Negotiation Data Channels Using the Session Description Protocol
RFC 8864, “Negotiation Data Channels Using the Session Description Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2021 by K. Drage, M. Makaraju, R. Ejzak, J. Marcon, R. Even. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Data channel setup can be done using either the in-band Data Channel Establishment Protocol (DCEP) or some out-of-band non-DCEP protocol. This document specifies how the SDP (Session Description Protocol) offer/answer exchange can be used to achieve an out-of-band non-DCEP negotiation for establishing a data channel.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
