+ A General Mechanism for RTP Header Extensions
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document provides a general mechanism to use the header
+ extension feature of RTP (the Real-time Transport Protocol). It
+ provides the option to use a small number of small extensions in each
+ RTP packet, where the universe of possible extensions is large and
+ registration is decentralized. The actual extensions in use in a
+ session are signaled in the setup information for that session. This
+ document obsoletes RFC 5285.

+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The RTP specification [RFC3550] provides a capability to extend the
+ RTP header. Section 5.3.1 of [RFC3550] defines the header extension
+ format and rules for its use. The existing header extension method
+ permits at most one extension per RTP packet, identified by a 16-bit
+ identifier and a 16-bit length field specifying the length of the
+ header extension in 32-bit words.
+
+ This mechanism has two conspicuous drawbacks. First, it permits only
+ one header extension in a single RTP packet. Second, the
+ specification gives no guidance as to how the 16-bit header extension
+ identifiers are allocated to avoid collisions.
+
+ This specification removes the first drawback by defining a backward-
+ compatible and extensible means to carry multiple header extension
+ elements in a single RTP packet. It removes the second drawback by
+ defining that these extension elements are named by URIs, defining an
+ IANA registry for extension elements defined in IETF specifications,
+ and providing a Session Description Protocol (SDP) method for mapping
+ between the naming URIs and the identifier values carried in the RTP
+ packets.
+
+ This header extension applies to RTP/AVP (the Audio/Visual Profile)
+ and its extensions.
+
+ This document obsoletes [RFC5285] and removes a limitation from
+ RFC 5285 that did not allow sending both one-byte and two-byte header
+ extensions in the same RTP stream.
+
+2. Requirements Notation
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
+ "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
+ BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
+ capitals, as shown here.
+
+3. Design Goals
+
+ The goal of this design is to provide a simple mechanism whereby
+ multiple identified extensions can be used in RTP packets, without
+ the need for formal registration of those extensions but nonetheless
+ avoiding collisions.
+
+ This mechanism provides an alternative to the practice of burying
+ associated metadata into the media format bitstream. This has often
+ been done in media data sent over fixed-bandwidth channels. Once
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ this is done, a decoder for the specific media format needs to
+ extract the metadata. Also, depending on the media format, the
+ metadata can be added at the time of encoding the media so that the
+ bit-rate used for the metadata is taken into account. But the
+ metadata can be unknown at that time. Inserting metadata at a later
+ time can cause a decode and re-encode to meet bit-rate requirements.
+
+ In some cases, a more appropriate and higher-level mechanism may be
+ available, and if so, it can be used. For cases where a higher-level
+ mechanism is not available, it is better to provide a mechanism at
+ the RTP level than to have the metadata be tied to a specific form of
+ media data.
+
+4. Packet Design
+
+4.1. General
+
+ The following design is fit into the "header extension" of the RTP
+ extension, as described above.
+
+ The presence and format of this header extension and its contents are
+ negotiated or defined out of band, such as through signaling (see
+ below for SDP signaling). The 16-bit identifier for the two forms of
+ the RTP extension defined here is only an architectural constant
+ (e.g., for use by network analyzers); it is the negotiation/
+ definition (e.g., in SDP) that is the definitive indication that this
+ header extension is present.
+
+ The RTP specification [RFC3550] states that RTP "is designed so that
+ the header extension may be ignored by other interoperating
+ implementations that have not been extended." The intent of this
+ restriction is that RTP header extensions MUST NOT be used to extend
+ RTP itself in a manner that is backward incompatible with
+ non-extended implementations. For example, a header extension is not
+ allowed to change the meaning or interpretation of the standard RTP
+ header fields or of the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP). Header
+ extensions MAY carry metadata in addition to the usual RTP header
+ information, provided the RTP layer can function if that metadata is
+ missing. For example, RTP header extensions can be used to carry
+ data that's also sent in RTCP, as an optimization to lower latency,
+ since they'll fall back to the original non-optimized behavior if the
+ header extension is not present. The use of header extensions to
+ convey information that will, if missing, disrupt the behavior of a
+ higher-layer application that builds on top of RTP is only acceptable
+ if this doesn't affect interoperability at the RTP layer. For
+ example, applications that use the SDP BUNDLE extension with the
+ Media Identification (MID) RTP header extension [SDP-BUNDLE] to
+ correlate RTP streams with SDP "m=" lines likely won't work with full
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ functionality if the MID is missing, but the operation of the RTP
+ layer of those applications will be unaffected. Support for RTP
+ header extensions based on this memo is negotiated using, for
+ example, SDP Offer/Answer [RFC3264]; intermediaries aware of the RTP
+ header extensions are advised to be cautious when removing or
+ generating RTP header extensions. See Section 4.7 of [RFC7667].
