RFC 3605: Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP) attribute in Session Description Protocol (SDP)

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The Session Description Protocol (SDP) is used to describe the parameters of media streams used in multimedia sessions. When a session requires multiple ports, SDP assumes that these ports have consecutive numbers. However, when the session crosses a network address translation device that also uses port mapping, the ordering of ports can be destroyed by the translation. To handle this, we propose an extension attribute to SDP.
