Source Description (SDES) items are normally transported in the RTP
Control Protocol (RTCP). In some cases, it can be beneficial to
speed up the delivery of these items. The main case is when a new
synchronization source (SSRC) joins an RTP session and the receivers
need this source's identity, relation to other sources, or its
synchronization context, all of which may be fully or partially
identified using SDES items. To enable this optimization, this
document specifies a new RTP header extension that can carry SDES
items.
This document is a product of the Audio/Video Transport Extensions Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