+
+ The RTP header extension is formed as a sequence of extension
+ elements, with possible padding. Each extension element has a local
+ identifier and a length. The local identifiers MAY be mapped to a
+ larger namespace in the negotiation (e.g., session signaling).
+
+4.1.1. Transmission Considerations
+
+ As is good network practice, data should only be transmitted when
+ needed. The RTP header extension SHOULD only be present in a packet
+ if that packet also contains one or more extension elements, as
+ defined here. An extension element SHOULD only be present in a
+ packet when needed; the signaling setup of extension elements
+ indicates only that those elements can be present in some packets,
+ not that they are in fact present in all (or indeed, any) packets.
+
+ Some general considerations for getting the header extensions
+ delivered to the receiver are as follows:
+
+ 1. The probability for packet loss and burst loss determines how
+ many repetitions of the header extensions will be required to
+ reach a targeted delivery probability, and if burst loss is
+ likely, what distribution would be needed to avoid losing all
+ repetitions of the header extensions in a single burst.
+
+ 2. If a set of packets are all needed to enable decoding, there is
+ commonly no reason for including the header extension in all of
+ these packets, as they share fate. Instead, at most one instance
+ of the header extension per independently decodable set of media
+ data would be a more efficient use of the bandwidth.
+
+ 3. How early the header extension item information is needed, from
+ the first received RTP data or only after some set of packets are
+ received, can guide whether the header extension(s) should be
+ (1) in all of the first N packets or (2) included only once per
+ set of packets -- for example, once per video frame.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ 4. The use of RTP-level robustness mechanisms, such as RTP
+ retransmission [RFC4588] or Forward Error Correction (e.g.,
+ [RFC5109]) may treat packets differently from a robustness
+ perspective, and header extensions should be added to packets
+ that get a treatment corresponding to the relative importance of
+ receiving the information.
+
+ As a summary, the number of header extension transmissions should be
+ tailored to a desired probability of delivery, taking the receiver
+ population size into account. For the very basic case, N repetitions
+ of the header extensions should be sufficient but may not be optimal.
+ N is selected so that the header extension target delivery
+ probability reaches 1-P^N, where P is the probability of packet loss.
+ For point-to-point or small receiver populations, it might also be
+ possible to use feedback, such as RTCP, to determine when the
+ information in the header extensions has reached all receivers and
+ stop further repetitions. Feedback that can be used includes the
+ RTCP Extended Report (XR) Loss RLE Report Block [RFC3611], which will
+ indicate successful delivery of particular packets. If the RTP/AVPF
+ transport-layer feedback messages for generic NACK [RFC4585] are
+ used, they can indicate failure to deliver an RTP packet with the
+ header extension, thus indicating the need for further repetitions.
+ The normal RTCP report blocks can also provide an indicator of
+ successful delivery, if no losses are indicated for a reporting
+ interval covering the RTP packets with the header extension. Note
+ that loss of an RTCP packet reporting on an interval where RTP header
+ extension packets were sent does not necessarily mean that the RTP
+ header extension packets themselves were lost.
+
+4.1.2. Header Extension Type Considerations
+
+ Each extension element in a packet has a local identifier (ID) and a
+ length. The local identifiers present in the stream MUST have been
+ negotiated or defined out of band. There are no static allocations
+ of local identifiers. Each distinct extension MUST have a unique ID.
+ The ID value 0 is reserved for padding and MUST NOT be used as a
+ local identifier.
+
+ An extension element with an ID value equal to 0 MUST NOT have an
+ associated length field greater than 0. If such an extension element
+ is encountered, its length field MUST be ignored, processing of the
+ entire extension MUST terminate at that point, and only the extension
+ elements present prior to the element with ID 0 and a length field
+ greater than 0 SHOULD be considered.
