1. Introduction
WebRTC is a protocol suite aimed at real time multimedia exchange
between browsers, and between browsers and other entities.
WebRTC is described in the WebRTC overview document,
[I-D.ietf-rtcweb-overview], which also defines terminology used in
this document, including the terms "WebRTC endpoint" and "WebRTC
browser".
Alvestrand Expires April 29, 2017 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
Terminology for RTP sources is taken from[RFC7656] .
This document focuses on the data transport protocols that are used
by conforming implementations, including the protocols used for
interaction with intermediate boxes such as firewalls, relays and NAT
boxes.
This protocol suite intends to satisfy the security considerations
described in the WebRTC security documents,
[I-D.ietf-rtcweb-security] and [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-security-arch].
This document describes requirements that apply to all WebRTC
endpoints. When there are requirements that apply only to WebRTC
browsers, this is called out explicitly.
2. Requirements language
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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
3. Transport and Middlebox specification
3.1. System-provided interfaces
The protocol specifications used here assume that the following
protocols are available to the implementations of the WebRTC
protocols:
o UDP [RFC0768]. This is the protocol assumed by most protocol
elements described.
o TCP [RFC0793]. This is used for HTTP/WebSockets, as well as for
TURN/TLS and ICE-TCP.
For both protocols, IPv4 and IPv6 support is assumed.
For UDP, this specification assumes the ability to set the DSCP code
point of the sockets opened on a per-packet basis, in order to
achieve the prioritizations described in [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-rtcweb-qos]
(see Section 4.2) when multiple media types are multiplexed. It does
not assume that the DSCP codepoints will be honored, and does assume
that they may be zeroed or changed, since this is a local
configuration issue.
Platforms that do not give access to these interfaces will not be
able to support a conforming WebRTC endpoint.
Alvestrand Expires April 29, 2017 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
This specification does not assume that the implementation will have
access to ICMP or raw IP.
The following protocols may be used, but can be implemented by a
WebRTC endpoint, and are therefore not defined as "system-provided
interfaces":
o TURN - Traversal Using Relays Around NAT, [RFC5766]
o STUN - Session Traversal Utilities for NAT, [RFC5389]
o ICE - Interactive Connectivity Establishment,
[I-D.ietf-ice-rfc5245bis]
o TLS - Transport Layer Security, [RFC5246]
o DTLS - Datagram Transport Layer Security, [RFC6347].
3.2. Ability to use IPv4 and IPv6
Web applications running in a WebRTC browser MUST be able to utilize
both IPv4 and IPv6 where available - that is, when two peers have
only IPv4 connectivity to each other, or they have only IPv6
connectivity to each other, applications running in the WebRTC
browser MUST be able to communicate.
When TURN is used, and the TURN server has IPv4 or IPv6 connectivity
to the peer or the peer's TURN server, candidates of the appropriate
types MUST be supported. The "Happy Eyeballs" specification for ICE
[I-D.ietf-mmusic-ice-dualstack-fairness] SHOULD be supported.
3.3. Usage of temporary IPv6 addresses
The IPv6 default address selection specification [RFC6724] specifies
that temporary addresses [RFC4941] are to be preferred over permanent
addresses. This is a change from the rules specified by [RFC3484].
For applications that select a single address, this is usually done
by the IPV6_PREFER_SRC_TMP preference flag specified in [RFC5014].
However, this rule, which is intended to ensure that privacy-enhanced
addresses are used in preference to static addresses, doesn't have
the right effect in ICE, where all addresses are gathered and
therefore revealed to the application. Therefore, the following rule
is applied instead:
When a WebRTC endpoint gathers all IPv6 addresses on its host, and
both non-deprecated temporary addresses and permanent addresses of
the same scope are present, the WebRTC endpoint SHOULD discard the
permanent addresses before exposing addresses to the application or
Alvestrand Expires April 29, 2017 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
using them in ICE. This is consistent with the default policy
described in [RFC6724].
If some of the temporary IPv6 addresses, but not all, are marked
deprecated, the WebRTC endpoint SHOULD discard the deprecated
addresses, unless they are used by an ongoing connection. In an ICE
restart, deprecated addresses that are currently in use MAY be
retained.
