Abstract

   This document describes how to express media transport over TCP using
   the Session Description Protocol (SDP).  It defines the SDP 'TCP'
   protocol identifier, the SDP 'setup' attribute, which describes the
   connection setup procedure, and the SDP 'connection' attribute, which
   handles connection reestablishment.

Internet-Draft         Connection-Oriented Media           November 2004


1.  Introduction

   The Session Description Protocol [4] provides a general-purpose
   format for describing multimedia sessions in announcements or
   invitations.  SDP uses an entirely textual data format (the US-ASCII
   subset of UTF-8 [11]) to maximize portability among transports.  SDP
   does not define a protocol, but only the syntax to describe a
   multimedia session with sufficient information to participate in that
   session.  Session descriptions may be sent using arbitrary existing
   application protocols for transport (e.g., SAP [9], SIP [10], RTSP
   [6], email, HTTP [8], etc.).

   SDP [4] defines two protocol identifiers: RTP/AVP and UDP, both of
   which represent unreliable connectionless protocols.  While these
   transports are appropriate choices for multimedia streams, there are
   applications for which TCP is more appropriate.  This document
   defines a new protocol identifier, 'TCP', to describe TCP connetions
   in SDP.

   TCP introduces two new factors when describing a session: how and
   when should endpoints perform the TCP connection setup procedure.
   This document defines two new attributes to describe TCP connection
   setups: 'setup' and 'connection'.

2.  Terminology

   In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED",
   "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT
   RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as
   described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [3] and indicate requirement levels for
   compliant implementations.

3.  Protocol Identifier

   The following is the ABNF for an 'm' line, as specified by RFC 2327
   [4].


    media-field =         "m=" media space port ["/" integer]
                          space proto 1*(space fmt) CRLF

   This document defines a new value for the proto field: 'TCP'.

   The 'TCP' protocol identifier is similar to the 'UDP' protocol
   identifier in that it only describes the transport protocol, and not
   the upper-layer protocol.  An 'm' line that specifies 'TCP' MUST
   further qualify the application-layer protocol using an fmt
   identifier.  Media described using an 'm' line containing the 'TCP'

   protocol identifier are carried using TCP [1].

4.  Setup Attribute

   The 'setup' attribute indicates which of the end points should
   initiate the TCP connection establishment (i.e., send the initial TCP
   SYN).  The 'setup' attribute is charset-independent and can be a
   session-level or a media-level attribute.  The following is the ABNF
   of the 'setup' attribute:


         setup-attr           =  "a=setup:" role
         role                 =  "active" / "passive" / "actpass"
                                 / "holdconn"

      'active': The endpoint will initiate an outgoing connection.

      'passive': The endpoint will accept an incoming connection.

      'actpass': The endpoint is willing to accept an incoming
      connection or to initiate an outgoing connection.

      'holdconn': The endpoint does not want the connection to be
      established for the time being.

4.1  The Setup Attribute in the Offer/answer Model

   The offer/answer model, defined in RFC 3264 [5], provides endpoints
   with a means to obtain shared view of a session.  Some session
   parameters are negotiated (e.g., codecs to use), while others are
   simply communicated from one endpoint to the other (e.g., IP
   addresses).  The value of the 'setup' attribute falls into the first
   category.  That is, both endpoints negotiate its value using the
   offer/answer model.

   The negotiation of the value of the 'setup' attribute takes places as
   follows.  The offerer states which role or roles it is willing to
   perform and the answerer, taking the offerer's willingness into
   consideration, chooses which roles both endpoints will actually
   perform during connection establishment.  The following are the
   values that the 'setup' attribute can take in an offer/answer
   exchange:


            Offer      Answer
            ________________
            active     passive / holdconn
            passive    active / holdconn

Internet-Draft         Connection-Oriented Media           November 2004


            actpass    active / passive / holdconn
            holdconn   holdconn

   The active endpoint SHOULD initiate a connection to the port number
   on the 'm' line of the other endpoint.  The port number on its own
   'm' line is irrelevant, and the opposite endpoint MUST NOT attempt to
   initiate a connection to the port number specified there.
   Nevertheless, since the 'm' line must contain a valid port number,
   the endpoint specifying using the value active SHOULD specify a port
   number of 9 (the discard port) on its 'm' line.  The endpoint MUST
   NOT specify a port number of zero, except to denote an 'm' line that
   has been or is being refused.

   The passive endpoint SHOULD be ready to accept a connection on the
   port number specified in the 'm' line.

