      <section title="Structure Of This Document">
        <t>This document adds a new grouping relation between M-lines that can
        associate application layer identifiers with the binding between media
        streams, attaching identifiers to the media streams and attaching
        identifiers to the groupings they form.</t>

        <t><xref target="sect-why"></xref> gives the background on why a new
        mechanism is needed.</t>

        <t><xref target="sect-definition"></xref> gives the definition of the
        new mechanism.</t>

        <t><xref target="sect-media-stream"></xref> gives the application of
        the new mechanism for providing necessary semantic information for the
        association of MediaStreamTracks to MediaStreams in the WebRTC API
        .</t>
      </section>

      <section anchor="sect-why" title="Why A New Mechanism Is Needed">
        <t>When media is carried by RTP <xref target="RFC3550"></xref>, each
        RTP media stream is distinguished inside an RTP session by its SSRC;
        each RTP session is distinguished from all other RTP sessions by being
        on a different transport association (strictly speaking, 2 transport
        associations, one used for RTP and one used for RTCP, unless RTCP
        multiplexing <xref target="RFC5761"></xref> is used).</t>

        <t>SDP gives a description based on m-lines. According to the model
        used in <xref target="I-D.roach-mmusic-unified-plan"></xref>, each
        m-line describes exactly one media source, and if mulitple media
        sources are carried in an RTP session, this is signalled using BUNDLE
        <xref target="I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation"></xref>; if
        BUNDLE is not used, each media source is carried in its own RTP
        session.</t>

        <t>There exist cases where an application using RTP and SDP needs to
        signal some relationship between RTP media streams that may be carried
        in either the same RTP session or different RTP sessions. For
        instance, there may be a need to signal a relationship between a video
        track and an audio track, and where the generator of the SDP does not
        yet know if they will be carried in the same RTP session or different
        RTP sessions.</t>

        <t>The SDP grouping framework <xref target="RFC5888"></xref> can be
        used to group m-lines. However, there is sometimes the need for an
        application to specify some application-level information about the
        association between the m-line and the group. This is not possible
        using the SDP grouping framework.</t>
      </section>

      <section title="Application to the WEBRTC MediaStream">
        <t>The W3C WebRTC API specification <xref
        target="W3C.WD-webrtc-20120209"></xref> specifies that communication
        between WebRTC entities is done via MediaStreams, which contain
        MediaStreamTracks. A MediaStreamTrack is generally carried using a
        single SSRC in an RTP session (forming an RTP media stream. The
        collision of terminology is unfortunate.) There might possibly be
        additional SSRCs, possibly within additional RTP sessions, in order to
        support functionality like forward error correction or simulcast. This
        complication is ignored below.</t>

        <t>In the RTP specification, media streams are identified using the
        SSRC field. Streams are grouped into RTP Sessions, and also carry a
        CNAME. Neither CNAME nor RTP session correspond to a MediaStream.
        Therefore, the association of an RTP media stream to MediaStreams need
        to be explicitly signaled.</t>

        <t>The WebRTC work has come to agreement (documented in <xref
        target="I-D.roach-mmusic-unified-plan"></xref>) that one M-line is
        used to describe each MediaStreamTrack, and that the BUNDLE mechanism
        <xref target="I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation"></xref> is used
        to group MediaStreamTracks into RTP sessions. Therefore, the need is
        to specify the ID of a MediaStreamTrack and its containing MediaStream
        for each M-line, which can be accomplished with a media-level
        attribute.</t>

        <t>This usage is described in <xref
        target="sect-media-stream"></xref>.</t>
      </section>
    </section>

    <section anchor="sect-definition" title="The Msid Mechanism">
      <t>This document registers a new SDP <xref target="RFC4566"></xref>
      media-level "msid" attribute. This new attribute allows endpoints to
      associate RTP media streams that are carried in the same or different
      m-lines, as well as allowing application-specific information to the
      association.</t>

      <t>The value of the "msid" attribute consists of an identifier and
      optional application-specific data, according to the following ABNF
      <xref target="RFC5234"></xref> grammar:</t>

      <t></t>

      <figure>
        <artwork><![CDATA[
  ; "attribute" is defined in RFC 4566.
  attribute =/ msid-attr
  msid-attr = "msid:" identifier [ " " appdata ]
  identifier = token
  appdata = token

]]></artwork>
      </figure>

      <t>An example MSID value for a group with the identifier "examplefoo"
      and application data "examplebar" might look like this:</t>

