February 2013An Extension to the Session Description Protocol (SDP)and Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) for Media LoopbackAbstract   The wide deployment of Voice over IP (VoIP), real-time text, and   Video over IP services has introduced new challenges in managing and   maintaining real-time voice/text/video quality, reliability, and   overall performance.  In particular, media delivery is an area that   needs attention.  One method of meeting these challenges is   monitoring the media delivery performance by looping media back to   the transmitter.  This is typically referred to as "active   monitoring" of services.  Media loopback is especially popular in   ensuring the quality of transport to the edge of a given VoIP, real-   time text, or Video over IP service.  Today, in networks that deliver   real-time media, short of running 'ping' and 'traceroute' to the   edge, administrators are left without the necessary tools to actively   monitor, manage, and diagnose quality issues with their service.  The   extension defined herein adds new Session Description Protocol (SDP)   media types and attributes that enable establishment of media   sessions where the media is looped back to the transmitter.  Such   media sessions will serve as monitoring and troubleshooting tools by   providing the means for measurement of more advanced VoIP, real-time   text, and Video over IP performance metrics.Kaplan, et al.

Introduction   The overall quality, reliability, and performance of VoIP, real-time   text, and Video over IP services rely on the performance and quality   of the media path.  In order to assure the quality of the delivered   media, there is a need to monitor the performance of the media   transport.  One method of monitoring and managing the overall quality   of real-time VoIP, real-time text, and Video over IP services isKaplan, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 3]

RFC 6849                   SDP Media Loopback              February 2013   through monitoring the quality of the media in an active session.   This type of "active monitoring" of services is a method of   proactively managing the performance and quality of VoIP-based   services.   The goal of active monitoring is to measure the media quality of a   VoIP, real-time text, or Video over IP session.  A way to achieve   this goal is to request an endpoint to loop media back to the other   endpoint and to provide media statistics (e.g., RTP Control Protocol   (RTCP) [RFC3550] and RTCP Extended Reports (RTCP-XR) [RFC3611]   information).  Another method involves deployment of special   endpoints that always loop incoming media back for all sessions.   Although the latter method has been used and is functional, it does   not scale to support large networks and introduces new network   management challenges.  Further, it does not offer the granularity of   testing a specific endpoint that may be exhibiting problems.   The extension defined in this document introduces new SDP media types   and attributes that enable establishment of media sessions where the   media is looped back to the transmitter.  The SDP offer/answer model   [RFC3264] is used to establish a loopback connection.  Furthermore,   this extension provides guidelines on handling RTP [RFC3550], as well   as usage of RTCP [RFC3550] and RTCP-XR [RFC3611] for reporting media-   related measurements.1.1.  Use Cases Supported   As a matter of terminology in this document, packets flow from one   peer acting as a "loopback source", to the other peer acting as a   "loopback mirror", which in turn returns packets to the loopback   source.  In advance of the session, the peers negotiate to determine   which one acts in which role, using the SDP offer/answer exchange.   The negotiation also includes details such as the type of loopback to   be used.   This specification supports three use cases: "encapsulated packet   loopback", "direct loopback", and "media loopback".  These are   distinguished by the treatment of incoming RTP packets at the   loopback mirror.1.1.1.  Encapsulated Packet Loopback   In the encapsulated packet loopback case, the entire incoming RTP   packet is encapsulated as payload within an outer RTP packet that is   specific to this use case and specified inSection 7.1.  The   encapsulated packet is returned to the loopback source.  The loopback   source can generate statistics for one-way path performance up to the   RTP level for each direction of travel by examining sequence numbersKaplan, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 4]

