  <abstract>
   <t>The Real-Time Communication in WEB-browsers (RTCWeb) working group 
   is charged to provide protocols to support direct interactive rich 
   communications using audio, video, and data between two peers' 
   web-browsers. For the support of data communication, the RTCWeb working 
   group has in particular defined the concept of bi-directional data 
   channels over SCTP, where each data channel might be used to transport 
   other protocols, called sub-protocols. Data channel setup can be 
   done using either the internal in-band band (also referred to as 
   'internal' for the rest of the document) Data Channel Establishment 
   Protocol or some external out-of-band simply referred to as 
   'external negotiation' in the rest of the document . This document specifies 
   how the SDP offer/answer exchange can be used to achieve such an 
   external negotiation. Even though data channels are designed for RTCWeb 
   use initially they may be used by other protocols like, but not limited 
   to, the CLUE protocol. This document is intended to be used wherever 
   data channels are used.</t>

  <section title="Introduction">
   <t>The RTCWeb working group has defined the concept of bi-directional data 
   channels running on top of SCTP/DTLS. RTCWeb leaves it open for other 
   applications to use data channels and its in-band or out-of-band 
   protocol for creating them. Each data channel consists of paired SCTP 
   streams sharing the same SCTP Stream Identifier. Data channels are created 
   by endpoint applications through the WebRTC API, or other users of 
   data channel like CLUE, and can be used to transport proprietary 
   or well-defined protocols, which in the latter case can be signaled 
   by the data channel "sub-protocol" parameter, conceptually similar to 
   the WebSocket "sub-protocol". However, apart from the "sub-protocol" 
   value transmitted to the peer, RTCWeb leaves it open how endpoint 
   applications can agree on how to instantiate a given sub-protocol on 
   a data channel, and whether it is signaled in-band or out-of-band (or 
   both). In particular, the SDP offer generated by the application includes 
   no channel-specific information.</t>

   <t>This document defines SDP-based out-of-band negotiation procedures 
   to establish data channels for transport of well-defined sub-protocols.</t>

  <section title="Terminology" anchor="terminology">
   <t>This document uses the following terms:
    <list style="hanging">
     <t>Data channel: A WebRTC data channel as specified in 
     <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-channel"/>.</t>

     <t>Data channel stack: An entity which, upon application request, 
     runs data channel protocol to keep track of states, sending and receive 
     data. If the application is browser based JavaScript application 
     then this stack resides in the browser. If the application is a 
     native application then this stack resides in application and accessible 
     to it via some sort of APIs.</t>

     <t>Data channel properties: fixed properties assigned to a data 
     channel at the time of its creation. Some of these properties 
     determine the way the data channel stack transmits data on this 
     channel (e.g., stream identifier, reliability, order of delivery...).</t>

     <t>DCEP - Data Channel Establishment Protocol defined in 
     <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol"/>.</t>

     <t>External negotiation: Data channel negotiation based on SDP 
     offer/answer outlined in this specification.</t>

     <t>Internal negotiation: Data channel negotiation based on the Data 
     Channel Establishment Protocol defined in 
     <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol"/>.</t>

     <t>In-band: transmission through the peer-to-peer SCTP association.</t>

     <t>In-band negotiation: data channel negotiation based on the
     Data Channel Establishment Protocol defined in 
     <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol"/>.</t>

     <t>Out-of-band: transmission through the application signaling path.</t>

     <t>Peer: From the perspective of one of the agents in a session, its 
     peer is the other agent. Specifically, from the perspective of the 
     SDP offerer, the peer is the SDP answerer. From the perspective of 
     the SDP answerer, the peer is the SDP offerer.</t>

     <t>Stream identifier: the identifier of the outbound and inbound 
     SCTP streams composing a data channel.</t>
    </list>
   </t>
  </section>

  <section title="Data Channels" anchor="defch">
   <t>This section summarizes how data channels work in general. Note that 
   the references to 'browser' here is intentional as in this specific 
   example the data channel user is a Webrtc enabled browser.</t>

   <t>A WebRTC application creates a data channel via the data channel API,    
   by providing a number of setup parameters (sub-protocol, label, 
   reliability, order of delivery, priority). The application also specifies 
   if it wants to make use of the in-band negotiation using the DCEP 
   <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol"/>, or if the application 
   intends to perform an "external negotiation" using some other in-band 
   or out-of-band mechanism.</t>

