   Knowledge of what bandwidths the end-points intend to use is
   important both for the other end-point and for resource allocation in
   various types of networks.  This is especially important for wireless
   access networks which typically have quite limited resources.  The
   bandwidth attribute in Session Description Protocol (SDP), 'b=AS', is
   today quite widely used to define the bandwidth that the end-points
   intends to use, in various types of sessions.  This document will
   show that the existing bandwidth attribute, such as 'b=AS', although
   widely used in todays scenarios, has limitations that make it hard or
   even impossible for the end-points to express their intentions
   accurately when it comes to bandwidth usage.  To solve the identified
   problems, this document defines a new extensible SDP bandwidth
   attribute 'a=bw' which enables more detailed control over the
   bandwidth declarations, request, and allocations.  With the new
   bandwidth attribute it is possible to define different scopes in the
   session setup and then negotiate the bandwidth individually for each
   scope.
