               SDP-based WebRTC data channel negotiation
           draft-ejzak-dispatch-webrtc-data-channel-sdpneg-00

Abstract

   The Real-Time Communication in WEB-browsers (RTCWeb) working group is
   charged to provide protocols to support direct interactive rich
   communication 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 in-band WebRTC Data Channel protocol or
   some external (in-band or out-of-band) negotiation.  This document
   specifies how the SDP offer/answer exchange can be used to achieve
   such an external negotiation.

1.  Introduction

   The RTCWeb working group has defined the concept of bi-directional
   data channels running on top of SCTP/DTLS.  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, 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 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 browser
   includes no channel-specific information.

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

2.  Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

3.  Terminology

   This document uses the following terms:

      Data channel: A bidirectional channel consisting of paired SCTP
      outbound and inbound streams.

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

      External negotiation: data channel negotiation based on out-of-
      band or in-band mechanisms other than the WebRTC data channel
      protocol.

      In-band: transmission through the peer-to-peer SCTP association.

      In-band negotiation: data channel negotiation based on the in-band
      WebRTC data channel protocol defined in
      [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol].

      Out-of-band: transmission through the WebRTC signaling path.

      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.

      Stream identifier: the identifier of the outbound and inbound SCTP
      streams composing a data channel.

4.  WebRTC Data Channels

   This section summarizes how WebRTC data channels work in general.

   A WebRTC application creates a data channel via the WebRTC Data
   Channel API, by providing a number of setup parameters (sub-protocol,
   label, reliability, order of delivery, priority).  The application
   also specifies if the browser takes charge of the in-band negotiation
   using the WebRTC data protocol, or if the application intends to
   perform an "external negotiation" using some other in-band or out-of-
   band mechanism.

   In any case, the SDP offer generated by the browser is per
   [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:

   m=application 54111 DTLS/SCTP 5000 5001 5002
   c=IN IP4 79.97.215.79
   a=sctpmap:5000 webrtc-datachannel 16
   a=sctpmap:5001 bfcp 2
   a=sctpmap:5002 t38 1


   Note: A WebRTC browser will only create an sctpmap attribute for the
   webrtc-datachannel protocol, and will not create sctpmap attributes
   for other protocols such as bfcp or t38.  This example shows the
   hypothetical power of the syntax to support multiplexing of SCTP
   associations for different protocols on the same DTLS connection.

   Note: This SDP syntax does not contain any channel-specific
   information.

4.1.  Stream identifier numbering

   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.

   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.

Internet-Draft  SDP-based WebRTC data channel negotiation   October 2013


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

      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
      [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol].

      For data channels externally negotiated, no convention is defined
      by default.

4.2.  Generic external negotiation

4.2.1.  Overview

   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 Section 5.1.2 for an
   example of such a parameter.

   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).

4.2.2.  Opening a data channel

   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 browser for the in-band negotiated data channels (if any).  It is
   the responsibility of the application to ensure consistent assignment
   of stream identifiers.

   When the application requests the creation of a new data channel to
   be set up via external negotiation, the browser 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 application then externally negotiates the data channel
   properties and sub-protocol properties with the peer's application.

Internet-Draft  SDP-based WebRTC data channel negotiation   October 2013


   [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 browser to know which properties to apply when
   transmitting data on this channel.  The browser 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.

   In case the external negotiation is correlated with an SDP offer/
   answer exchange that establishes the SCTP association, the SCTP
   initialization completion triggers each endpoint's browser to change
   the data channel state from Connecting to Open.

   Each application must ensure that a data channel is in the Open state
   both locally and at the peer prior to sending data.  This document
   includes procedures for doing so that are specific to using SDP offer
   /answer for external negotiation.

   [ACTION ITEM] Determine if these procedures are fully consistent with
   the data channel design and whether additional clarification is
   needed in data channel documents to ensure proper support of external
   negotiation.

4.2.3.  Closing a data channel

   When the application requests the closing of an externally negotiated
   data channel, the browser always performs an in-band SSN reset for
   this channel.

   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.