3.4. Middle box related functions
The primary mechanism to deal with middle boxes is ICE, which is an
appropriate way to deal with NAT boxes and firewalls that accept
traffic from the inside, but only from the outside if it is in
response to inside traffic (simple stateful firewalls).
ICE [I-D.ietf-ice-rfc5245bis] MUST be supported. The implementation
MUST be a full ICE implementation, not ICE-Lite. A full ICE
implementation allows interworking with both ICE and ICE-Lite
implementations when they are deployed appropriately.
In order to deal with situations where both parties are behind NATs
of the type that perform endpoint-dependent mapping (as defined in
[RFC5128] section 2.4), TURN [RFC5766] MUST be supported.
WebRTC browsers MUST support configuration of STUN and TURN servers,
both from browser configuration and from an application.
Note that there is other work around STUN and TURN sever discovery
and management, including [I-D.ietf-tram-turn-server-discovery] for
server discovery, as well as [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-return].
In order to deal with firewalls that block all UDP traffic, the mode
of TURN that uses TCP between the WebRTC endpoint and the TURN server
MUST be supported, and the mode of TURN that uses TLS over TCP
between the WebRTC endpoint and the TURN server MUST be supported.
See [RFC5766] section 2.1 for details.
In order to deal with situations where one party is on an IPv4
network and the other party is on an IPv6 network, TURN extensions
for IPv6 [RFC6156] MUST be supported.
TURN TCP candidates, where the connection from the WebRTC endpoint's
TURN server to the peer is a TCP connection, [RFC6062] MAY be
supported.
However, such candidates are not seen as providing any significant
benefit, for the following reasons.
Alvestrand Expires April 29, 2017 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
First, use of TURN TCP candidates would only be relevant in cases
which both peers are required to use TCP to establish a
PeerConnection.
Second, that use case is supported in a different way by both sides
establishing UDP relay candidates using TURN over TCP to connect to
their respective relay servers.
Third, using TCP between the WebRTC endpoint's TURN server and the
peer may result in more performance problems than using UDP, e.g. due
to head of line blocking.
ICE-TCP candidates [RFC6544] MUST be supported; this may allow
applications to communicate to peers with public IP addresses across
UDP-blocking firewalls without using a TURN server.
If TCP connections are used, RTP framing according to [RFC4571] MUST
be used for all packets. This includes the RTP packets, DTLS packets
used to carry data channels, and STUN connectivity check packets.
The ALTERNATE-SERVER mechanism specified in [RFC5389] (STUN) section
11 (300 Try Alternate) MUST be supported.
The WebRTC endpoint MAY support accessing the Internet through an
HTTP proxy. If it does so, it MUST include the "ALPN" header as
specified in [RFC7639], and proxy authentication as described in
Section 4.3.6 of [RFC7231] and [RFC7235] MUST also be supported.
3.5. Transport protocols implemented
For transport of media, secure RTP is used. The details of the
profile of RTP used are described in "RTP Usage"
[I-D.ietf-rtcweb-rtp-usage], which mandates the use of a circuit
breaker [I-D.ietf-avtcore-rtp-circuit-breakers] and congstion control
(see [I-D.ietf-rmcat-cc-requirements] for further guidance).
Key exchange MUST be done using DTLS-SRTP, as described in
[I-D.ietf-rtcweb-security-arch].
For data transport over the WebRTC data channel
[I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-channel], WebRTC endpoints MUST support SCTP
over DTLS over ICE. This encapsulation is specified in
[I-D.ietf-tsvwg-sctp-dtls-encaps]. Negotiation of this transport in
SDP is defined in [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp]. The SCTP extension for
NDATA, [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-sctp-ndata], MUST be supported.
The setup protocol for WebRTC data channels described in
[I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol] MUST be supported.
Alvestrand Expires April 29, 2017 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
Note: DTLS-SRTP as defined in [RFC5764] section 6.7.1 defines the
interaction between DTLS and ICE ( [I-D.ietf-ice-rfc5245bis]). The
effect of this specification is that all ICE candidate pairs
associated with a single component are part of the same DTLS
association. Thus, there will only be one DTLS handshake even if
there are multiple valid candidate pairs.