      <figure>
        <artwork><![CDATA[ 
  msid:examplefoo examplebar

]]></artwork>
      </figure>

      <t>The identifier is a string of ASCII characters chosen from 0-9, a-z,
      A-Z and - (hyphen), consisting of between 1 and 64 characters. It MUST
      be unique among the identifier values used in the same SDP session. It
      is RECOMMENDED that is generated using a random-number generator.</t>

      <t>Application data is carried on the same line as the identifier,
      separated from the identifier by a space.</t>

      <t>The identifier uniquely identifies a group within the scope of an SDP
      description.</t>

      <t>There may be multiple msid attributes on a single m-line. There may
      also be multiple m-lines that have the same value for identifier and
      application data.</t>

      <t>Endpoints can update the associations between RTP media streams as
      expressed by msid attributes at any time; the semantics and restrictions
      of such grouping and ungrouping are application dependent.</t>
    </section>

    <section title="The Msid-Semantic Attribute">
      <t>A session-level attribute is defined for signaling the semantics
      associated with an msid grouping. This allows msid groupings with
      different semantics to coexist.</t>

      <t>This OPTIONAL attribute gives the group identifier and its group
      semantic; it carries the same meaning as the ssrc-group-attr of RFC 5576
      section 4.2, but uses the identifier of the group rather than a list of
      SSRC values.</t>

      <t>This attribute MUST be present if "a=msid" is used.</t>

      <t>An empty list of identifiers is an indication that the sender
      understands the indicated semantic, but has no msid groupings of the
      given type in the present SDP.</t>

      <t>An identifier of "*" is an indication that all "a=msid" lines in the
      SDP have this specific semantic.</t>

      <t>The ABNF of msid-semantic is:</t>

      <figure>
        <artwork><![CDATA[
  attribute =/ msid-semantic-attr
  msid-semantic-attr = "msid-semantic:" token identifier-list
  identifier-list = (" " identifier)* / " *"
  token = <as defined in RFC 4566>
   ]]></artwork>
      </figure>

      <t>The semantic field may hold values from the IANA registriy "Semantics
      for the msid-semantic SDP attribute" (which is defined by this
      memo).</t>

      <t>An example msid-semantic might look like this, if a semantic LS was
      registered by IANA for the same purpose as the existing LS grouping
      semantic:</t>

      <figure>
        <artwork><![CDATA[  
  a=msid-semantic:LS xyzzy forolow

]]></artwork>
      </figure>

      <t>This means that the SDP description has two lip sync groups, with the
      group identifiers xyzzy and forolow, respectively.</t>
    </section>

    <section anchor="sect-media-stream"
             title="Applying Msid to WebRTC MediaStreams">
      <t>This section creates a new semantic for use with the framework
      defined in <xref target="sect-definition"></xref>, to be used for
      associating m-lines representing MediaStreamTracks within MediaStreams
      as defined in <xref target="W3C.WD-webrtc-20120209"></xref>.</t>

      <t>The semantic token for this semantic is "WMS" (short for WebRTC Media
      Stream).</t>

      <t>The value of the msid corresponds to the "id" attribute of a
      MediaStream.</t>

      <t>The appdata for a WebRTC MediaStreamTrack consists of the "id"
      attribute of a MediaStreamTrack.</t>

      <t>If two different m-lines have MSID attributes with the same value for
      identifier and appdata, it means that these two m-lines are both
      intended for the same MediaStreamTrack. So far, no semantic for such a
      mixture have been defined, but this specification does not forbid the
      practice.</t>

      <t>When an SDP description is updated, a specific msid continues to
      refer to the same MediaStream. Once negotiation has completed on a
      session, there is no memory; an msid value that appears in a later
      negotiation will be taken to refer to a new MediaStream.</t>

      <t>The following are the rules for handling updates of the list of
      m-lines and their msid values.</t>

      <t><list style="symbols">
          <t>When a new msid value occurs in the description, the recipient
          can signal to its application that a new MediaStream has been
          added.</t>

          <t>When a description is updated to have more m-lines with the same
          msid value, but different appdata values, the recipient can signal
          to its application that new MediaStreamTracks have been added to the
          media stream.</t>

          <t>When a description is updated to no longer list the msid value on
          a specific m-line, the recipient can signal to its application that
          the corresponding media stream track has been closed.</t>

          <t>When a description is updated to no longer list the msid value on
          any m-line, the recipient can signal to its application that the
          media stream has been closed.</t>
        </list>In addition to signaling that the track is closed when it
      disappears from the SDP, the track will also be signaled as being closed
      when all associated SSRCs have disappeared by the rules of <xref
      target="RFC3550"></xref> section 6.3.4 (BYE packet received) and 6.3.5
      (timeout).</t>