   <t>In any case, the SDP offer generated by the browser is per 
   <xref target="I-D.ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp"/>. In brief, it contains one 
   "m" line for the SCTP association on top of which data channels will run, 
   and one attribute per protocol assigned to the SCTP ports:</t>

   <figure align="left" title="">

]]></artwork>
   </figure>

   <t>Note: A WebRTC browser will only use "m" line format "webrtc-datachannel", 
   and will not use other formats in the "m" line for other protocols 
   such as t38.
   <xref target="I-D.ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp"/> supports only one SCTP
   association to be established on top of a DTLS session. 
   </t>
   <t>Note: This SDP syntax does not contain any channel-specific 
   information.</t>

   <section title="Stream Identifier Numbering" anchor="si_num">

    <t>Independently from the requested type of negotiation, the application 
    creating a data channel can either pass to the browser the stream 
    identifier to assign to the data channel or else let the browser pick 
    one identifier from the ones unused.</t>

    <t>To avoid glare situations, each endpoint can moreover own an 
    exclusive set of stream identifiers, in which case an endpoint can 
    only create a data channel with a stream identifier it owns.</t>

    <t>Which set of stream identifiers is owned by which endpoint is 
    determined by convention or other means.

     <list style="hanging">
      <t>For data channels negotiated in-band, one endpoint owns by 
      convention the even stream identifiers, whereas the other owns the 
      odd stream identifiers, as defined in 
      <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol"/>.</t>
      <t>For data channels externally negotiated, no convention is defined by 
      default.</t>
     </list>
    </t>
   </section>

   <section title="Generic External Negotiation" anchor="sec-gen-ext-neg">

    <section title="Overview">
     <t>In-band negotiation only provides for negotiation of data channel 
     transport parameters and does not provide for negotiation of sub-protocol 
     specific parameters. External negotiation can be defined to allow 
     negotiation of parameters beyond those handled by in-band negotiation, 
     e.g., parameters specific to the sub-protocol instantiated on a 
     particular data channel. See <xref target="prot_att"/>
     for an example of such a parameter.</t>

     <t>The following procedures are common to all methods of external 
     negotiation, whether in-band (communicated using proprietary means on 
     an already established data channel) or out-of-band (using SDP or 
     some other protocol associated with the signaling channel).</t>
    </section>

    <section title="Opening a Data Channel" anchor="ext_open">

     <t>In the case of external negotiation, the endpoint application has the 
     option to fully control the stream identifier assignments. However 
     these assignments have to coexist with the assignments controlled by 
     the data channel stack for the in-band negotiated data channels (if 
     any). It is the responsibility of the application to ensure consistent 
     assignment of stream identifiers.</t>

     <t>When the application requests the creation of a new data channel to 
     be set up via external negotiation, the data channel stack creates 
     the data channel locally without sending any DATA_CHANNEL_OPEN message 
     in-band, and sets the data channel state to Connecting if the SCTP 
     association is not yet established, or sets the data channel state to 
     Open if the SCTP association is already established. The side which 
     starts external negotiation creates data channel using underlying data 
     channel stack API and the data channel is put into open state 
     immediately (assuming ICE, SCTP procedures were already done). However, 
     the application can't send data on this data channel until external 
     negotiation is complete with the peer. This is because peer needs 
     to be aware and accept the data channel via external negotiation. The 
     peer after accepting the data channel offer can start sending data 
     immediately. This implies that the offerer may get data channel message 
     before external negotiation is complete and the application should be 
     ready to handle it.</t>

     <t>If the peer rejects the data channel part of the offer then it 
     doesn't have to do anything as the data channel was not created using 
     the stack. The offerer on the other hand needs to close the data 
     channel that was opened by invoking relevant data channel stack API 
     procedures.</t>
 
     <t>It is also worth noting that a data channel stack implementation may 
     not provide any API to create and close data channels; instead the 
     data channels are used on the fly as needed just by communicating 
     via external means or by even having some local configuration/assumptions 
     on both the peers.</t>

     <t>The application then externally negotiates the data channel 
     properties and sub-protocol properties with the peer's application.</t>