+
+ There are two variants of the extension: one-byte and two-byte
+ headers. Since it is expected that (a) the number of extensions in
+ any given RTP session is small and (b) the extensions themselves are
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ small, the one-byte header form is preferred and MUST be supported by
+ all receivers. A stream MUST contain only one-byte headers or only
+ two-byte headers unless it is known that all recipients support
+ mixing, by either SDP Offer/Answer [RFC3264] negotiation (see
+ Section 6) or out-of-band knowledge. Each RTP packet with an RTP
+ header extension following this specification will indicate whether
+ it contains one-byte or two-byte header extensions through the use of
+ the "defined by profile" field. Extension element types that do not
+ match the header extension format, i.e., one-byte or two-byte,
+ MUST NOT be used in that RTP packet. Transmitters SHOULD NOT use the
+ two-byte header form when all extensions are small enough for the
+ one-byte header form. Transmitters that intend to send the two-byte
+ form SHOULD negotiate the use of IDs above 14 if they want to let the
+ receivers know that they intend to use the two-byte form -- for
+ example, if the RTP header extension is longer than 16 bytes. A
+ transmitter may be aware that an intermediary may add RTP header
+ extensions; in this case, the transmitter SHOULD use the two-byte
+ form.
+
+ A sequence of extension elements, possibly with padding, forms the
+ header extension defined in the RTP specification. There are as many
+ extension elements as will fit in the RTP header extension, as
+ indicated by the RTP header extension length. Since this length is
+ signaled in full 32-bit words, padding bytes are used to pad to a
+ 32-bit boundary. The entire extension is parsed byte by byte to find
+ each extension element (no alignment is needed), and parsing stops
+ (1) at the end of the entire header extension or (2) in the "one-byte
+ headers only" case, on encountering an identifier with the reserved
+ value of 15 -- whichever happens earlier.
+
+ In both forms, padding bytes have the value of 0 (zero). They MAY be
+ placed between extension elements, if desired for alignment, or after
+ the last extension element, if needed for padding. A padding byte
+ does not supply the ID of an element, nor does it supply the length
+ field. When a padding byte is found, it is ignored, and the parser
+ moves on to interpreting the next byte.
+
+ Note carefully that the one-byte header form allows for data lengths
+ between 1 and 16 bytes, by adding 1 to the signaled length value
+ (thus, 0 in the length field indicates that one byte of data
+ follows). This allows for the important case of 16-byte payloads.
+ This addition is not performed for the two-byte headers, where the
+ length field signals data lengths between 0 and 255 bytes.
+
+ Use of RTP header extensions will reduce the efficiency of RTP header
+ compression, since the header extension will be sent uncompressed
+ unless the RTP header compression module is updated to recognize the
+ extension header. If header extensions are present in some packets
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ but not in others, this can also reduce compression efficiency by
+ requiring an update to the fixed header to be conveyed when header
+ extensions start or stop being sent. The interactions of the RTP
+ header extension and header compression are explored further in
+ [RFC2508] and [RFC3095].
+
+4.2. One-Byte Header
+
+ In the one-byte header form of extensions, the 16-bit value required
+ by the RTP specification for a header extension, labeled in the RTP
+ specification as "defined by profile", MUST have the fixed bit
+ pattern 0xBEDE (the pattern was picked for the trivial reason that
+ the first version of this specification was written on May 25th --
+ the feast day of the Venerable Bede).
+
+ Each extension element MUST start with a byte containing an ID and a
+ length:
+
+ 0
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | ID | len |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ The 4-bit ID is the local identifier of this element in the range
+ 1-14 inclusive. In the signaling section, this is referred to as the
+ valid range.
+
+ The local identifier value 15 is reserved for a future extension and
+ MUST NOT be used as an identifier. If the ID value 15 is
+ encountered, its length field MUST be ignored, processing of the
+ entire extension MUST terminate at that point, and only the extension
+ elements present prior to the element with ID 15 SHOULD be
+ considered.
+
+ The 4-bit length is the number, minus one, of data bytes of this
+ header extension element following the one-byte header. Therefore,
+ the value zero (0) in this field indicates that one byte of data
+ follows, and a value of 15 (the maximum) indicates element data of
+ 16 bytes. (This permits carriage of 16-byte values, which is a
+ common length of labels and identifiers, while losing the possibility
+ of zero-length values, which would often be padded anyway.)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ An example header extension, with three extension elements and some
+ padding, follows:
+
+ 0 1 2 3
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | 0xBE | 0xDE | length=3 |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | ID | L=0 | data | ID | L=1 | data...