   A value of 'actpass' indicates that the offerer can either initiate a
   connection to the port number on the 'm' line in the answer or accept
   a connection on the port number specified in the 'm' line in the
   offer.  That is, the offerer has no preference as to whether it
   accepts or initiates the connection and, so, is letting the answerer
   choose.

   A value of 'holdconn' indicates that the connection should not be
   established for the time being.

   The default value of the setup attribute in an offer/answer exchange
   is 'active' in the offer and 'passive' in the answer.

5.  The Connection Attribute

   The preceding description of the 'setup' attribute is placed in the
   context of using SDP to initiate a session.  Still, SDP may be
   exchanged between endpoints at various stages of a session to
   accomplish tasks such as terminating a session, redirecting media to
   a new endpoint, or renegotiating the media parameters for a session.
   After the initial session has been established, it may be ambiguous
   as to whether subsequent SDP exchange represents a confirmation that
   the endpoint is to continue using the current TCP connection
   unchanged, or is a request to make a new TCP connection.  The
   media-level 'connection' attribute, which is charset-independent, is
   used to disambiguate these two scenarios.  The following is the ABNF
   of the connection attribute:


         connection-attr        = "a=connection:" conn-value
         conn-value             = "new" / "existing"

Internet-Draft         Connection-Oriented Media           November 2004


5.1  Offerer Behaviour

   Offerers and answerers use the 'connection' attribute to decide
   whether a new transport connection needs to be established or, on the
   other hand, the existing TCP connection should still be used.  When
   an offerer generates an 'm' line which uses TCP, it SHOULD provide a
   connection attribute for the 'm' line unless the application using
   the 'm' line has other means to deal with connection reestablishment.

   After the initial offer/answer exchange, any of the endpoints can
   generate a new offer to change some characteristics of the session
   (e.g., the direction attribute).  If such an offerer wants to
   continue using the previously-established transport-layer connection
   for the 'm' line, the offerer MUST use a connection value of
   'existing' for the 'm' line.  If, on the other hand, the offerer
   wants to establish a new transport-layer connection for the 'm' line,
   it MUST use a connection value of 'new'.

      Note that, according to the rules in this section, an offer that
      changes the transport address (IP address or port number) of an
      'm' line will have a connection value of 'new'.  The same way, the
      'connection' attribute in an initial offer (i.e., no transport
      connection has been established yet) takes the value of 'new'.

   The 'connection' value resulting from an offer/answer exchange is the
   'connection' value in the answer.  If the 'connection' value in the
   answer is 'new', the end-points SHOULD establish a new connection.
   If the connection value in the answer is 'existing', the end-points
   SHOULD continue using the exiting connection.

   Taking into consideration the rules in Section 5.2, the following are
   the values that the 'connetion' attribute can take in an offer/answer
   exchange:


            Offer      Answer
            ________________
            new        new
            existing   existing / new

   If the connection value resulting from an offer/answer exchange is
   'existing', the end-points continue using the existing connection.
   Consequently, the port numbers, IP addresses, and 'setup' attributes
   negotiated in the offer/answer exchange are ignored because there is
   no need to establish a new connection.

   The previous rule implies that an offerer generating an offer with a
   connection value of 'existing' and a setup value of 'passive' needs

Internet-Draft         Connection-Oriented Media           November 2004


   to be ready (i.e., needs to allocate resources) to receive a
   connection request from the answerer just in case the answerer
   chooses a connection value of 'new' for the answer.  However, if the
   answerer uses a connection value of 'existing' in the answer, the
   offerer would need to deallocate the previously allocated resources
   which were never used because no connection request was received.

   To avoid allocating resources unnecessary, offerers using a
   connection value of 'existing' in their offers may choose to use a
   setup value of 'holdconn'.  Nevertheless, offerers using this
   strategy should be aware that in the case the answerer chooses a
   connection value of 'new', a new offer/answer exchange (typically
   initiated by the previous offerer) with setup value different than
   'holdconn' will be needed to establish the new connection.  This may,
   of course, cause delays in the application using the TCP connection.

   The default value of the connection attribute in both offers and
   answers is 'new'.

5.2  Answerer Behaviour

   The connection value for an 'm' line is negotiated using the offer/
   answer model.  The resulting connection value after an offer/answer
   exchange is the connection value in the answer.  If the connection
   value in the offer is 'new', the answerer MUST also use a value of
   'new' in the answer.  If the connection value in the offer is
   'existing', the answerer uses a value of 'existing' in the answer if
   it wishes to continue using the existing connection and a value of
   'new' if it wants a new connection to be established.