     <t>[ASSUMPTION] The peer must then symmetrically create a data channel 
     with these negotiated data channel properties. This is the only way 
     for the peer's data channel stack to know which properties to apply 
     when transmitting data on this channel. The data channel stack must 
     allow data channel creation with any non-conflicting stream identifier 
     so that both peers can create the data channel with the same 
     stream identifier.</t>

     <t>In case the external negotiation is correlated with an SDP offer/answer 
     exchange that establishes the SCTP association, the SCTP initialization 
     completion triggers a callback from the data channel stack to an 
     application on both the ends to change the data channel state from 
     Connecting to Open. The details of this interface is specific to the 
     data channel user application. Browser based applications (could include 
     hybrid apps) will use <xref target="WebRtcAPI"/>, while native 
     applications use a compatible API, which is yet to be specified. 
     See <xref target="opendc"/> for details on when the data 
     channel stack can assume the data channel is open, and on when the 
     application can assume the data channel is open.</t>

    </section>

    <section title="Closing a Data Channel">

     <t>When the application requests the closing of an externally negotiated 
     data channel, the data channel stack always performs an in-band SSN 
     reset for this channel.</t>

     <t>Depending upon the method used for external negotiation and the 
     sub-protocol associated with the data channel, the closing might in 
     addition be signaled to the peer via external negotiation.</t>

  <section title="SDP-based External Negotiation" anchor="sec-sdp-ext-neg">

   <t>This section defines a method of external negotiation by which 
   two clients can negotiate data channel-specific and sub-protocol-specific 
   parameters, using the out-of-band SDP offer/answer exchange. This SDP 
   extension can only be used with SDP offer/answer model.</t>

   <section title="SDP Syntax" anchor="sdp_synt">

     <t>Two new SDP attributes are defined to support external negotiation of 
     data channels. The first attribute provides for negotiation of 
     channel-specific parameters. The second attribute provides for 
     negotiation of sub-protocol-specific parameters.</t>

     <section title="SDP Attribute for Data Channel Parameter Negotiation"  
              anchor="subsec-sdp-attr-for-dc-par-neg">

      <t>Associated with the SDP "m" line that defines the SCTP association for 
      data channels (defined in Section 4), each SDP offer and answer 
      includes one "a=dcmap:" attribute that defines the data channel parameters for 
      each data channel to be negotiated. Each such attribute line specifies the 
      following parameters for a data channel: SCTP stream identifier, 
      sub-protocol, label, reliability, order of delivery, and priority.</t>

      <t>The intention of exchanging these attributes is to create data 
      channels on both the peers with the same set of attributes without 
      actually using <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol"/>. It 
      is assumed that the data channel properties (reliable/partially reliable, 
      ordered/unordered) are suitable per the sub-protocol transport 
      requirements.</t>

      Sub-protocol-specific attributes might also be defined for exclusive 
      use with data channel transport, but should use the same syntax 
      described here for other sub-protocol-specific attributes.</t>

      <t>Each sub-protocol specific SDP attribute that would normally 
      be used to negotiate the subprotocol using SDP is replaced with 
      an attribute of the form "a=dcsa:stream-id original-attribute",
      where dcsa stands for "data channel sub-protocol attribute", 
      stream-id is the SCTP stream identifier assigned to this sub-protocol 
      instance, and original-attribute represents the contents of the 
      sub-protocol related attribute to be included.

      <t>Thus in the example above, the original attribute line 
      "a=accept-types:text/plain" is represented by the attribute line 
      "a=dcsa:2 accept-types:text/plain", which specifies that this 
      instance of MSRP being transported on the sctp association using 
      the data channel with stream id 2 accepts 
      plain text files.</t>

      <t>As opposed to the data channel "a=dcmap:" attribute parameters, 
      these parameters

      <t>The same syntax applies to any other SDP attribute required for 
      negotiation of this instance of the sub-protocol.</t>

      <t>Note: This document does not provide a complete specification of 
      how to negotiate the use of a data channel to transport MSRP. 
      Procedures specific to each sub-protocol such as MSRP will be

