RTCP packet
arrives. How to identify a non-WMS stream is still open for
discussion - including whether it's necessary to do so. Using the
stream label seems like an easy thing to do for debuggability - it's
not signalled, and is intended for human consumption anyway.
5. IANA Considerations
This document requests IANA to register the "msid" attribute in the
"att-field (media level only)" registry within the SDP parameters
registry, according to the procedures of [RFC4566]
The required information is:
o Contact name, email: IETF, contacted via mmusic@ietf.org, or a
successor address designated by IESG
o Attribute name: msid
o Long-form attribute name: Media stream group Identifier
o The attribute value contains only ASCII characters, and is
therefore not subject to the charset attribute.
o The attribute gives an association over a set of m-lines. It can
be used to signal the relationship between a WebRTC MediaStream
and a set of SSRCs.
o The details of appropriate values are given in RFC XXXX.
This document requests IANA to create a new registry called
"Semantics for the msid-semantic SDP attribute", which should have
exactly the same rules as for the "Semantics for the ssrc-group SDP
Alvestrand Expires February 14, 2014 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft MSID in SDP August 2013
attribute" registry (Expert Review), and to register the "WMS"
semantic within this new registry.
The required information is:
o Description: WebRTC Media Stream, as given in RFC XXXX.
o Token: WMS
o Standards track reference: RFC XXXX
IANA is requested to replace "RFC XXXX" with the RFC number of this
document upon publication.
6. Security Considerations
An adversary with the ability to modify SDP descriptions has the
ability to switch around tracks between media streams. This is a
special case of the general security consideration that modification
of SDP descriptions needs to be confined to entities trusted by the
application.
If implementing buffering as mentioned in section Section 4.1, the
amount of buffering should be limited to avoid memory exhaustion
attacks.
No other attacks that are relevant to the browser's security have
been identified that depend on this mechanism.

Appendix A. Design considerations, open questions and and alternatives
This appendix should be deleted before publication as an RFC.
One suggested mechanism has been to use CNAME instead of a new
attribute. This was abandoned because CNAME identifies a
synchronization context; one can imagine both wanting to have tracks
from the same synchronization context in multiple MediaStreams and
wanting to have tracks from multiple synchronization contexts within
one MediaStream (but the latter is impossible, since a MediaStream is
defined to impose synchronization on its members).
Another suggestion has been to put the msid value within an attribute
of RTCP SR (sender report) packets. This doesn't offer the ability
to know that you have seen all the tracks currently configured for a
media stream.
There has been a suggestion that this mechanism could be used to mute
tracks too. This is not done at the moment.
Discarding of incoming data when the SDP description isn't updated
yet (section 3) may cause clipping. However, the same issue exists
when crypto keys aren't available. Input sought.
There's been a suggestion that acceptable SSRCs should be signaled in
a response, giving a recipient the ability to say "no" to certain
SSRCs. This is not supported in the current version of this
document.
Appendix B. Usage with multiple MediaStreams per M-line
This appendix is included to document the usage of msid as a source-
specific attribute. Prior to the acceptance of the Unified Plan
document, some implementations used this mechanism to distinguish
between multiple MediaStreamTracks that were carried in the same
M-line.
It reproduces some of the original justification text for this
mechanism that is not relevant when Unified Plan is used.
B.1. Mechanism design with multiple SSRCs
When media is carried by RTP [RFC3550], each RTP media stream is
distinguished inside an RTP session by its SSRC; each RTP session is
distinguished from all other RTP sessions by being on a different
transport association (strictly speaking, 2 transport associations,
one used for RTP and one used for RTCP, unless RTCP multiplexing
Alvestrand Expires February 14, 2014 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft MSID in SDP August 2013
[RFC5761] is used).
There exist cases where an application using RTP and SDP needs to
signal some relationship between RTP media streams that may be
carried in either the same RTP session or different RTP sessions.
For instance, there may be a need to signal a relationship between a
video track in one RTP session and an audio track in another RTP
session. In traditional SDP, it is not possible to signal that these
two tracks should be carried in one session, so they are carried in
different RTP sessions.
Traditionally, SDP was used to describe the RTP sessions, with one
m-line being used to describe each RTP session. With the advent of
extensions like BUNDLE [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation], this
association may be more complex, with multiple m-lines being used to
describe one RTP session; the rest of this document therefore talks
about m-lines, not RTP sessions, when describing the signalling
mechanism.
The SSRC grouping mechanism ("a=ssrc-group") [RFC5576] can be used to
associate RTP media streams when those RTP media streams are
described by the same m-line. The semantics of this mechanism
prevent the association of RTP media streams that are spread across
different m-lines.
The SDP grouping framework [RFC5888] can be used to group m-lines.
When an m-line describes one and only one RTP media stream, it is
possible to associate RTP media streams across different m-lines.
However, if an m-line has multiple RTP media streams, using multiple
SSRCs, the SDP grouping framework cannot be used for this purpose.
There are use cases (some of which are discussed in
[I-D.westerlund-avtcore-multiplex-architecture] ) where neither of
these approaches is appropriate; In those cases, a new mechanism is
needed.
In addition, there is sometimes the need for an application to
specify some application-level information about the association
between the SSRC and the group. This is not possible using either of
the frameworks above.
B.2. Usage with the SSRC attribute
When the MSID attribute was used with the SSRC attribute, it had to
be registered in the "Attribute names (source level)" registry rather
than the "Attribute names (media level only)" registry, and the msid
line was prefixed with "a=ssrc:<ssrc> ". Apart from that, usage of
the attribute with SSRC-bound flows was identical with the current

proposal.

discussing SDP formats and the ability of other linking mechanisms to
refer to SSRCs.
Changed the "default" mechanism to return independent streams after
considering the synchronization problem.
Removed the space from between "msid-semantic" and its value, to be
consistent with RFC 5576.
C.7. Changes from mmusic-msid-00 to -01
Reworked msid mechanism to be a per-m-line attribute, to align with
