Introduction + + [RFC3551] says that audio applications operating under the RTP/AVP + profile SHOULD be able to send and receive PCMU and DVI4. However, + in practice, many RTP deployments do not support DVI4, and there is + little reason to use it when much more modern codecs are available. + This document updates the recommended audio codec selection for the + RTP/AVP profile and removes the SHOULD for DVI4. By extension, this + also updates the profiles that build on RTP/AVP, including RTP/SAVP + [RFC3711], RTP/AVPF [RFC4585], and RTP/SAVPF [RFC5124]. + +2. Terminology + + 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 [RFC2119]. + + + + + + + + +Terriberry Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 7007 RTP/AVP Codecs August 2013 + + +3. Updates to RFC 3551 + + The following text of [RFC3551] is hereby updated as set forth in + Section 3.1: + + Audio applications operating under this profile SHOULD, at a + minimum, be able to send and/or receive payload types 0 (PCMU) + and 5 (DVI4). This allows interoperability without format + negotiation and ensures successful negotiation with a conference + control protocol. + +3.1. Updates to Section 6 of RFC 3551 + + This document updates the final paragraph of Section 6 of RFC 3551 by + replacing "payload types 0 (PCMU) and 5 (DVI4)" with "payload + type 0 (PCMU)". We also add a final sentence to that paragraph that + states, "Some environments necessitate support for PCMU". This + results in the following paragraph: + + Audio applications operating under this profile SHOULD, at a + minimum, be able to send and/or receive payload type 0 (PCMU). + This allows interoperability without format negotiation and + ensures successful negotiation with a conference control protocol. + Some environments necessitate support for PCMU. + +4. Security Considerations + + This document does not introduce any new security considerations for + [RFC3551]. + +5.