      <t>If an SDP offer / answer exchange 
      (could be the initial or a subsequent one)
      results in a UDP/DTLS/SCTP or TCP/DTLS/SCTP based media description being
      accepted, and if this SDP offer / answer exchange results in the
      establishment of a new SCTP association, then the SDP offerer owns the
      even SCTP stream ids of this new SCTP association and the answerer owns
      the odd SCTP stream identifiers.
      If this "m" line is removed from the signaling session (its port number 
      set to zero), and if usage of this or of a new UDP/DTLS/SCTP or
      TCP/DTLS/SCTP based "m" line is renegotiated later on, 
      then the even and odd SCTP stream identifier
      ownership is redetermined as well as described above.</t>

      <t>
      This specification allows simultaneous use of external and internal
      negotiation.  However, a single stream is managed using one method at
      a time.  Stream ids that are not currently used in SDP can be used
      for internal negotiation.  Stream id allocation per SDP based external
      negotiation may not align with DTLS role based allocation.  This could
      cause glare conditions when one side trying to do external
      negotiation on a stream id while the other end trying to open a data
      channel on the same stream id using internal negotiation.  To avoid
      these glare conditions this specification recommends that the data
      channel stack user always selects stream ids per above described SDP offer / answer
      rule even when internal negotiation is used.  To avoid glare
      conditions, it is possible to come up with a different stream id
      allocation scheme, but such schemes are outside the scope of this
      specification.</t>

      is achieved by including only one of 'max-retr' or 'max-time'. 
      By definition max-retr and max-time are mutually exclusive, 
      so only one of them can be present in a=dcmap. If an SDP offer contains 
      both of these parameters then such an SDP offer will be rejected. 
      If an SDP answer contains both of these parameters then the offerer may

              anchor="opendc">
      <t>The procedure for opening a data channel using external negotiation 
      starts with the agent preparing to send an SDP offer. If a peer 
      receives an SDP offer before getting to send a new SDP offer with 
      data channels that are to be externally negotiated, or loses an SDP 
      offer glare resolution procedure in this case, it must wait until the 
      ongoing SDP offer/answer completes before resuming the external negotiation
      procedure.</t>

      <t>The agent that intends to send an SDP offer to create data 
      channels through SDP-based external negotiation performs the following:
       <list style="symbols">
        <t>Creates data channels using stream identifiers from the owned 
        set (see <xref target="id_mngt"/>).</t>

        <t>As described in <xref target="ext_open"/>, if the SCTP 
        association is not yet established, then the newly created data 
        channels are in the Connecting state, else if the SCTP association 
        is already established, then the newly created data channels are 
        in the Open state.</t>
        <t>Generates a new SDP offer. In the case of the browser based 
        applications the browser generates the offer via the createOffer() API 
        call <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-jsep"/>.</t>

        <t>Determines the list of stream identifiers assigned to data channels 
        opened through external negotiation.</t>
        <t>Completes the SDP offer with the dcmap and dcsa attributes needed, 
        if any, for each externally-negotiated data channel, as described in 
        <xref target="sdp_synt"/> and in <xref target="param_negotiation"/>.</t>
        <t>Sends the SDP offer.</t>
       </list>
      </t>

     <t>The peer receiving such an SDP offer performs the following:
      <list style="symbols">
       <t>Parses and applies the SDP offer. Note that the typical parser
       normally ignores unknown SDP attributes, which includes data 
       channel related attributes.</t>

       <t>Analyzes the channel parameters and sub-protocol attributes to 
       determine whether to accept each offered data channel.</t>

       <t>For accepted data channels, it creates peer instances for the 
       data channels with the agent using the channel parameters 
       described in the SDP offer. Note that the agent is asked to 
       create data channels with SCTP stream identifiers 
       contained in the SDP offer if the SDP offer is accepted.</t>

       <t>As described in <xref target="ext_open"/>, if the SCTP association 
       is not yet established, then the newly created data channels are in 
       the Connecting state, else if the SCTP association is already 
       established, then the newly created data channels are in the 
       Open state.</t>

       <t>Generates an SDP answer.</t>

       <t>Completes the SDP answer with the dcmap and optional dcsa 
       attributes needed for each externally-negotiated data channel, 
       as described in <xref target="sdp_synt"/> 
       and in <xref target="param_negotiation"/>.</t>

       <t>Sends the SDP answer.</t>
      </list>
     </t>

     <t>The agent receiving such an SDP answer performs the following:
      <list style="symbols">
       <t>Closes any created data channels (whether in Connecting or Open 
       state) for which the expected dcmap and dcsa attributes are not 
       present in the SDP answer.</t>