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ ...data | 0 (pad) | 0 (pad) | ID | L=3 |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | data |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+4.3. Two-Byte Header
+
+ In the two-byte header form, the 16-bit value defined by the RTP
+ specification for a header extension, labeled in the RTP
+ specification as "defined by profile", is defined as shown below.
+
+ 0 1
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | 0x100 |appbits|
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ The appbits field is 4 bits that are application dependent and MAY be
+ defined to be any value or meaning; this topic is outside the scope
+ of this specification. For the purposes of signaling, this field is
+ treated as a special extension value assigned to the local identifier
+ 256. If no extension has been specified through configuration or
+ signaling for this local identifier value (256), the appbits field
+ SHOULD be set to all 0s (zeros) by the sender and MUST be ignored by
+ the receiver.
+
+ Each extension element starts with a byte containing an ID and a byte
+ containing a length:
+
+ 0 1
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | ID | length |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ The 8-bit ID is the local identifier of this element in the range
+ 1-255 inclusive. In the signaling section, the range 1-256 is
+ referred to as the valid range, with the values 1-255 referring to
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ extension elements and the value 256 referring to the 4-bit appbits
+ field (above). Note that there is one ID space for both the one-byte
+ form and the two-byte form. This means that the lower values (1-14)
+ can be used in the 4-bit ID field in the one-byte header format with
+ the same meanings.
+
+ The 8-bit length field is the length of extension data in bytes, not
+ including the ID and length fields. The value zero (0) indicates
+ that there is no subsequent data.
+
+ An example header extension, with three extension elements and some
+ padding, follows:
+
+ 0 1 2 3
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | 0x10 | 0x00 | length=3 |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | ID | L=0 | ID | L=1 |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | data | 0 (pad) | ID | L=4 |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | data |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+5. SDP Signaling Design
+
+ The indication of the presence of this extension, and the mapping of
+ local identifiers used in the header extension to a larger namespace,
+ MUST be performed out of band -- for example, as part of an SDP
+ Offer/Answer [RFC3264]. This section defines such signaling in SDP.
+
+ A usable mapping MUST use IDs in the valid range, and each ID in this
+ range MUST be used only once for each media section (or only once if
+ the mappings are session level). Mappings that do not conform to
+ these rules MAY be presented, for instance, during SDP Offer/Answer
+ [RFC3264] negotiation as described in the next section, but remapping
+ to conformant values is necessary before they can be applied.
+
+ Each extension is named by a URI. That URI MUST be absolute; it
+ precisely identifies the format and meaning of the extension. URIs
+ that contain a domain name SHOULD also contain a month-date in the
+ form mmyyyy. The definition of the element and assignment of the URI
+ MUST have been authorized by the owner of the domain name on or very
+ close to that date. (This avoids problems when domain names change
+ ownership.) If the resource or document defines several extensions,
+
+
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ then the URI MUST identify the actual extension in use, e.g., using a
+ fragment or query identifier (characters after a "#" or "?" in
+ the URI).
+
+ Rationale: The use of URIs provides for a large, unallocated space
+ and gives documentation on the extension. The URIs do not have to be
+ dereferencable, in order to permit confidential or experimental use,
+ or to cover the case when extensions continue to be used after the
+ organization that defined them ceases to exist.
+
+ An extension URI with the same attributes MUST NOT appear more than
+ once applying to the same stream, i.e., at session level or in the
+ declarations for a single stream at media level. (The same extension
+ can, of course, be used for several streams and can appear with
+ different <extensionattributes> for the same stream.)
+
+ For extensions defined in RFCs, the URI used SHOULD be a URN starting
+ with "urn:ietf:params:rtp-hdrext:" followed by a registered,
+ descriptive name.
+
+ The registration requirements are detailed in Section 10 ("IANA
+ Considerations").
+
+ An example where "avt-example-metadata" is the hypothetical name of a
+ header extension might be:
+
+ urn:ietf:params:rtp-hdrext:avt-example-metadata
+
+ An example name not from the IETF might be:
+
+ http://example.com/082005/ext.htm#example-metadata
+
+ The mapping MAY be provided per media stream (in the media-level
+ section(s) of SDP, i.e., after an "m=" line) or globally for all
+ streams (i.e., before the first "m=" line, at session level). The
+ definitions MUST be either all session level or all media level; it
+ is not permitted to mix the two styles. In addition, as noted above,
+ the IDs used MUST be unique in each media section of the SDP or
+ unique in the session for session-level SDP declarations.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ Each local identifier potentially used in the stream is mapped to an
+ extension identified by a URI using an attribute of the form:
+
+ a=extmap:<value>["/"<direction>] <URI> <extensionattributes>
+
+ where
+
+ o <value> is the local identifier (ID) of this extension and is an
+ integer in the valid range (0 is reserved for padding in both
+ forms, and 15 is reserved in the one-byte header form, as noted
+ above).
