	Title		: SDP Capability Negotiation

The Session Description Protocol (SDP) was intended for describing 
   multimedia sessions for the purposes of session announcement, 
   session invitation, and other forms of multimedia session 
   initiation. SDP was not intended to provide capability indication or 
   capability negotiation, however over the years, SDP has seen 
   widespread adoption and as a result it has been gradually extended 
   to provide limited support for these, notably in the form of the 
   offer/answer model defined in RFC 3264. SDP does not define how to 
   negotiate one or more alternative transport protocols (e.g. RTP 
   profiles) or attributes. This makes it difficult to deploy new RTP 
   profiles such as secure RTP or RTP with RTCP-based feedback, 
   negotiate use of different security keying mechanisms, etc. It also 
   presents problems for some forms of media negotiation.  

   The purpose of this document is to address these shortcomings by 
   extending SDP with capability negotiation parameters and associated 
   offer/answer procedures to use those parameters in a backwards 
   compatible manner.  

   The document defines a general SDP Capability Negotiation framework. 
   It also specifies how to provide attributes and transport protocols 
   as capabilities and negotiate them using the framework. Extensions 
   for other types of capabilities (e.g. media types and media formats) 
   may be provided in other documents.
