Miscellaneous Capabilities Negotiation in the
Session Description Protocol (SDP)
Abstract
The Session Description Protocol (SDP) has been extended with a
capability negotiation mechanism framework that allows the endpoints
to negotiate transport protocols and attributes. This framework has
been extended with a media capabilities negotiation mechanism that
allows endpoints to negotiate additional media-related capabilities.
This negotiation is embedded into the widely used SDP offer/answer
procedures.
This memo extends the SDP capability negotiation framework to allow
endpoints to negotiate three additional SDP capabilities. In
particular, this memo provides a mechanism to negotiate bandwidth
("b=" line), connection data ("c=" line), and session or media titles
("i=" line for each session or media).

1. Introduction
The Session Description Protocol (SDP) [RFC4566] is intended for
describing multimedia sessions for the purposes of session
announcement, session invitation, and other forms of multimedia
session initiation. SDP has been extended with an SDP Capability
Negotiation Mechanism Framework [RFC5939] that allows the endpoints
to negotiate capabilities, such as support for the Real-time