+
+ o <direction> is one of "sendonly", "recvonly", "sendrecv", or
+ "inactive" (without the quotes) with relation to the device being
+ configured.
+
+ o <URI> is a URI, as above.
+
+ The formal BNF syntax is presented in Section 8 of this
+ specification.
+
+ Example:
+
+ a=extmap:1 http://example.com/082005/ext.htm#ttime
+
+ a=extmap:2/sendrecv http://example.com/082005/ext.htm#xmeta short
+
+ When SDP signaling is used for the RTP session, it is the presence of
+ the "extmap" attribute(s) that is diagnostic that this style of
+ header extensions is used, not the magic number ("BEDE" or "100")
+ indicated above.
+
+6. SDP Signaling for Support of Mixed One-Byte and Two-Byte Header
+ Extensions
+
+ In order to allow for backward interoperability with systems that
+ do not support the mixing of one-byte and two-byte header extensions,
+ this document defines the "a=extmap-allow-mixed" Session Description
+ Protocol (SDP) [RFC4566] attribute to indicate if the participant is
+ capable of supporting this new mode. The attribute takes no value.
+ This attribute can be used at the session level or the media level.
+ A participant that proposes the use of this mode SHALL itself support
+ the reception of mixed one-byte and two-byte header extensions.
+
+ If SDP Offer/Answer [RFC3264] is supported and used, the negotiation
+ for mixed one-byte and two-byte extensions MUST be negotiated using
+ SDP Offer/Answer per [RFC3264]. In the absence of negotiations using
+
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ SDP Offer/Answer -- for example, when declarative SDP is used --
+ mixed headers MUST NOT occur unless the transmitter has some
+ (out-of-band) knowledge that all potential recipients support
+ this mode.
+
+ The formal definition of this attribute is:
+
+ Name: extmap-allow-mixed
+
+ Value: None
+
+ Usage Level: session, media
+
+ Charset Dependent: No
+
+ Example:
+
+ a=extmap-allow-mixed
+
+ When doing SDP Offer/Answer [RFC3264], an offering client that wishes
+ to use both one-byte and two-byte extensions MUST include the
+ attribute "a=extmap-allow-mixed" in the SDP offer. If
+ "a=extmap-allow-mixed" is present in the SDP offer, the answerer that
+ supports this mode and wishes to use it SHALL include the
+ "a=extmap-allow-mixed" attribute in the answer. In the cases where
+ the attribute has been excluded, both clients SHALL NOT use mixed
+ one-byte and two-byte extensions in the same RTP stream but MAY use
+ the one-byte or two-byte form exclusively (see Section 4.1.2).
+
+ When used per [SDP-BUNDLE], this attribute is specified as the
+ IDENTICAL category [SDP-MUX].
+
+7. SDP Offer/Answer
+
+ The simple signaling described above for the "extmap" attribute MAY
+ be enhanced in an SDP Offer/Answer [RFC3264] context, to permit:
+
+ o asymmetric behavior (extensions sent in only one direction),
+
+ o the offer of mutually exclusive alternatives, or
+
+ o the offer of more extensions than can be sent in a single session.
+
+ A direction attribute MAY be included in an "extmap"; without it, the
+ direction implicitly inherits, of course, from the stream direction
+ or is "sendrecv" for session-level attributes or extensions of
+ "inactive" streams. The direction MUST be one of "sendonly",
+ "recvonly", "sendrecv", or "inactive" as specified in [RFC3264].
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ Extensions, with their directions, MAY be signaled for an "inactive"
+ stream. It is an error to use an extension direction incompatible
+ with the stream direction (e.g., a "sendonly" attribute for a
+ "recvonly" stream).
+
+ If an offer or answer contains session-level mappings (and hence no
+ media-level mappings) and different behavior is desired for each
+ stream, then the entire set of extension map declarations MAY be
+ moved into the media-level section(s) of the SDP. (Note that this
+ specification does not permit mixing global and local declarations,
+ to make identifier management easier.)