5.  SDP-based external negotiation

   This section defines a method of external negotiation by which two
   WebRTC endpoints can negotiate data channel-specific and sub-
   protocol-specific parameters, using the out-of-band SDP offer/answer
   exchange.

5.1.  SDP syntax

   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.

Internet-Draft  SDP-based WebRTC data channel negotiation   October 2013


5.1.1.  SDP attribute for data channel parameter negotiation

   Associated with the m line that defines the SCTP association for data
   channels (defined in Section 4), each SDP offer and answer includes
   an attribute line that defines the data channel parameters for each
   data channel to be negotiated.  Each attribute line specifies the
   following parameters for a data channel: Stream Identifier, sub-
   protocol, label, reliability, order of delivery, and priority.  The
   following is an example of the attribute line for sub-protocol "BFCP"
   and stream id "2" :

   a=webrtc-DataChannel:5000 stream=2;label="channel 2"; \
     subprotocol="BFCP";max_retr=3


   This line MUST be replicated without changes in the SDP answer, if
   the answerer accepts the offered data channel.

   This line MUST be replicated without changes in any subsequent offer
   or answer, as long as the data channel is still opened at the time of
   offer or answer generation.

      Note: This attribute was defined in old version 03 of the
      following draft but was removed along with any support for SDP
      external negotiation in subsequent versions:
      [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp].

      Note: This document does not provide a complete specification of
      how to negotiate the use of a 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.

5.1.1.1.  stream parameter

   The 'stream' parameter indicates the actual stream identifier within
   the association used to form the channel.  Stream is a mandatory
   parameter.

   stream-attr       =  "a=stream=" streamidentifier
   streamidentifier      =  1*DIGIT


5.1.1.2.  label parameter

   The 'label' parameter indicates the name of the channel.  It
   represents a label that can be used to distinguish, in the context of



Ejzak & Marcon           Expires April 17, 2014                 [Page 7]

Internet-Draft  SDP-based WebRTC data channel negotiation   October 2013


   the WebRTC API, an RTCDataChannel object from other RTCDataChannel
   objects.  Label is a mandatory parameter.

   label-attr       =  "a=label=" labelstring
   labelstring      =  text
   text             =  byte-string


5.1.1.3.  subprotocol parameter

   The 'subprotocol' parameter indicates which protocol the client
   expects to exchange via the channel.  Subprotocol is a mandatory
   parameter.

   subprotocol-attr       =  "a=subprotocol=" labelstring
   labelstring            =  text
   text                   =  byte-string


   [ACTION ITEM] The IANA registry to be used for the subprotocol
   parameter is still to be determined.  It also needs to be determined
   what the relationship is to existing registries and how to reference
   already-existing protocols.

5.1.1.4.  max_retr parameter

   The 'max_retr' parameter indicates the max times a user message will
   be retransmitted.  The max_retr parameter is optional with default
   value unbounded.

   maxretr-attr       =  "a=maxretr=" maxretrvalue
   maxretrvalue       =  1*DIGIT


5.1.1.5.  max_time parameter

   A user messages will no longer be transmitted or retransmitted after
   a specified life-time given in milliseconds in the 'max_time'
   parameter.  The max_time parameter is optional with default value
   unbounded.

   maxtime-attr       =  "a=maxtime=" maxtimevalue
   maxtimevalue       =  1*DIGIT


5.1.1.6.  unordered parameter





Ejzak & Marcon           Expires April 17, 2014                 [Page 8]

Internet-Draft  SDP-based WebRTC data channel negotiation   October 2013


   The 'unordered' parameter indicates that DATA chunks in the channel
   MUST be dispatched to the upper layer by the receiver without any
   attempt to reorder.  The unordered parameter is optional.  If the
   unordered parameter is absent, the receiver is required to deliver
   DATA chunks to the upper layer in proper order.

5.1.2.  Sub-protocol specific attributes

   In the SDP, each data channel declaration MAY also be followed by
   other SDP attributes specific to the sub-protocol in use.  Each of
   these attributes is represented by one new attribute line, and it
   includes the contents of a media-level SDP attribute already defined
   for use with this (sub)protocol in another IETF specification.  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.