      In some scenarios where third party call control [12] is used, an
      endpoint may receive an initial offer with a connection value of
      'existing'.  Following the previous rules, such an answerer would
      use a connection value of 'new' in the answer.

   If the connection value for an 'm' line resulting from an offer/
   answer exchange is 'new', the endpoints SHOULD establish a new TCP
   connection as indicated by the 'setup' attribute.  If a previous TCP
   connection is still up, the endpoints SHOULD close it as soon as the
   offer/answer exchange is completed.  It is up to the application to
   ensure proper data synchornization between the two TCP connections.

   If the connection value for an 'm' line resulting from an offer/
   answer exchange is 'existing', the endpoints SHOULD continue using
   the existing TCP connection.

6.  Connection Management

   This section addresses connection establishment, connection
   reestablishment, and connection termination.

6.1  Connection Establishment

   An endpoint that according to an offer/answer exchange is supposed to
   initiate a new TCP connection SHOULD initiate it as soon as it is
   able to, even if the endpoint does not intend to immediately begin
   sending media to the remote endpoint.  This allows media to flow from
   the remote endpoint if needed.

      Note that some endpoints need to wait for some event to happen
      before being able to establish the connection.  For example, a
      wireless terminal may need to set up a radio bearer before being
      able to initiate a TCP connection.

6.2  Connection Reestablishment

   If an endpoint determines that the TCP for an 'm' line has been
   closed and it should be reestablished, it SHOULD perform a new offer/
   answer exchange using a connection value of 'new' for this 'm' line.

      Note that the SDP direction attribute (e.g., 'a=sendonly') deals
      with the media sent over the TCP connection, but has no impact on
      the TCP connection itself.

6.3  Connection Termination

   Typically, endpoints do not close the TCP connection until the
   session has expired, been explicitly terminated, or a new connection
   value has been provided for the 'm' line.  Additionaly, specific
   applications can describe further scenarios where an end-point may
   close a given TCP connection (e.g., whenever a connection is in the
   half-close state).  As soon as an end-point notices that it needs to
   terminate a TCP connection, it SHOULD do so.

   In any case, individual applications may provide further
   considerations on how to achieve a graceful connection termination.
   For example, a file application using TCP receiving a FIN from the
   remote endpoint may need to finish the ongoing transmission of a file
   before sending its own FIN.

7.  Examples

   The following examples show the most common usage of the 'setup'
   attribute combined with TCP-based media descriptions.  For the

Internet-Draft         Connection-Oriented Media           November 2004


   purpose of brevity, the main portion of the session description is
   omitted in the examples, which only show 'm' lines and their
   attributes (including 'c' lines).

7.1  Passive/Active

   An offerer at 192.0.2.2 signals its availability for a T.38 fax
   session at port 54111:


           m=image 54111 TCP t38
           c=IN IP4 192.0.2.2
           a=setup:passive
           a=connection:new

   An answerer at 192.0.2.1 receiving this offer responds with the
   following answer:


           m=image 9 TCP t38
           c=IN IP4 192.0.2.1
           a=setup:active
           a=connection:new

   The endpoint at 192.0.2.1 then initiates the TCP connection to port
   54111 at 192.0.2.2.

7.2  Actpass/Passive

   In another example, an offerer at 192.0.2.2 signals its availability
   for a T.38 fax session at TCP port 54111.  Additionally, this offerer
   is also willing to set up the media stream by initiating the TCP
   connection:


           m=image 54111 TCP t38
           c=IN IP4 192.0.2.2
           a=setup:actpass
           a=connection:new

   The endpoint at 192.0.2.1 responds with the following description:


           m=image 54321 TCP t38
           c=IN IP4 192.0.2.1
           a=setup:passive
           a=connection:new

Internet-Draft         Connection-Oriented Media           November 2004


   This will cause the offerer (at 192.0.2.2) to initiate a connection
   to port 54321 at 192.0.2.1.

7.3  Existing Connection Reuse

   Subsequent to the exchange in Section 7.2, another offer/answer
   exchange is initiated in the opposite direction.  The endpoint at
   192.0.2.1 wishes to continue using the existing connection:


            m=image 54321 TCP t38
            c=IN IP4 192.0.2.1
            a=setup:passive
            a=connection:existing

   The endpoint at 192.0.2.2 also wishes to use the existing connection
   and responds with the following description:


            m=image 9 TCP t38
            c=IN IP4 192.0.2.2
            a=setup:active
            a=connection:existing

   The existing connection from 192.0.2.2 to 192.0.2.1 will be reused.