+
+ If an extension map is offered as "sendrecv", explicitly or
+ implicitly, and asymmetric behavior is desired, the SDP answer MAY be
+ changed to modify or add direction qualifiers for that extension.
+
+ If an extension is marked as "sendonly" and the answerer desires to
+ receive it, the extension MUST be marked as "recvonly" in the SDP
+ answer. An answerer that has no desire to receive the extension or
+ does not understand the extension SHOULD remove it from the SDP
+ answer. An answerer MAY want to respond that he supports the
+ extension and does not want to receive it at the moment, but he may
+ indicate a desire to receive it in a future offer and will mark the
+ extension as "inactive".
+
+ If an extension is marked as "recvonly" and the answerer desires to
+ send it, the extension MUST be marked as "sendonly" in the SDP
+ answer. An answerer that has no desire to, or is unable to, send the
+ extension SHOULD remove it from the SDP answer. An answerer MAY want
+ to respond that he supports this extension but has no intention of
+ sending it now; he may indicate a desire to send it in a future offer
+ by marking the extension as "inactive".
+
+ Local identifiers in the valid range inclusive in an offer or answer
+ must not be used more than once per media section (including the
+ session-level section). The local identifiers MUST be unique in an
+ RTP session, and the same identifier MUST be used for the same
+ offered extension in the answer. A session update MAY change the
+ direction qualifiers of extensions being used. A session update MAY
+ add or remove extension(s). Identifier values in the valid range
+ MUST NOT be altered (remapped).
+
+ Note that, under this rule, the same local identifier cannot be used
+ for two extensions for the same media, even when one is "sendonly"
+ and the other "recvonly", as it would then be impossible to make
+ either of them "sendrecv" (since renumbering is not permitted
+ either).
+
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ If a party wishes to offer mutually exclusive alternatives, then
+ multiple extensions with the same identifier in the extended range
+ 4096-4351 MAY be offered. The answerer SHOULD select, at most, one
+ of the offered extensions with the same identifier and remap it to a
+ free identifier in the valid range for that extension to be usable.
+
+ Similarly, if more extensions are offered than can be fit in the
+ valid range, identifiers in the range 4096-4351 MAY be offered; the
+ answerer SHOULD choose those that are desired and remap them to a
+ free identifier in the valid range.
+
+ An answerer may copy an "extmap" for an identifier in the extended
+ range into the answer to indicate to the offerer that it supports
+ that extension. Of course, such an extension cannot be used, since
+ there is no way to specify it in an extension header. If needed, the
+ offerer or answerer can update the session to assign a valid
+ identifier to that extension URI.
+
+ Rationale: The range 4096-4351 for these negotiation identifiers is
+ deliberately restricted to allow expansion of the range of valid
+ identifiers in the future.
+
+ Either party MAY include extensions in the stream other than those
+ negotiated, or those negotiated as "inactive" (for example, for the
+ benefit of intermediate nodes). Only extensions that appeared with
+ an identifier in the valid range in SDP originated by the sender can
+ be sent.
+
+ Example (port numbers, RTP profiles, payload IDs, rtpmaps, etc. all
+ omitted for brevity):
+
+ The offer:
+
+ a=extmap:1 URI-toffset
+ a=extmap:14 URI-obscure
+ a=extmap:4096 URI-gps-string
+ a=extmap:4096 URI-gps-binary
+ a=extmap:4097 URI-frametype
+ m=video
+ a=sendrecv
+ m=audio
+ a=sendrecv
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 15]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ The answerer is interested in receiving GPS in string format only on
+ video but cannot send GPS at all. It is not interested in
+ transmission offsets on audio and does not understand the URI-obscure
+ extension. It therefore moves the extensions from session level to
+ media level and adjusts the declarations:
+
+ m=video
+ a=sendrecv
+ a=extmap:1 URI-toffset
+ a=extmap:2/recvonly URI-gps-string
+ a=extmap:3 URI-frametype
+ m=audio
+ a=sendrecv
+ a=extmap:1/sendonly URI-toffset
+
+ When using [SDP-BUNDLE] to bundle multiple "m=" lines, the "extmap"
+ attribute falls under the SPECIAL category of [SDP-MUX]. All the
+ "m=" lines in a BUNDLE group are considered to be part of the same
+ local identifier (ID) space. If an RTP header extension, i.e., a
+ particular extension URI and configuration using
+ <extensionattributes>, is offered in multiple "m=" lines that are
+ part of the same BUNDLE group, it MUST use the same ID in all of
+ these "m=" lines. Each "m=" line in a BUNDLE group can include
+ different RTP header extensions allowing, for example, audio and
+ video sources to use different sets of RTP header extensions. A
+ difference in configuration using any of the <extensionattributes> is
+ important. Unless an RTP header extension explicitly states
+ otherwise, any such difference SHALL be communicated to all receivers
+ and SHALL cause assignment of different IDs. An RTP header extension
+ that does not follow this rule MUST explicitly define what would
+ constitute compatible configurations that can be sent with the
+ same ID. The directionality of the RTP header extensions in each
+ "m=" line of the BUNDLE group is handled in the same way as handling
+ for non-bundled "m=" lines. This allows for specifying different
+ directionality for each of the repeated extension URIs in a BUNDLE
+ group.