      <t>The association between SSRCs and m-lines is specified in <xref
      target="I-D.roach-mmusic-unified-plan"></xref>.</t>

      <section anchor="s-nonsignal" title="Handling of non-signalled tracks">
        <t>Non-WebRTC entities will not send msid. This means that there will
        be some incoming RTP packets that the recipient has no predefined
        MediaStream id value for.</t>

        <t>Handling will depend on whether or not any MSIDs are signaled in
        the relevant m-line(s). There are two cases:</t>

        <t><list style="symbols">
            <t>No msid-semantic:WMS attribute is present. The SDP session is
            assumed to be a backwards-compatible session. All incoming media,
            on all m-lines that are part of the SDP session, are assumed to
            belong to independent media streams, each with one track. The
            identifier of this media stream and of the media stream track is a
            randomly generated string; the label of this media stream will be
            set to "Non-WMS stream".</t>

            <t>An msid-semantic:WMS attribute is present. In this case, the
            session is WebRTC compatible, and the packets are either caused by
            a bug or by timing skew between the arrival of the media packets
            and the SDP description. These packets MAY be discarded, or they
            MAY be buffered for a while in order to allow immediate startup of
            the media stream when the SDP description is updated. The arrival
            of media packets MUST NOT cause a new MediaStreamTrack to be
            signaled.</t>
          </list></t>

        <t>If a WebRTC entity sends a description, it MUST include the
        msid-semantic:WMS attribute, even if no media streams are sent. This
        allows us to distinguish between the case of no media streams at the
        moment and the case of legacy SDP generation.</t>

        <t>It follows from the above that the WebRTC entity must have the SDP
        of the other party before it can decide correctly whether or not a
        "default" MediaStream should be created. RTP media packets that arrive
        before the remote party's SDP MUST be buffered or discarded, and MUST
        NOT cause a new MediaStreamTrack to be signalled.</t>

        <t>It follows from the above that media stream tracks in the "default"
        media stream cannot be closed by signaling; the application must
        instead signal these as closed when the SSRC disappears according to
        the rules of RFC 3550 section 6.3.4 and 6.3.5.</t>

        <t>NOTE IN DRAFT: Previous versions of this memo suggested adding all
        incoming SSRCs to a single MediaStream. This is problematic because we
        do not know if the SSRCs are synchronized or not before we learn the
        CNAME of the SSRCs, which only happens when an RTCP packet arrives.
        How to identify a non-WMS stream is still open for discussion -
        including whether it's necessary to do so. Using the stream label
        seems like an easy thing to do for debuggability - it's not signalled,
        and is intended for human consumption anyway.</t>

        <t>Another alternative is to group the incoming media streams based on
        CNAME; this preseerves the synchronization semantics of CNAME, but
        means that one cannot signal the MediaStreamTrack before the CNAME of
        the SSRC is known (which will happen only on arrival of the relevant
        RTCP packet).</t>
      </section>
    </section>

    <section title="WebRTC MediaStream Control">
      <t>A need has been identified for signalling from a receiver to a sender
      some information about the receiver's desires for the sender to take
      action on a MediaStream track.</t>

      <t>This section describes such a mechanism. It is intended to be used
      for streams that are signalled using the semantics in section <xref
      target="sect-media-stream"></xref>.</t>

      <t>This mechanism consists of a single new field, "msid-control", which
      can have the following values:</t>

      <t><list style="symbols">
          <t>msid-control: enable - the receiver positively acknowledges that
          it wants the content of this media stream track. This has the same
          semantics as leaving out the field altogether, but is specified for
          completeness.</t>

          <t>msid-control: disable - the receiver desires that the sender
          stops sending media on this track, but allows for a later round of
          negotiation to resume transmission. The sender and receiver are
          expected to continue including the corresponding SSRCs in RTCP
          reports, keeping the information on the SSRCs from timing out.</t>

          <t>msid-control: stop - the receiver desires that the sender stops
          sending media on this track, and guarantees that it will never ask
          for data to be sent on this track again. The sender is expected to
          stop reporting on the corresponding SSRCs, and MAY send a BYE
          message when it stops sending.</t>

          <t>msid-control: reject - the exact same semantics as for
          msid-control: stop apply, but this form is only used if the stream
          has never been enabled. The intended use is for support of rejecting
          a MediaStream, rather than stopping it (such a function has not been
          specified so far).</t>
        </list>The msid-control field is significant only for the direction
      from the receiver to the sender; if a single m-line is used for
      MediaStreams in both directions, only the streams sent by the receiver
      of the SDP message will be affected.</t>