WebRTC endpoints MUST support multiplexing of DTLS and RTP over the
same port pair, as described in the DTLS-SRTP specification
[RFC5764], section 5.1.2, with clarifications in
[I-D.ietf-avtcore-rfc5764-mux-fixes]. All application layer protocol
payloads over this DTLS connection are SCTP packets.
Protocol identification MUST be supplied as part of the DTLS
handshake, as specified in [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-alpn].
4. Media Prioritization
The WebRTC prioritization model is that the application tells the
WebRTC endpoint about the priority of media and data that is
controlled from the API.
In this context, a "flow" is used for the units that are given a
specific priority through the WebRTC API.
For media, a "media flow", which can be an "audio flow" or a "video
flow", is what [RFC7656] calls a "media source", which results in a
"source RTP stream" and one or more "redundancy RTP streams". This
specification does not describe prioritization between the RTP
streams that come from a single "media source".
All media flows in WebRTC are assumed to be interactive, as defined
in [RFC4594]; there is no browser API support for indicating whether
media is interactive or non-interactive.
A "data flow" is the outgoing data on a single WebRTC data channel.
The priority associated with a media flow or data flow is classified
as "very-low", "low", "medium or "high". There are only four
priority levels at the API.
The priority settings affect two pieces of behavior: Packet send
sequence decisions and packet markings. Each is described in its own
section below.
Alvestrand Expires April 29, 2017 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
4.1. Local prioritization
Local prioritization is applied at the local node, before the packet
is sent. This means that the prioritization has full access to the
data about the individual packets, and can choose differing treatment
based on the stream a packet belongs to.
When an WebRTC endpoint has packets to send on multiple streams that
are congestion-controlled under the same congestion control regime,
the WebRTC endpoint SHOULD cause data to be emitted in such a way
that each stream at each level of priority is being given
approximately twice the transmission capacity (measured in payload
bytes) of the level below.
Thus, when congestion occurs, a "high" priority flow will have the
ability to send 8 times as much data as a "very-low" priority flow if
both have data to send. This prioritization is independent of the
media type. The details of which packet to send first are
implementation defined.
For example: If there is a high priority audio flow sending 100 byte
packets, and a low priority video flow sending 1000 byte packets, and
outgoing capacity exists for sending >5000 payload bytes, it would be
appropriate to send 4000 bytes (40 packets) of audio and 1000 bytes
(one packet) of video as the result of a single pass of sending
decisions.
Conversely, if the audio flow is marked low priority and the video
flow is marked high priority, the scheduler may decide to send 2
video packets (2000 bytes) and 5 audio packets (500 bytes) when
outgoing capacity exists for sending > 2500 payload bytes.
If there are two high priority audio flows, each will be able to send
4000 bytes in the same period where a low priority video flow is able
to send 1000 bytes.
Two example implementation strategies are:
o When the available bandwidth is known from the congestion control
algorithm, configure each codec and each data channel with a
target send rate that is appropriate to its share of the available
bandwidth.
o When congestion control indicates that a specified number of
packets can be sent, send packets that are available to send using
a weighted round robin scheme across the connections.
Alvestrand Expires April 29, 2017 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
Any combination of these, or other schemes that have the same effect,
is valid, as long as the distribution of transmission capacity is
approximately correct.
For media, it is usually inappropriate to use deep queues for
sending; it is more useful to, for instance, skip intermediate frames
that have no dependencies on them in order to achieve a lower
bitrate. For reliable data, queues are useful.
Note that this specification doesn't dictate when disparate streams
are to be "congestion controlled under the same congestion control
regime". The issue of coupling congestion controllers is explored
further in [I-D.ietf-rmcat-coupled-cc].
4.2. Usage of Quality of Service - DSCP and Multiplexing
When the packet is sent, the network will make decisions about
queueing and/or discarding the packet that can affect the quality of
the communication. The sender can attempt to set the DSCP field of
the packet to influence these decisions.
