RFC 5888: The Session Description Protocol (SDP) Grouping Framework

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8843, RFC 9143. Read both.

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

In this specification, we define a framework to group "m" lines in the Session Description Protocol (SDP) for different purposes. This framework uses the "group" and "mid" SDP attributes, both of which are defined in this specification. Additionally, we specify how to use the framework for two different purposes: for lip synchronization and for receiving a media flow consisting of several media streams on different transport addresses. This document obsoletes RFC 3388. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