       <t>Applies the SDP answer.</t>

     </t>

     <t>Any data channels in Connecting state are transitioned to the 
     Open state when the SCTP association is established.</t>

     <t>Each agent application MUST wait to send data until it has 
     confirmation that the data channel at the peer is in the Open state. 
     For WebRTC, this is when both data channel stacks have channel 
     parameters instantiated. This occurs:
     <list style="symbols">
      <t>At both peers when a data channel is created without an 
      established SCTP association, as soon as the data channel stacks 
      report that the data channel transitions to the Open state from the 
      Connecting state.</t>
      <t>At the agent receiving an SDP offer for which there is an 
      established SCTP association, as soon as it creates an externally 
      negotiated data channel in the Open state based on information 
      signaled in the SDP offer.</t>
      <t>At the agent sending an SDP offer to create a new externally 
      negotiated data channel for which there is an established SCTP 
      association, when it receives the SDP answer confirming acceptance

    <section title="Closing a Data Channel"
             anchor="close-dc">
     <t>When the application requests the closing of a data channel that 
     was externally negotiated, the data channel stack always performs an 
     in-band SSN reset for this channel.</t>

     <t>It is specific to the sub-protocol whether this closing must     
     in addition be signaled to the peer via a new SDP offer/answer 
     exchange.</t>

     <t>The intention to close a data channel can be signaled
     by sending a new SDP offer which 
     excludes the "a=dcmap:" and "a=dcsa:" attribute lines for the data channel. 
     The port value for the "m" line SHOULD not be changed (e.g., to zero) 
     when closing a data channel (unless all data channels are being 
     closed and the SCTP association is no longer needed), since this 
     would close the SCTP association and impact all of the data channels. 
     If the answerer accepts the SDP offer then it MUST close those data channels
     whose "a=dcmap:" and "a=dcsa:" attribute lines were excluded from the received
     SDP offer, unless those data channels were already closed,
     and it MUST also exclude the 
     corresponding attribute lines in the answer. In addition to that, 
     the SDP answerer MAY exclude other data channels 
     which were closed but not yet
     communicated to the peer. So, the offerer MUST inspect the answer to see if it 
     has to close other data channels which are now not included 
     in the answer.</t>

     <t>If a new SDP offer/answer is used to close data channels then 
     the data channel(s) SHOULD only be closed by the answerer/offerer 
     after a successful SDP answer is sent/received.
      <list style="hanging">
       <t>This delayed closure is RECOMMENDED in order
       to handle cases where a successful SDP answer is not received, in 
       which case the state of the session SHOULD be kept per the last 
       successful SDP offer/answer.</t>
      </list>
     </t>

     <t>If a client receives a data channel close indication (due to inband 
     SSN reset or some other reason) without associated SDP offer then 
     an SDP offer which excludes this closed data channel SHOULD be 
     generated.</t>
     <t>The application must also close any data channel that was externally 
     negotiated, for which the stream identifiers are not listed in 
     an incoming SDP offer.</t>

     <t> A closed data channel using local close (SCTP reset), 
     without an additional SDP offer/answer to close it, 
     may be reused for a new data channel. This can only be done via 
     new SDP offer/answer, describing the new sub-protocol and its attributes, 
     only after the corresponding data channel close acknowledgement is 
     received from the peer (i.e. SCTP reset of both incoming and outgoing 
     streams is completed). This restriction is to avoid the race conditions 
     between arrival of "SDP offer which reuses stream" with "SCTP reset which 
     closes outgoing stream" at the peer</t>

   <t>In the above example the SDP answerer rejected the data channel 
   with stream id 0 either for explicit reasons or because it does not 
   understand the a=dcmap attribute. 
   As a result the offerer will close the data channel created with the 
   external negotiation option. The SCTP association will still be setup over DTLS.

