RFC 8843: Negotiating Media Multiplexing Using the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 9143.
Current version: RFC 9143 — Negotiating Media Multiplexing Using the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This specification defines a new Session Description Protocol (SDP) Grouping Framework extension called 'BUNDLE'. The extension can be used with the SDP offer/answer mechanism to negotiate the usage of a single transport (5-tuple) for sending and receiving media described by multiple SDP media descriptions ("m=" sections). Such transport is referred to as a BUNDLE transport, and the media is referred to as bundled media. The "m=" sections that use the BUNDLE transport form a BUNDLE group. This specification defines a new RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Source Description (SDES) item and a new RTP header extension. This specification updates RFCs 3264, 5888, and 7941.