+8. BNF Syntax
+
+ The syntax definition below uses ABNF according to [RFC5234]. The
+ syntax element "URI" is defined in [RFC3986] (only absolute URIs are
+ permitted here). The syntax element "extmap" is an attribute as
+ defined in [RFC4566], i.e., "a=" precedes the "extmap" definition.
+ Specific <extensionattributes> are defined by the specification that
+ defines a specific extension name; there can be several.
+
+ Name: extmap
+
+ Value: extmap-value
+
+ Syntax:
+
+ extmap-value = mapentry SP extensionname
+ [SP extensionattributes]
+
+ mapentry = "extmap:" 1*5DIGIT ["/" direction]
+
+ extensionname = URI
+
+ extensionattributes = byte-string
+
+ direction = "sendonly" / "recvonly" / "sendrecv" / "inactive"
+
+ URI = <Defined in RFC 3986>
+
+ byte-string = <Defined in RFC 4566>
+
+ SP = <Defined in RFC 5234>
+
+ DIGIT = <Defined in RFC 5234>
+
+9. Security Considerations
+
+ This document defines only a place to transmit information; the
+ security implications of each of the extensions must be discussed
+ with those extensions.
+
+ Extension usage is negotiated using [RFC3264], so integrity
+ protection and end-to-end authentication MUST be implemented. The
+ security considerations of [RFC3264] MUST be followed to prevent, for
+ example, extension-usage blocking.
+
+ Header extensions have the same security coverage as the RTP header
+ itself. When the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP)
+ [RFC3711] is used to protect RTP sessions, the RTP payload can be
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 17]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ both encrypted and integrity protected, while the RTP header is
+ either unprotected or integrity protected. In order to prevent DoS
+ attacks (for example, by changing the header extension) integrity
+ protection SHOULD be used. Lower-layer security protection such as
+ Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) [RFC6347] MAY be used. RTP
+ header extensions can carry sensitive information for which
+ participants in multimedia sessions want confidentiality. RFC 6904
+ [RFC6904] provides a mechanism that extends the mechanisms of SRTP to
+ selectively encrypt RTP header extensions in SRTP.
+
+ The RTP application designer needs to consider their security needs,
+ that includes cipher strength for SRTP packets in general and what
+ that means for the integrity and confidentiality of the RTP header
+ extensions. As defined by RFC 6904 [RFC6904], the encryption stream
+ cipher for the header extension is dependent on the chosen SRTP
+ cipher.
+
+ Other options for securing RTP are discussed in [RFC7201].
+
+10. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document updates the references in three IANA registries to
+ point to this document instead of RFC 5285, and updates and adds new
+ SDP attributes in Sections 10.2 and 10.3, respectively.
+
+10.1. Identifier Space for IANA to Manage
+
+ The mapping from the naming URI form to a reference to a
+ specification is managed by IANA. Insertion into this registry is
+ under the requirements of "Expert Review" as defined in [RFC8126].
+
+ IANA will also maintain a server that contains all of the registered
+ elements in a publicly accessible space.
+
+ Here is the formal declaration to comply with the IETF URN
+ sub-namespace specification [RFC3553].
+
+ o Registry name: RTP Compact Header Extensions
+
+ o Specification: RFC 5285 and RFCs updating RFC 5285
+
+ o Information required:
+
+ A. The desired extension naming URI
+
+ B. A formal reference to the publicly available specification
+
+
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 18]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ C. A short phrase describing the function of the extension
+
+ D. Contact information for the organization or person making the
+ registration
+
+ For extensions defined in RFCs, the URI SHOULD be of the form
+ urn:ietf:params:rtp-hdrext:, and the formal reference is the RFC
+ number of the RFC documenting the extension.