   'OPEN ISSUE: The syntax in <xref target="I-D.ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp"/> may 
   change as that document progresses. In particular we expect 
   "webrtc-datachannel" to become a more general term.'</t>

   <t>Consistent usage of '"m" line' in whole document as per 
   <xref target="RFC4566"/>.</t>

   <t>In <xref target="subsec-sdp-attr-for-dc-par-neg"/>
   removal of the example dcmap attribute line
   'a=dcmap:2 subprotocol="BFCP";label="channel 2' as there are already
   four examples right after the ABNF rules in 
   <xref target="dcmap-attr-definition"/>.
   Corresponding removal of following related note:
   "Note: This document does not provide a complete specification 
   of how to negotiate the use of a WebRTC data channel to transport BFCP. 
   Procedures specific to each sub-protocol such as BFCP will be 
   documented elsewhere. The use of BFCP is only an example of how 
   the generic procedures described herein might apply to a specific 
   sub-protocol."</t>

   <t>In <xref target="subsec-sdp-attr-for-dc-par-neg"/>
   removal of following note:
   "Note: This attribute is derived from attribute "webrtc-DataChannel",
   which was defined in old version 03 of the 
   following draft, but which was removed along with any support for SDP 
   external negotiation in subsequent versions: 
   <xref target="I-D.ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp"/>."</t>

   <t>Insertion of following new sentence to the beginning of 
   <xref target="dcmap-attr-definition"/>:
   "dcmap is a media level attribute having following ABNF syntax:"</t>

   <t>Insertion of new <xref target="dcmap-stream-id-param-definition"/>
   containing the dcmap-stream-id specifying sentence, which previously 
   was placed right before the formal ABNF rules.
   Removal of the sentence 'Stream is a mandatory
   parameter and is noted directly after the "a=dcmap:" attribute's
   colon' as this information is part of the ABNF specification.</t>

   <t>In <xref target="dcmap-attr-definition"/> modification of the
   'ordering-value' values from "0" or "1" to "true" or "false".
   Corresponding text modifications in <xref target="ordered-param-description"/>.</t>

   <t>In <xref target="dcmap-attr-definition"/> the ABNF definition of "quoted-string"
   referred to rule name "escaped-char", which was not defined.
   Instead a rule with name "escaped" was defined. Renamed that rule's name
   to "escaped-char".</t>

   <t>Insertion of a dedicated note right after the "a=dcmap:4" attribute example
   in <xref target="dcmap-attr-definition"/> regarding the non-printable
   "escaped-char" character within the "label" value.</t>

   <t>In <xref target="prot_att"/>'s second paragraph replacement of 
   "sctp stream identifier" with "SCTP stream identifier".</t>

   <t>In first paragraph of <xref target="id_mngt"/> replacement of first two sentences
   'For the SDP-based external negotiation described in this document, 
   the initial offerer based "SCTP over DTLS" owns by convention the 
   even stream identifiers whereas the initial answerer owns the odd stream 
   identifiers.  This ownership is invariant for the whole
   lifetime of the signaling session, e.g. it does not change if the
   initial answerer sends a new offer to the initial offerer.'
   with
   'If an SDP offer / answer exchange 
   (could be the initial or a subsequent one)
   results in a UDP/DTLS/SCTP or TCP/DTLS/SCTP based media description being
   accepted, and if this SDP offer / answer exchange results in the
   establishment of a new SCTP association, then the SDP offerer owns the
   even SCTP stream ids of this new SCTP association and the answerer owns
   the odd SCTP stream identifiers.
   If this "m" line is removed from the signaling session (its port number 
   set to zero), and if usage of this or of a new UDP/DTLS/SCTP or
   TCP/DTLS/SCTP based "m" line is renegotiated later on, 
   then the even and odd SCTP stream identifier
   ownership is redetermined as well as described above.'</t>

   <t>In <xref target="opendc"/> the first action of an SDP answerer,
   when receiving an SDP offer, was described as
   "Applies the SDP offer.  Note that the browser  ignores data channel
   specific attributes in the SDP."
   Replacement of these two sentences with
   "Parses and applies the SDP offer. Note that the typical parser
   normally ignores unknown SDP attributes, which includes data 
   channel related attributes."</t>

   <t>In <xref target="opendc"/> the second sentence of the third
   SDP answerer action was 
   "Note that the browser  is asked to create data
   channels with stream identifiers not "owned" by the agent.".
   Replacement of this sentence with
   "Note that the agent is asked to 
   create data channels with SCTP stream identifiers 
   contained in the SDP offer if the SDP offer is accepted."</t>

