This document defines a Session Description Protocol (SDP) Transport
Independent Application Specific Maximum (TIAS) bandwidth modifier
that does not include transport overhead; instead an additional packet
rate attribute is defined. The transport independent bit-rate value
together with the maximum packet rate can then be used to calculate
the real bit-rate over the transport actually used.
The existing SDP bandwidth modifiers and their values include the
bandwidth needed for the transport and IP layers. When using SDP with
protocols like the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP), the Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP), and the Real-Time Streaming Protocol
(RTSP), and when the involved hosts has different transport overhead,
for example due to different IP versions, the interpretation of what
lower layer bandwidths are included is not clear.
This document is a product of the Multiparty Multimedia Session
Control Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