+
+ o Review process: Expert Review is REQUIRED. The expert reviewer
+ SHOULD check the following requirements:
+
+ 1. that the specification is publicly available;
+
+ 2. that the extension complies with the requirements of RTP, and
+ this specification, for header extensions (specifically, that
+ the header extension can be ignored or discarded without
+ breaking the RTP layer);
+
+ 3. that the extension specification is technically consistent (in
+ itself and with RTP), complete, and comprehensible;
+
+ 4. that the extension does not duplicate functionality in
+ existing IETF specifications (including RTP itself) or other
+ extensions already registered;
+
+ 5. that the specification contains a security analysis regarding
+ the content of the header extension;
+
+ 6. that the extension is generally applicable -- for example,
+ point-to-multipoint safe -- and the specification correctly
+ describes limitations if they exist;
+
+ 7. that the suggested naming URI form is appropriately chosen and
+ unique; and
+
+ 8. that for multiplexed "m=" lines [SDP-BUNDLE], any RTP header
+ extension with differences in configurations of
+ <extensionattributes> that do not require assignment of
+ different IDs MUST explicitly indicate this and provide rules
+ for what would constitute compatible configurations that can
+ be sent with the same ID.
+
+ o Size and format of entries: A mapping from a naming URI string to
+ a formal reference to a publicly available specification, with a
+ descriptive phrase and contact information.
+
+ o Initial assignments: None

+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+10.2. Registration of the SDP "extmap" Attribute
+
+ IANA has updated the registration of the "extmap" SDP attribute
+ [RFC4566] in the "att-field (both session and media level)"
+ subregistry of the "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters"
+ registry.
+
+ o Contact Name and email address: IETF, contacted via
+ <mmusic@ietf.org> (or a successor address designated by the IESG)
+
+ o Attribute Name: extmap
+
+ o Attribute Syntax: See Section 8 of RFC 8285.
+
+ o Attribute Semantics: The details of appropriate values are given
+ in RFC 8285.
+
+ o Usage Level: Media or session level
+
+ o Charset Dependent: No
+
+ o Purpose: Defines the mapping from the extension numbers used in
+ packet headers into extension names.
+
+ o Offer/Answer (O/A) Procedures: See Section 7 of RFC 8285.
+
+ o MUX Category: SPECIAL
+
+ o Reference: RFC 8285
+
+10.3. Registration of the SDP "extmap-allow-mixed" Attribute
+
+ IANA has registered one new SDP attribute in the "att-field (both
+ session and media level)" subregistry of the "Session Description
+ Protocol (SDP) Parameters" registry:
+
+ o Contact Name and email address: IETF, contacted via
+ <mmusic@ietf.org> (or a successor address designated by the IESG)
+
+ o Attribute Name: extmap-allow-mixed
+
+ o Attribute Syntax: See Section 6 of RFC 8285.
+
+ o Attribute Semantics: See Section 6 of RFC 8285.
+
+ o Attribute Value: None
+
+ o Usage Level: Media or session level
+
+
+
+Singer, et al. Standards Track [Page 20]
+
+RFC 8285 RTP Header Extensions October 2017
+
+
+ o Charset Dependent: No
+
+ o Purpose: Negotiate the use of one byte and two bytes in the same
+ RTP stream.
+
+ o O/A Procedures: See Section 6 of RFC 8285.
+
+ o MUX Category: IDENTICAL
+
+ o Reference: RFC 8285
+
+11. Changes from RFC 5285
+
+ The major motivation for updating [RFC5285] was to allow having
+ one-byte and two-byte RTP header extensions in the same RTP stream
+ (but not in the same RTP packet). The support for this case is
+ negotiated using a new SDP attribute, "extmap-allow-mixed", specified
+ in this document.
+
+ The other major change is to update the requirement from the RTP
+ specifications [RFC3550] and [RFC5285] that the header extension "is
+ designed so that the header extension may be ignored." This is
+ described in Section 4.1.
+
+ More text was added to Section 4.1.1 ("Transmission Considerations")
+ to clarify when and how many times to send the RTP header extension
+ to provide a higher probability of delivery.
+
+ The Security Considerations section was expanded.
+
+ The rest of the changes are editorial.