      <t>If the MediaStream in both directions is cancelled by msid-control:
      stop or msid-control: reject, the m-line MAY be disabled by setting its
      port number to 0. If there is a MediaStream in use in either direction,
      whether it's enabled or disabled, the m-line port number MUST NOT be set
      to 0.</t>

      <t>One suggested mechanism has been to use CNAME instead of a new
      attribute. This was abandoned because CNAME identifies a synchronization
      context; one can imagine both wanting to have tracks from the same
      synchronization context in multiple MediaStreams and wanting to have
      tracks from multiple synchronization contexts within one MediaStream
      (but the latter is impossible, since a MediaStream is defined to impose
      synchronization on its members).</t>

      <t>Another suggestion has been to put the msid value within an attribute
      of RTCP SR (sender report) packets. This doesn't offer the ability to
      know that you have seen all the tracks currently configured for a media
      stream.</t>

      <t>There has been a suggestion that this mechanism could be used to mute
      tracks too. This is not done at the moment.</t>

      <t>Discarding of incoming data when the SDP description isn't updated
      yet (section 3) may cause clipping. However, the same issue exists when
      crypto keys aren't available. Input sought.</t>

      <t>There's been a suggestion that acceptable SSRCs should be signaled in
      a response, giving a recipient the ability to say "no" to certain SSRCs.
      This is not supported in the current version of this document.</t>

    <section title="Usage with multiple MediaStreams per M-line">
      <t>This appendix is included to document the usage of msid as a
      source-specific attribute. Prior to the acceptance of the Unified Plan
      document, some implementations used this mechanism to distinguish
      between multiple MediaStreamTracks that were carried in the same
      M-line.</t>

      <t>It reproduces some of the original justification text for this
      mechanism that is not relevant when Unified Plan is used.</t>

      <section anchor="sect-why-old"
               title="Mechanism design with multiple SSRCs">
        <t>When media is carried by RTP <xref target="RFC3550"></xref>, each
        RTP media stream is distinguished inside an RTP session by its SSRC;
        each RTP session is distinguished from all other RTP sessions by being
        on a different transport association (strictly speaking, 2 transport
        associations, one used for RTP and one used for RTCP, unless RTCP
        multiplexing <xref target="RFC5761"></xref> is used).</t>

        <t>There exist cases where an application using RTP and SDP needs to
        signal some relationship between RTP media streams that may be carried
        in either the same RTP session or different RTP sessions. For
        instance, there may be a need to signal a relationship between a video
        track in one RTP session and an audio track in another RTP session. In
        traditional SDP, it is not possible to signal that these two tracks
        should be carried in one session, so they are carried in different RTP
        sessions.</t>

        <t>Traditionally, SDP was used to describe the RTP sessions, with one
        m-line being used to describe each RTP session. With the advent of
        extensions like BUNDLE <xref
        target="I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-bundle-negotiation"></xref>, this
        association may be more complex, with multiple m-lines being used to
        describe one RTP session; the rest of this document therefore talks
        about m-lines, not RTP sessions, when describing the signalling
        mechanism.</t>

        <t>The SSRC grouping mechanism ("a=ssrc-group") <xref
        target="RFC5576"></xref> can be used to associate RTP media streams
        when those RTP media streams are described by the same m-line. The
        semantics of this mechanism prevent the association of RTP media
        streams that are spread across different m-lines.</t>

        <t>The SDP grouping framework <xref target="RFC5888"></xref> can be
        used to group m-lines. When an m-line describes one and only one RTP
        media stream, it is possible to associate RTP media streams across
        different m-lines. However, if an m-line has multiple RTP media
        streams, using multiple SSRCs, the SDP grouping framework cannot be
        used for this purpose.</t>

        <t>There are use cases (some of which are discussed in <xref
        target="I-D.westerlund-avtcore-multiplex-architecture"></xref> ) where
        neither of these approaches is appropriate; In those cases, a new
        mechanism is needed.</t>

        <t>In addition, there is sometimes the need for an application to
        specify some application-level information about the association
        between the SSRC and the group. This is not possible using either of
        the frameworks above.</t>
      </section>

      <section title="Usage with the SSRC attribute">
        <t>When the MSID attribute was used with the SSRC attribute, it had to
        be registered in the "Attribute names (source level)" registry rather
        than the "Attribute names (media level only)" registry, and the msid
        line was prefixed with "a=ssrc:<ssrc> ". Apart from that, usage
        of the attribute with SSRC-bound flows was identical with the current
        proposal.</t>