Implementations SHOULD attempt to set QoS on the packets sent,
according to the guidelines in [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-rtcweb-qos]. It is
appropriate to depart from this recommendation when running on
platforms where QoS marking is not implemented.
The implementation MAY turn off use of DSCP markings if it detects
symptoms of unexpected behaviour like priority inversion or blocking
of packets with certain DSCP markings. Some examples of such
behaviors are described in [ANRW16]. The detection of these
conditions is implementation dependent.
A particularly hard problem is when one media transport uses multiple
DSCP code points, where one may be blocked and another may be
allowed. This is allowed even within a single media flow for video
in [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-rtcweb-qos]. Implementations need to diagnose
this scenario; one possible implementation is to send initial ICE
probes with DSCP 0, and send ICE probes on all the DSCP code points
that are intended to be used once a candidate pair has been selected.
If one or more of the DSCP-marked probes fail, the sender will switch
the media type to using DSCP 0. This can be carried out
simultaneously with the initial media traffic; on failure, the
initial data may need to be resent. This switch will of course
invalidate any congestion information gathered up to that point.
Failures can also start happening during the lifetime of the call;
this case is expected to be rarer, and can be handled by the normal
mechanisms for transport failure, which may involve an ICE restart.
Alvestrand Expires April 29, 2017 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
Note that when a DSCP code point causes non-delivery, one has to
switch the whole media flow to DSCP 0, since all traffic for a single
media flow needs to be on the same queue for congestion control
purposes. Other flows on the same transport, using different DSCP
code points, don't need to change.
All packets carrying data from the SCTP association supporting the
data channels MUST use a single DSCP code point. The code point used
SHOULD be that recommended by [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-rtcweb-qos] for the
highest priority data channel carried. Note that this means that all
data packets, no matter what their relative priority is, will be
treated the same by the network.
All packets on one TCP connection, no matter what it carries, MUST
use a single DSCP code point.
More advice on the use of DSCP code points with RTP and on the
relationship between DSCP and congestion control is given in
[RFC7657].
There exist a number of schemes for achieving quality of service that
do not depend solely on DSCP code points. Some of these schemes
depend on classifying the traffic into flows based on 5-tuple (source
address, source port, protocol, destination address, destination
port) or 6-tuple (5-tuple + DSCP code point). Under differing
conditions, it may therefore make sense for a sending application to
choose any of the configurations:
o Each media stream carried on its own 5-tuple
o Media streams grouped by media type into 5-tuples (such as
carrying all audio on one 5-tuple)
o All media sent over a single 5-tuple, with or without
differentiation into 6-tuples based on DSCP code points
In each of the configurations mentioned, data channels may be carried
in its own 5-tuple, or multiplexed together with one of the media
flows.
More complex configurations, such as sending a high priority video
stream on one 5-tuple and sending all other video streams multiplexed
together over another 5-tuple, can also be envisioned. More
information on mapping media flows to 5-tuples can be found in
[I-D.ietf-rtcweb-rtp-usage].
A sending implementation MUST be able to support the following
configurations:
Alvestrand Expires April 29, 2017 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
o Multiplex all media and data on a single 5-tuple (fully bundled)
o Send each media stream on its own 5-tuple and data on its own
5-tuple (fully unbundled)
It MAY choose to support other configurations, such as bundling each
media type (audio, video or data) into its own 5-tuple (bundling by
media type).
Sending data channel data over multiple 5-tuples is not supported.
A receiving implementation MUST be able to receive media and data in
all these configurations.

Appendix A. Change log
This section should be removed before publication as an RFC.
A.1. Changes from -00 to -01
o Clarified DSCP requirements, with reference to -qos-
o Clarified "symmetric NAT" -> "NATs which perform endpoint-
dependent mapping"
o Made support of TURN over TCP mandatory
o Made support of TURN over TLS a MAY, and added open question
o Added an informative reference to -firewalls-
o Called out that we don't make requirements on HTTP proxy
interaction (yet
A.2. Changes from -01 to -02
o Required support for 300 Alternate Server from STUN.
o Separated the ICE-TCP candidate requirement from the TURN-TCP
requirement.
o Added new sections on using QoS functions, and on multiplexing
considerations.
o Removed all mention of RTP profiles. Those are the business of
the RTP usage draft, not this one.
o Required support for TURN IPv6 extensions.
o Removed reference to the TURN URI scheme, as it was unnecessary.
o Made an explicit statement that multiplexing (or not) is an
application matter.