   <t>In <xref target="close-dc"/> the third paragraph began with
   "A data channel can be closed  by sending a new SDP offer which
   excludes the dcmap and dcsa attribute lines for the data channel.
   The port value for the m line should not be changed (e.g., to zero)
   when closing a data channel (unless all data channels are being
   closed and the SCTP association is no longer needed), since this
   would close the SCTP association and impact all of the data channels.
   If the answerer accepts the SDP offer then it MUST also exclude the
   corresponding attribute lines in the answer. ..."
   Replacement of this part with
   "The intention to close a data channel can be signaled
   by sending a new SDP offer which 
   excludes the "a=dcmap:" and "a=dcsa:" attribute lines for the data channel. 
   The port value for the "m" line SHOULD not be changed (e.g., to zero) 
   when closing a data channel (unless all data channels are being 
   closed and the SCTP association is no longer needed), since this 
   would close the SCTP association and impact all of the data channels. 
   If the answerer accepts the SDP offer then it MUST close those data channels
   whose "a=dcmap:" and "a=dcsa:" attribute lines were excluded from the received
   SDP offer, unless those data channels were already closed, 
   and it MUST also exclude the 
   corresponding attribute lines in the answer."</t>

   <t>In <xref target="close-dc"/> the hanging text after the third paragraph was
   "This delayed close is to  handle cases where a successful SDP
   answer is not received, in which case the state of session should
   be kept per the last successful SDP offer/answer."
   Replacement of this sentence with
   "This delayed closure is RECOMMENDED in order
   to handle cases where a successful SDP answer is not received, in 
   which case the state of the session SHOULD be kept per the last 
   successful SDP offer/answer."</t>

   <t>Although dedicated to "a=dcmap" and "a=dcsa" SDP syntax aspects 
   <xref target="subsec-sdp-attr-for-dc-par-neg"/> contained already
   procedural descriptions related to data channel reliability negotiation.
   Creation of new <xref target="param_negotiation"/> and moval of 
   reliability negotiation related text to this new section.</t>

<section title="Changes against 'draft-ejzak-mmusic-data-channel-sdpneg-02'">
 <t>
  <list style="symbols">
   <t>Removal of note "[ACTION ITEM]" from section "subprotocol parameter".
   As <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol"/> this document should refer to IANA's
   WebSocket Subprotocol Name Registry defined in <xref target="RFC6455"/>.</t>

   <t>In whole document, replacement of "unreliable" with "partially reliable", 
   which is used in <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-channel"/> and in
   <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol"/> in most places.</t>

   <t>Clarification of the semantic if the "max-retr" parameter is not present in 
   an a=dcmap attribute line. In section "max-retr parameter" the sentence 
   "The max-retr parameter is optional with default value unbounded" 
   was replaced with "The max-retr parameter is optional. If 
   the max-retr parameter is not present, then the maximal number of 
   retransmissions is determined as per the generic SCTP retransmission 
   rules as specified in <xref target="RFC4960"/>".</t>

   <t>Clarification of the semantic if the "max-time" parameter is not present in 
   an a=dcmap attribute line. In section "max-time parameter" the sentence 
   "The max-time parameter is optional with default value unbounded" 
   was replaced with "The max-time parameter is optional. If 
   the max-time parameter is not present, then the generic SCTP 
   retransmission timing rules apply as specified in <xref target="RFC4960"/>".</t>

   <t>In section "label parameter" the sentence "Label is a mandatory parameter."
   was removed and following new sentences (including the note) were added:
   "The 'label' parameter is optional. If it is not
   present, then its value defaults to the empty string.
   Note: The empty string may also be explicitly used as 'label' value,
   such that 'label=""' is equivalent to the 'label' parameter not being
   present at all.
   <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol"/> allows the DATA_CHANNEL_OPEN 
   message's 'Label' value to be an empty string."</t>

   <t>In section "subprotocol parameter" the sentence 
   "Subprotocol is a mandatory parameter." was replaced with
   "'Subprotocol' is an optional
   parameter.  If the 'subprotocol' parameter is not present, then its
   value defaults to the empty string."</t>

   <t>In the "Examples" section, in the first two SDP offer examples in 
   the a=dcmap attribute lines 'label="BGCP"' was replaced with 'label="BFCP"'.</t>

   <t>In all examples, the "m" line proto value "DTLS/SCTP" was replaced with 
   "UDP/DTLS/SCTP" and the "a=fmtp" attribute lines were replaced with 
   "a=max-message-size" attribute lines, as per draft-ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp-12.</t>
