Overview + + In an earlier version of the SDP specification [RFC2327] of + packetized media types, such as those used with the Real-time + Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550], share the namespace with + Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) media types registry + [RFC4288] [RFC4289] (i.e., "MIME media types"). This is in contrast + to the latest version of the SDP specification [RFC4566], which + requested that an SDP-specific media type registry be created and + maintained by IANA. The top-level SDP media content types registered + by RFC 4566 [RFC4566] are 'audio', 'video', 'text', 'application', + and 'message'. A glaring omission from this list is the 'image' + media type. + + The 'image' media type is an existing top-level MIME media type and + is widely used in SDP implementations for setting up T.38 Real-Time + Facsimile [T38] media streams. This media type is extensively + referenced by examples in ITU-T T.38 [T38] and IETF Standards Track + documents like RFC 4145 [RFC4145]. The following example shows the + media description of a T.38 media stream as commonly found in a + Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] INVITE; it contains an + SDP offer for T.38 over both UDP Transport Layer (UDPTL) and TCP. + For the sake of brevity, only the SDP body of the SIP INVITE request + is displayed in this example. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Salgueiro Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 6466 'image' Media Type Registration December 2011 + + + v=0 + o=alice 53655765 2353687637 IN IP4 pc33.example.com + s=SDP image example + c=IN IP4 192.0.2.2 + t=0 0 + m=image 49170 udptl t38 + a=T38FaxVersion:0 + a=T38MaxBitRate:14400 + a=T38FaxRateManagement:transferredTCF + a=T38FaxMaxBuffer:262 + a=T38FaxMaxDatagram:90 + a=T38FaxUdpEC:t38UDPRedundancy + a=sendrecv + m=image 49172 tcp t38 + a=T38FaxRateManagement:localTCF + + The purpose of this document is to register with IANA the 'image' + media type as a top-level SDP media type. This ensures seamless + continuity with documentation that uses the 'image' MIME media type + and the previously registered MIME media sub-types like 'image/t38' + [RFC3362] that are used as SDP media descriptors for T.38 [T38]. + + This document complies with the request of Section 8.2.1 of RFC 4566 + [RFC4566] that indicates: + + The same rules should apply for media names as for top-level media + content types, and where possible the same name should be + registered for SDP as for MIME. For media other than existing + top-level media content types, a Standards Track RFC MUST be + produced for a new top-level content type to be registered, and + the registration MUST provide good justification why no existing + media name is appropriate. + +2. Conventions Used in This Document + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. + +3. IANA Considerations + + IANA has registered an 'image' token in the media sub-registry of the + Session Description Protocols (SDP) Parameters registry. This + registration contains the required information elements outlined in + the SDP registration procedure defined in Section 8.2.8 of RFC 4566 + [RFC4566]. + + + + + +Salgueiro Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 6466 'image' Media Type Registration December 2011 + + + (1) Contact Information: + + Name: Gonzalo Salgueiro + Email: gsalguei@cisco.com + Telephone Number: (919) 392-3266 + + (2) Name being registered (as it will appear in SDP): image + + (3) Long-form name in English: image + + (4) Type of name ('media', 'proto', 'fmt', 'bwtype', 'nettype', or + 'addrtype'): media + + (5) Purpose of the registered name: + + The 'image' media type for the Session Description Protocol + is used to describe a media stream whose content consists of + one or more separate images that require appropriate hardware + to display. The media subtype further describes the specific + format of the image. Currently, the 'image' media type for + SDP is used ubiquitously by the SIP control protocol to + establish T.38 media streams. + + (6) Specification for the registered name: RFC 6466 + +4. Security Considerations + + The 'image' media type registered by this document in the SDP + parameters registry maintained by IANA is primarily for use by the + offer/answer model of the Session Description Protocol [RFC3264] for + the negotiation and establishment of T.38 [T38] media streams using + SIP [RFC3261]. This additional SDP media type does not introduce any + security considerations beyond those detailed in Section 7 of RFC + 4566 [RFC4566]. + + The security vulnerabilities in T.38 [T38] and its associated + transport protocols (TCP [RFC0793], UDP [RFC0768], and RTP [RFC3550]) + are well documented in each of their respective specifications. The + ability to exchange images other than T.38 can expose the recipient + to potentially malicious executable code. + +5.
