<abstract>This document defines methods for negotiating Jingle video sessions that use the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) for media exchange.</abstract>
<remark><p>More completely specified how to include SDP parameters and codec-specific parameters (same approach as in XEP-0167); added and corrected Theora examples.</p></remark>
<remark><p>Specified Jingle conformance, including the need to use a lossy transport and the process of sending and receiving video content.</p></remark>
<remark><p>Added negotiation flow and SDP mapping; renamed to mention RTP as the associated transport; corrected negotiation flow to be consistent with SIP/SDP (each party specifies a list of the payload types it can receive); added profile attribute to content element in order to specify RTP profile in use.</p></remark>
<p>&xep0166; can be used to initiate and negotiate a wide range of peer-to-peer sessions. One session type of interest is video chat. This document specifies a format for describing Jingle video sessions, where the media exchange occurs using the Real-time Transport Protocol (see &rfc3550;).</p>
<p>In accordance with Section 8 of <cite>XEP-0166</cite>, this document specifies the following information related to the Jingle Video via RTP application type:</p>
<li><p>The application format negotiation process is defined in the <linkurl='#negotiation'>Negotiating a Jingle Video Session</link> section of this document.</p></li>
<li><p>The semantics of the &DESCRIPTION; element are defined in the <linkurl='#format'>Application Format</link> section of this document.</p></li>
<li><p>A mapping of Jingle semantics to the Session Description Protocol is provided in the <linkurl='#sdp'>Mapping to Session Description Protocol</link> section of this document.</p></li>
<li><p>A Jingle video session MUST use a lossy transport method such as &xep0177; or the "ice-udp" method specified in &xep0176;.</p></li>
<li>
<p>Content is to be sent and received as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Outbound video content shall be encoded into RTP packets and each packet shall be sent individually over the transport. Each inbound packet received over the transport is an RTP packet.</p></li>
<p>A Jingle video session is described by a content type that contains one application format and one transport method. The application format consists of one or more encodings contained within a wrapper &DESCRIPTION; element qualified by the 'http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0180.html#ns' namespace &NSNOTE;. In the language of <cite>RFC 4566</cite> these encodings are payload-types; therefore, each <payload-type/> child element specifies an encoding that can be used for the video stream. In Jingle Video, these encodings are used in the context of RTP. The most common encodings for the Audio/Video Profile (AVP) of RTP are listed in &rfc3551; (these "static" types are reserved from payload ID 0 through payload ID 95), although other encodings are allowed (these "dynamic" types use payload IDs 96 to 127) in accordance with the dynamic assignment rules described in Section 3 of <cite>RFC 3551</cite>.</p>
<p>The encodings SHOULD be provided in order of preference by placing the most-preferred &PAYLOADTYPE; element as the first child of the &DESCRIPTION; element (etc.).</p>
<p>Each <payload-type/> element MAY contain one or more child elements that specify particular parameters related to the payload. For example, as described in &rtptheora;, the "configuration", "configuration-uri", "delivery-method", and "sampling" parameters may be specified in relation to usage of the Theora <note>See <<linkurl='http://www.theora.org/'>http://www.theora.org/</link>>.</note> codec. Where such parameters are encoded via the "fmtp" SDP attribute, they shall be represented in Jingle via the following format, where the <parameter/> element is a child of the &PAYLOADTYPE; element:</p>
<p>Note: The parameter names are effectively guaranteed to be unique, since &IANA; maintains a registry of SDP parameters (see <<linkurl='http://www.iana.org/assignments/sdp-parameters'>http://www.iana.org/assignments/sdp-parameters</link>>).</p>
<p>When the initiator sends a session-initiate stanza to the receiver, the &DESCRIPTION; element includes all of the payload types that the initiator can receive for Jingle video (each one encapsulated in a separate &PAYLOADTYPE; element):</p>
<p>Upon receiving the session-initiate stanza, the receiver determines whether it can provisionally accept the session and proceed with the negotiation. The general Jingle error cases are specified in <cite>XEP-0166</cite> and illustrated &xep0167;. In addition, the receiver must determine if it supports any of the payload types advertised by the initiator; if it supports none of the offered payload types, it must reject the session by returning a ¬acceptable; error with a Jingle-Video-specific condition of <unsupported-codecs/>:</p>
<examplecaption="Receiver does not support any of the codecs"><![CDATA[
<p>The receiver then should send a list of the payload types that it can receive via a Jingle "content-accept" (or "session-accept") action. The list that the receiver sends MAY include any payload types (not a subset of the payload types sent by the initiator) but SHOULD retain the ID numbers specified by the initiator. The order of the &PAYLOADTYPE; elements indicates the receiver's preferences, with the most-preferred types first.</p>
<p>Note: Because a "session-accept" action implicitly indicates acceptance of the application format (i.e., "content-accept"), it is not necessary to send a separate "content-accept" action. This flow is shown for completeness only.</p>
<p>If the payload type is static (payload-type IDs 0 through 95 inclusive), it MUST be mapped to a media field defined in <cite>RFC 4566</cite>. The generic format for the media field is as follows:</p>
<p>In the context of Jingle video sessions, the <media> is "video", the <port> is the preferred port for such communications (which may be determined dynamically), the <transport> is whatever profile is negotiated via the 'profile' attribute of the &CONTENT; element in the Jingle negotiation (e.g., "RTP/AVT"), and the <fmt list> is the payload-type ID.</p>
<p>If the payload type is dynamic (payload-type IDs 96 through 127 inclusive), it SHOULD be mapped to an SDP media field plus an SDP attribute field named "rtpmap".</p>
<p>For example, consider a VC-1 payload such as that described in &rfc4425;:</p>
<p>As noted, if additional parameters are to be specified, they shall be represented as attributes of the <payload-type/> element or its child <parameter/> element, as in the following example.</p>
<p>If an entity supports Jingle video exchanges via RTP, it MUST advertise that fact by returning a feature of "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0180.html#ns" in response to &xep0030; information requests &NSNOTE;.</p>
<p>Informational messages may be sent by either party within the context of Jingle to communicate the status of a Jingle video session, device, or principal. The informational message MUST be an IQ-set containing a &JINGLE; element of type "session-info". No informational message payload elements have yet been defined, but they may be specified in a future version of this document.</p>
<p>In order to secure the data stream, implementations SHOULD use encryption methods appropriate to the transport method and media being exchanged; for example, in the case of UDP, that would include Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) as specified in &rfc4347;. &sdpdtls; defines such methods for the Session Description Protocol; the relevant RTP profile (e.g., "UDP/TLS/RTP/AVP" for transporting the RTP stream over DTLS with UDP) shall be specified as the value of the &CONTENT; element's 'profile' attribute.</p>
<p>Until this specification advances to a status of Draft, its associated namespaces shall be "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0180.html#ns" and "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0180.html#ns-errors"; upon advancement of this specification, the ®ISTRAR; shall issue permanent namespaces in accordance with the process defined in Section 4 of &xep0053;.</p>