.

Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
A.3. Changes from -02 to -03
o Added required support for draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctp-ndata
o Removed discussion of multiplexing, since this is present in rtp-
usage.
o Added RFC 4571 reference for framing RTP packets over TCP.
o Downgraded TURN TCP candidates from SHOULD to MAY, and added more
language discussing TCP usage.
o Added language on IPv6 temporary addresses.
o Added language describing multiplexing choices.
o Added a separate section detailing what it means when we say that
an WebRTC implementation MUST support both IPv4 and IPv6.
A.4. Changes from -03 to -04
o Added a section on prioritization, moved the DSCP section into it,
and added a section on local prioritization, giving a specific
algorithm for interpreting "priority" in local prioritization.
o ICE-TCP candidates was changed from MAY to MUST, in recognition of
the sense of the room at the London IETF.
A.5. Changes from -04 to -05
o Reworded introduction
o Removed all references to "WebRTC". It now uses only the term
RTCWEB.
o Addressed a number of clarity / language comments
o Rewrote the prioritization to cover data channels and to describe
multiple ways of prioritizing flows
o Made explicit reference to "MUST do DTLS-SRTP", and referred to
security-arch for details
A.6. Changes from -05 to -06
o Changed all references to "RTCWEB" to "WebRTC", except one
reference to the working group
Alvestrand Expires April 29, 2017 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
o Added reference to the httpbis "connect" protocol (being adopted
by HTTPBIS)
o Added reference to the ALPN header (being adopted by RTCWEB)
o Added reference to the DART RTP document
o Said explicitly that SCTP for data channels has a single DSCP
codepoint
A.7. Changes from -06 to -07
o Updated references
o Removed reference to draft-hutton-rtcweb-nat-firewall-
considerations
A.8. Changes from -07 to -08
o Updated references
o Deleted "bundle each media type (audio, video or data) into its
own 5-tuple (bundling by media type)" from MUST support
configuration, since JSEP does not have a means to negotiate this
configuration
A.9. Changes from -08 to -09
o Added a clarifying note about DTLS-SRTP and ICE interaction.
A.10. Changes from -09 to -10
o Re-added references to proxy authentication lost in 07-08
transition (Bug #5)
o Rearranged and rephrased text in section 4 about prioritization to
reflect discussions in TSVWG.
o Changed the "Connect" header to "ALPN", and updated reference.
(Bug #6)
A.11. Changes from -10 to -11
o Added a definition of the term "flow" used in the prioritization
chapter
o Changed the names of the four priority levels to conform to other
specs.

Internet-Draft WebRTC Transports October 2016
A.12. Changes from -11 to -12
o Added a SHOULD NOT about using deprecated temporary IPv6
addresses.
o Updated draft-ietf-dart-dscp-rtp reference to RFC 7657
A.13. Changes from -12 to -13
o Clarify that the ALPN header needs to be sent.
o Mentioned that RFC 7657 also talks about congestion control
A.14. Changes from -13 to -14
o Add note about non-support for marking flows as interactive or
non-interactive.
A.15. Changes from -14 to -15
o Various text clarifications based on comments in Last Call and
IESG review

o Described handling of downgrading of DSCP markings when blackholes
are detected
o Expanded acronyms in a new protocol list
A.16. Changes from -15 to -16
These changes are done post IESG approval, and address IESG comments
and other late comments. Issue numbers refer to https://github.com/
rtcweb-wg/rtcweb-transport/issues.
o Moved RFC 4594, 7656 and -overview to normative (issue #28)
o Changed the terms "client", "WebRTC implementation" and "WebRTC
device" to consistently be "WebRTC endpoint", as defined in
-overview. (issue #40)
o Added a note mentioning TURN service discovery and RETURN (issue
#42)
o Added a note mentioning that rtp-usage requires circut breaker and
congestion control (issue #43)