   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=wdcsa:sctp-port:stream-id original-attribute", where
   wdcsa stands for "webrtc-DataChannel sub-protocol attribute", sctp-
   port is the sctp port number assigned for webrtc-DataChannel on the
   media line, 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.

   a=webrtc-DataChannel:5000 stream=2;label="channel 2"; \
     subprotocol="MSRP";max_retr=3
   a=wdcsa:5000:2 accept-types:text/plain


   Thus in the example above, the original attribute line "a=accept-
   types:text/plain" is represented by the attribute line
   "a=wdcsa:5000:2 accept-types:text/plain", which specifies that this
   instance of MSRP being transported on the sctp association using port
   number 5000 and the data channel with stream id 2 accepts plain text
   files.

   As opposed to the data channel setup parameters, these parameters are
   subject to offer/answer negotiation following the procedures defined
   in the sub-protocol specific documents.

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

   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 documented

Internet-Draft  SDP-based WebRTC data channel negotiation   October 2013


   elsewhere.  The use of MSRP is only an example of how the generic
   procedures described herein might apply to a specific sub-protocol.

5.2.  Procedures

5.2.1.  Managing stream identifiers

   For the SDP-based external negotiation described in this document,
   the initial offerer (in the context of a PeerConnection) 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 PeerConnection, e.g. it does not change if the
   initial answerer sends a new offer to the initial offerer.

   [ACTION ITEM] This convention is different from the convention
   currently defined for in-band negotiation, where even/odd assignment
   is determined by DTLS role.  Since DTLS role cannot be determined
   until after the initial SDP offer/answer is complete, this convention
   cannot be used for external negotiation.  It might be appropriate to
   change the convention for stream identifier assignment for in-band
   negotiation for consistency with external negotiation.  Otherwise it
   might be necessary to prohibit simultaneous use of in-band and
   external negotiation for data channels.

5.2.2.  Opening a data channel

   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.

   The agent that intends to send an SDP offer to create data channels
   through SDP-based external negotiation performs the following:

   o  Creates data channels using stream identifiers from the owned set
      (see Section 5.2.1).

   o  As described in Section 4.2.2, 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.

   o  Obtains a new SDP offer from the browser.

Internet-Draft  SDP-based WebRTC data channel negotiation   October 2013


   o  Determines the list of stream identifiers assigned to data
      channels opened through external negotiation.

   o  Completes the SDP offer with the webrtc-DataChannel and wdcsa
      attributes needed for each externally-negotiated data channel, as
      described in Section 5.1.

   o  Sends the SDP offer.

   The peer receiving such an SDP offer performs the following:

   o  Applies the SDP offer.  Note that the browser ignores data channel
      specific attributes in the SDP.

   o  Analyzes the channel parameters and sub-protocol attributes to
      determine whether to accept each offered data channel.

   o  For accepted data channels, creates peer instances for the data
      channels with the browser using the channel parameters described
      in the SDP offer.  Note that the browser is asked to create data
      channels with stream identifiers not "owned" by the agent.

   o  As described in Section 4.2.2, 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.

   o  Obtains a new SDP answer from the browser.

   o  Completes the SDP answer with the webrtc-DataChannel and wdcsa
      attributes needed for each externally-negotiated data channel, as
      described in Section 5.1.

   o  Sends the SDP answer.

   The agent receiving such an SDP answer performs the following:

   o  Closes any created data channels (whether in Connecting or Open
      state) for which the expected webrtc-DataChannel and wdcsa
      attributes are not present in the SDP answer.

   o  Applies the SDP answer.

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

   Each agent application must wait to send data until it has
   confirmation that the data channel at the peer is in the Open state.
   This occurs:

   o  At both peers when a data channel is created without an
      established SCTP association, as soon as the browsers report that
      the data channel transitions to the Open state from the Connecting
      state.

   o  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.

   o  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
      of the data channel or when it begins to receive data on the data
      channel from the peer, whichever occurs first.

5.2.3.  Closing a data channel

   When the application requests the closing of a data channel that was
   externally negotiated, the browser always performs an in-band SSN
   reset for this channel.

   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.

   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.
