Abstract
This document gives examples of Session Description Protocol (SDP)
offer/answer exchanges. Examples include codec negotiation and
selection, hold and resume, and addition and deletion of media
streams. The examples show multiple media types, bidirectional,
unidirectional, inactive streams and dynamic payload types. Common

Internet-Draft SDP Offer/Answer Examples June 2005
1. Overview
This document describes offer/answer examples of Session Description
Protocol (SDP) based on RFC 3264 [1]. The SDP in these examples is
defined by RFC 2327 [2]. The offers and answers are assumed to be
transported using a protocol such as Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP) [3].
Examples include codec negotiation and selection, hold and resume,
and addition and deletion of media streams. The examples show
multiple media types, bidirectional, unidirectional, inactive streams
and dynamic payload types. Common Third Party Call Control (3pcc)
[5] examples are also given.
The following sections contain examples in which two parties, Alice
and Bob, exchange SDP offers, answers, and, in some cases, additional
offers and answers. Note that the subject line (s=) contains a
single space character.
2. Codec Negotiation and Selection
2.1 Audio and Video 1
This common scenario shows a video and audio session in which
multiple codecs are offered but only one is accepted. As a result of
the exchange shown below, Alice and Bob may send only PCMU audio and
MPV video. Note: Dynamic payload type 97 is used for iLBC codec [6].

2.2 Audio and Video 2
Alice can support PCMU, PCMA, and iLBC codecs, but not more than one
at the same time. Alice offers all three to maximize chances of a
successful exchange and Bob accepts two of them. Audio only session
is established in initial exchange between Alice and Bob using either
PCMU or PCMA codecs (payload type in RTP packet tells which is being
used). Since Alice only supports one audio codec at a time, a second
offer is made with just that one codec to limit the codec choice to
just one.
Note: the version number is incremented in both SDP messages in the
second exchange. Now only the PCMU codec may be used for media
session between Alice and Bob.
Note: The declined video stream still present in the second exchange
of SDP with ports set to zero.

2.3 Audio and Video 3
Alice offers three audio and two video codecs, while Bob accepts with
a single audio and video codec. As a result of this exchange, Bob
and Alice use iLBC for audio and H261 for video.
Note: change of dynamic payload type from 97 to 99 between the offer
and the answer is OK since it references same codec.

2.4 Two Audio Streams
In this example, Alice wishes to establish separate audio streams,

Internet-Draft SDP Offer/Answer Examples June 2005
one for normal audio and the other for telephone-events. Alice
offers two separate streams, one audio with two codecs and the other
with RFC 2833 [4] tones (for DTMF). Bob accepts both audio streams
choosing the iLBC codec and telephone-events.

2.5 Audio and Video 4
Alice and Bob establish an audio and video session with a single
audio and video codec. In a second exchange, Bob changes his address
for media and Alice accepts with the same SDP as the initial exchange
(and as a result does not increment the version number).

2.6 Audio Only 1
Alice wishes to establish an audio session with Bob using either PCMU
codec or iLBC codec with RFC2833 tones, but not both at the same
time. The offer contains these two media streams. Bob declines the
first one and accepts the second one. If both media streams had been
accepted, Alice would have sent a second declining one of the
streams, as shown in Section 4.3.

2.7 Audio and Video 5
Alice and Bob establish an audio and video session in the first
exchange with a single audio and video codec. In the second
exchange, Alice adds a second video codec which Bob accepts which
allows Alice and Bob to switch between the two video codecs without
another offer/answer exchange.

2.8 Audio and Video 6
This example shows an audio and video offer that is accepted, but the
answerer wants the video sent to a different address than the audio.
This is a common scenario in conferencing where the video and audio
mixing utilizes different servers. In this example, Alice offers
audio and video and Bob accepts.

3. Hold and Resume Scenarios
3.1 Hold and Unhold 1
Alice calls Bob, but Bob answers placing Alice on hold. Bob then
takes Alice off hold in the second offer. Alice changes port number
in the second exchange. The media session between Alice and Bob is
now active after Alice's second answer. Note that a=sendrecv could
be present in both second offer and answer exchange. This is a
common flow in 3pcc [5] scenarios.

3.2 Hold with Two Streams
In this example, two audio streams are established in the first
offer/answer exchange. In this second offer/answer exchange, one of

the audio streams ins placed on hold. Alice offers two media
streams, a bidirectional audio stream and a send only telephone event
stream. Bob accepts both streams. Bob then puts Alice's audio
stream on hold but not the tone stream. Alice responds with
identical SDP to the initial offer.

4. Addition and Deletion of Media Streams
This section shows addition and deletion of media streams.
4.1 Second Audio Stream Added
In this example, the first offer/answer exchange establishes a single
audio stream with a single codec. The second offer/answer exchange
adds a second audio stream for telephone events. The second stream
is added by Bob's media server (different connection address) to
receive RFC 2833 telephone-events (DTMF digits, typically) from
Alice. Alice accepts. Even though the 2nd stream is unidirectional,
Alice receives RTCP packets on port 49173 from the media server.

5.2 Hold and Unhold 2
The first offer from Alice contains the connection address 0.0.0.0
and a random port number, which means that Bob can not send media to
Alice (the media stream is "black holed" or "bh"). Bob accepts with
normal SDP. In the second exchange, Alice changes the connection
address, Bob accepts, and a media session is established.

6. Security Considerations
SDP offer and answer messages can contain private information about
addresses and sessions to be established between parties. If this
information needs to be kept private, some security mechanism in the
protocol used to carry the offers and answers must be used. For SIP,
this means using TLS transport and/or S/MIME encryption of the SDP
message body.
It is important that SDP offer and answer messages be properly
authenticated and authorized before using them to establish a media
session. Example SIP mechanisms include SIP Digest, certs, or
cryptographically verified SIP identity.
7. IANA Considerations
This document introduces no IANA considerations.