      Note that the endpoint at 192.0.2.2 uses 'setup:active' in
      response to the offer of 'setup:passive', and uses port 9 because
      it is active.

7.4  Existing Connection Refusal

   Subsequent to the exchange in Section 7.3, another offer/answer
   exchange is initiated by the endpoint at 192.0.2.2, again wishing to
   reuse the existing connection:


            m=image 54111 TCP t38
            c=IN IP4 192.0.2.2
            a=setup:passive
            a=connection:existing

   However, this time the answerer is unaware of the old connection and
   so wishes to establish a new one.  (This could be the result of a
   transfer via third-party call control.) It is unable to act in the
   'passive' mode so responds as 'active':





Yon & Camarillo           Expires May 27, 2005                 [Page 10]


Internet-Draft         Connection-Oriented Media           November 2004


            m=image 9 TCP t38
            c=IN IP4 192.0.2.3
            a=setup:active
            a=connection:new

   The endpoint at 192.0.2.3 then initiates the TCP connection to port
   54111 at 192.0.2.2, and the endpoint at 192.0.2.2 closes the old
   connection.

      Note that the endpoint at 192.0.2.2, while using a connection
      value of 'existing' has used a setup value of 'passive'.  Had it
      not done this and used a setup value of 'holdconn' instead
      (probably to avoid allocating resources as described in Section
      5.1), a new offer/answer exchange would have been needed in order
      to establish the new connection.

8.  Other Connection-Oriented Transport Protocols

   This document specifies how to describe TCP-based media streams using
   SDP.  Still, some of the attributes defined here could possibly be
   used to describe media streams based on other connection-oriented
   transport protocols as well.  This section provides advice to authors
   of specifications of SDP extensions which deal with
   connetion-oriented transport protocols other than TCP.

   It is recommended that documents defining new SDP protocol
   identifiers that involve extra protocol layers between TCP and the
   media itself (e.g., TLS [7] over TCP) start with the string 'TCP/'
   (e.g., 'TCP/TLS').

   The 'setup' and the 'connection' attributes are specified in Section
   4 and Section 5 respectively.  While both attributes are applicable
   to 'm' lines that use the 'TCP' protocol identifier, they are general
   enough to be reused in 'm' lines with other connection-oriented
   transport protocols.  Therefore, it is recommended that the 'setup'
   and 'connection' attributes are reused, as long as it is possible,
   for new proto values associated with connection-oriented transport
   protocols.

   Section 6 deals with TCP connection management.  It should be noted
   that while in TCP both end-points need to close a connection, other
   connection-oriented transport protocols may not have the concept of
   half-close connections.  In such a case, a connection would be
   terminated as soon as one of the end-points closed it, making it
   unnecessary for the other end-point to perform any further action to
   terminate the connection.  So, specifications dealing with such
   transport protocols may need to specify slightly different procedures
   regarding connection termination.

9.  Security Considerations

   See RFC 2327 [4] for security and other considerations specific to
   the Session Description Protocol in general.

   An attacker may attempt to modify the values of the connection and
   setup attributes to have endpoints reestablish connections
   unnecesaryly or to keep them from establishing a connection.  So, it
   is strongly RECOMMENDED that integrity protection be applied to the
   SDP session descriptions.  For session descriptions carried in SIP
   [10], S/MIME is the natural choice to provide such end-to-end
   integrity protection, as described in RFC 3261 [10].  Other
   applications MAY use a different form of integrity protection.

10.  IANA Considerations

   This document defines two session and media level SDP attributes:
   setup and connection.  Their formats are defined in Section 4 and
   Section 5 respectively.  These two attributes should be registered by
   the IANA under "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters" under
   "att-field (both session and media level)".

   This document defines a proto value: TCP.  Its format is defined in
   Section 3.  This proto value should be registered by the IANA under
   "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters" under "proto".

   The SDP specification, RFC2327, states that specifications defining
   new proto values, like the TCP proto value defined in this RFC, must
   define the rules by which their media format (fmt) namespace is
   managed.  For the TCP protocol, new formats SHOULD have an associated
   MIME registration.  Use of an existing MIME subtype for the format is
   encouraged.  If no MIME subtype exists, it is RECOMMENDED that a
   suitable one is registered through the IETF process [2] by production
   of, or reference to, a standards-track RFC that defines the transport
   protocol for the format.
