+ Registering Values of the SDP 'proto' Field
+ for Transporting RTP Media over TCP under Various RTP Profiles
+
+Abstract

+ registry of profile names for use by higher-level control protocols,
+ such as the Session Description Protocol (SDP), to refer to the
+ transport methods. This specification describes the following new
+ SDP transport protocol identifiers for transporting RTP Media over
+ TCP: 'TCP/RTP/AVPF', 'TCP/RTP/SAVP', 'TCP/RTP/SAVPF',
+ 'TCP/DTLS/RTP/SAVP', 'TCP/DTLS/RTP/SAVPF', 'TCP/TLS/RTP/AVP', and
+ 'TCP/TLS/RTP/AVPF'.

+1. Overview
+
+ The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) provides end-to-end network
+ transport functions suitable for applications transmitting real-time
+ data such as audio or video over multicast or unicast network
+ services. The data transport is augmented by the RTP Control
+ Protocol (RTCP) to allow monitoring of the data delivery in a manner
+ scalable to large multicast networks and to provide minimal control
+ and identification functionality.
+
+ "SDP: Session Description Protocol" [RFC4566] provides a general-
+ purpose format for describing multimedia sessions in announcements or
+ invitations. "TCP-Based Media Transport in the Session Description
+ Protocol (SDP)" [RFC4145] specifies a general mechanism for
+ describing media transport over TCP using SDP with [RFC4571] defining
+ a method for framing RTP and RTCP packets [RFC3550] onto a
+ connection-oriented transport (such as TCP). "Connection-Oriented
+ Media Transport over the Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol in
+ the Session Description Protocol (SDP)" [RFC4572] extends [RFC4145]
+ for describing TCP-based media streams that are protected using TLS
+ [RFC5246].
+
+ This specification describes additional SDP transport protocol
+ identifiers for transporting RTP media over TCP as defined in
+ Section 3.

+
+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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
+
+3. Protocol Identifiers
+
+ The "m=" line in SDP specifies, among other items, the transport
+ protocol (identified via the "proto" field) to be used for the media
+ in the session. See Section 5.14 (Media Descriptions) of SDP
+ [RFC4566] for a discussion on transport protocol identifiers.
+
+ The following is the format for an "m=" line, as specified in
+ [RFC4566]:
+
+ m=<media> <port> <proto> <fmt> ...
+
+3.1. TCP/RTP/AVPF Transport Realization
+
+ The TCP/RTP/AVPF transport describes RTP media with RTCP-based
+ feedback [RFC4585] over TCP.
+
+ The RTP/AVPF stream over TCP is realized using the framing method
+ defined in [RFC4571].
+
+3.2. TCP/RTP/SAVP Transport Realization
+
+ The TCP/RTP/SAVP transport describes Secure RTP (SRTP) media
+ [RFC3711] over TCP.
+
+ The RTP/SAVP stream over TCP is realized using the framing method
+ defined in [RFC4571].
+
+3.3. TCP/RTP/SAVPF Transport Realization
+
+ The TCP/RTP/SAVPF transport describes Secure RTP media with RTCP-
+ based feedback [RFC5124] over TCP.
+
+ The RTP/SAVPF stream over TCP is realized using the framing method
+ defined in [RFC4571].
+
+3.4. TCP/DTLS/RTP/SAVP Transport Realization
+
+ The TCP/DTLS/RTP/SAVP transport describes Secure RTP media [RFC3711]
+ using Datagram Transport Layer Security SRTP (DTLS-SRTP) [RFC5764]
+ over TCP.
+
+
+
+
+Nandakumar Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 7850 SDP 'proto' Registrations April 2016
+
+
+ RTP/SAVP using DTLS-based key establishment is realized according to
+ the procedures defined in [RFC5764]. Also, the framing specified in
+ [RFC4571] is used to transport DTLS-SRTP packets over TCP.
+
+3.5. TCP/DTLS/RTP/SAVPF Transport Realization
+
+ The TCP/DTLS/RTP/SAVPF transport describes Secure RTP media with
+ RTCP-based feedback [RFC5124] using DTLS-SRTP over TCP.
+
+ RTP/SAVPF using DTLS-based key establishment is realized according to
+ the procedures defined in [RFC5764]. Also, the framing specified in
+ [RFC4571] is used to transport DTLS-SRTP packets over TCP.
+
+3.6. TCP/TLS/RTP/AVP Transport Realization
+
+ The TCP/TLS/RTP/AVP transport describes RTP Media on top of TLS over
+ TCP.
+
+ RTP/AVP packets are framed using the procedures from [RFC4571] and
+ are transported as application data messages over the TLS association
+ setup using the procedures from [RFC4572].
+
+3.7. TCP/TLS/RTP/AVPF Transport Realization
+
+ The TCP/TLS/RTP/AVPF transport describes RTP media with RTCP-based
+ feedback [RFC5124] on top of TLS over TCP.
+
+ RTP/AVPF packets are framed using the procedures from [RFC4571] and
+ are transported as application data messages over the TLS association
+ setup using the procedures from [RFC4572].
+
+4. ICE Considerations
+
+ When procedures from [RFC6544] are used to set up Interactive
+ Connectivity Establishment (ICE) [RFC5245] candidates for a TCP
+ transport, the framing mechanism from [RFC4571] MUST be used for
+ framing Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) packets (for
+ keepalives and consent checks), as defined in Section 3 of [RFC6544].
+
+5. IANA Considerations
+
+ This specification describes the following new SDP transport protocol
+ identifiers: 'TCP/RTP/AVPF', 'TCP/RTP/SAVP', 'TCP/RTP/SAVPF',
+ 'TCP/DTLS/RTP/SAVP', 'TCP/DTLS/RTP/SAVPF', 'TCP/TLS/RTP/AVP', and
+ 'TCP/TLS/RTP/AVPF', as defined in Section 3. These values have been
+ registered by the IANA under the "proto" subregistry in the "Session
+ Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters" registry.

+6. Security Considerations
+
+ The new "proto" identifiers registered by this document in the SDP
+ parameters registry maintained by IANA are primarily for use by the
+ offer/answer model of the Session Description Protocol [RFC3264] for
+ the negotiation and establishment of RTP-based media over the TCP
+ transport. This specification doesn't introduce any additional
+ security considerations beyond those specified by the individual
+ transport protocols identified in the "proto" identifiers and those
+ detailed in Section 7 of [RFC4566].