RFC 6849                   SDP Media Loopback              February 2013   and timestamps in the encapsulating outer RTP header and the   encapsulated RTP packet payload.  The loopback source can also play   back the returned media content for evaluation.   Because the encapsulating RTP packet header extends the packet size,   it could encounter difficulties in an environment where the original   RTP packet size is close to the path Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)   size.  The encapsulating payload format therefore offers the   possibility of RTP-level fragmentation of the returned packets.  The   use of this facility could affect statistics derived for the return   path.  In addition, the increased bit rate required in the return   direction may affect these statistics more directly in a restricted-   bandwidth situation.1.1.2.  Direct Loopback   In the direct loopback case, the loopback mirror copies the payload   of the incoming RTP packet into a new RTP packet, using a payload   format specific to this use case and specified inSection 7.2.  The   loopback mirror returns the new packet to the packet source.  There   is no provision in this case for RTP-level fragmentation.   This use case has the advantage of keeping the packet size the same   in both directions.  The packet source can compute only two-way path   statistics from the direct loopback packet header but can play back   the returned media content.   It has been suggested that the loopback source, knowing that the   incoming packet will never be passed to a decoder, can store a   timestamp and sequence number inside the payload of the packet it   sends to the mirror, then extract that information from the returned   direct loopback packet and compute one-way path statistics as in the   previous case.  Obviously, playout of returned content is no longer   possible if this is done.1.1.3.  Media Loopback   In the media loopback case, the loopback mirror submits the incoming   packet to a decoder appropriate to the incoming payload type.  The   packet is taken as close as possible to the analog level, then   re-encoded according to an outgoing format determined by SDP   negotiation.  The re-encoded content is returned to the loopback   source as an RTP packet with payload type corresponding to the   re-encoding format.   This usage allows troubleshooting at the codec level.  The capability   for path statistics is limited to what is available from RTCP   reports.Kaplan, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 6849                   SDP Media Loopback              February 20132.  Terminology   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 inRFC 2119 [RFC2119].   SDP: Session Description Protocol, as defined in [RFC4566].  This        document assumes that the SDP offer/answer model is followed,        per [RFC3264], but does not assume any specific signaling        protocol for carrying the SDP.   The following terms are borrowed from [RFC3264] definitions: offer,   offerer, answer, answerer, and agent.3.  Overview of Operation   This document defines two loopback 'types', two 'roles', and two   encoding formats for loopback.  For any given SDP offerer or answerer   pair, one side is the source of RTP packets, while the other is the   mirror looping packets/media back.  Those define the two loopback   roles.  As the mirror, two 'types' of loopback can be performed:   packet-level or media-level.  When media-level is used, there is no   further choice of encoding format -- there is only one format:   whatever is indicated for normal media, since the "looping" is   performed at the codec level.  When packet-level looping is   performed, however, the mirror can either send back RTP in an   encapsulated format or direct loopback format.  The rest of this   document describes these loopback types, roles, and encoding formats,   and the SDP offer/answer rules for indicating them.3.1.  SDP Offerer Behavior   An SDP offerer compliant to this specification and attempting to   establish a media session with media loopback will include "loopback"   media attributes for each individual media description in the offer   message that it wishes to have looped back.  Note that the offerer   may choose to only request loopback for some media   descriptions/streams but not others.  For example, it might wish to   request loopback for a video stream but not audio, or vice versa.   The offerer will look for the "loopback" media attributes in the   media description(s) of the response from the SDP answer for   confirmation that the request is accepted.Kaplan, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 6849                   SDP Media Loopback              February 20133.2.  SDP Answerer Behavior   In order to accept a loopback offer (that is, an offer containing   "loopback" in the media description), an SDP answerer includes the   "loopback" media attribute in each media description for which it   desires loopback.   An answerer can reject an offered stream (either with loopback-source   or loopback-mirror) if the loopback-type is not specified, the   specified loopback-type is not supported, or the endpoint cannot   honor the offer for any other reason.  The loopback request is   rejected by setting the stream's media port number to zero in the   answer as defined inRFC 3264 [RFC3264] or by rejecting the entire   offer (i.e., by rejecting the session request entirely).   Note that an answerer that is not compliant to this specification and   that receives an offer with the "loopback" media attributes would   ignore the attributes and treat the incoming offer as a normal   request.  If the offerer does not wish to establish a "normal" RTP   session, it would need to terminate the session upon receiving such   an answer.4.  New SDP Attributes   Three new SDP media-level attributes are defined: one indicates the   type of loopback, and the other two define the role of the agent.4.1.  Loopback-Type Attribute   This specification defines a new "loopback" attribute, which   indicates that the agent wishes to perform loopback, and the type of   loopback that the agent is able to do.  The loopback-type is a value   media attribute [RFC4566] with the following syntax:      a=loopback:<loopback-type>   Following is the Augmented BNF [RFC5234] for loopback-type:   attribute              =/ loopback-attr   ; attribute defined inRFC 4566   loopback-attr          = "loopback:" SP loopback-type   loopback-type          = loopback-choice [1*SP loopback-choice]   loopback-choice        = loopback-type-pkt / loopback-type-media   loopback-type-pkt      = "rtp-pkt-loopback"   loopback-type-media    = "rtp-media-loopback"Kaplan, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 7]

RFC 6849                   SDP Media Loopback              February 2013   The loopback-type is used to indicate the type of loopback.  The   loopback-type values are rtp-pkt-loopback and rtp-media-loopback.   rtp-pkt-loopback: In this mode, the RTP packets are looped back to      the sender at a point before the encoder/decoder function in the      receive direction to a point after the encoder/decoder function in      the send direction.  This effectively re-encapsulates the RTP      payload with the RTP/UDP/IP headers appropriate for sending it in      the reverse direction.  Any type of encoding-related functions,      such as packet loss concealment, MUST NOT be part of this type of      loopback path.  In this mode, the RTP packets are looped back with      a new payload type and format.Section 7 describes the payload      formats that are to be used for this type of loopback.  This type      of loopback applies to the encapsulated and direct loopback use      cases described inSection 1.1.   rtp-media-loopback: This loopback is activated as close as possible      to the analog interface and after the decoder so that the RTP      packets are subsequently re-encoded prior to transmission back to      the sender.  This type of loopback applies to the media loopback      use case described inSection 1.1.3.4.2.  Loopback-Role Attributes: loopback-source and loopback-mirror   The loopback role defines two property media attributes [RFC4566]   that are used to indicate the role of the agent generating the SDP   offer or answer.  The syntax of the two loopback-role media   attributes is as follows:      a=loopback-source   and      a=loopback-mirror   Following is the Augmented BNF [RFC5234] for loopback-source and   loopback-mirror:   attribute             =/ loopback-source / loopback-mirror   ; attribute defined inRFC 4566   loopback-source       = "loopback-source"   loopback-mirror       = "loopback-mirror"   loopback-source: This attribute specifies that the entity that      generated the SDP is the media source and expects the receiver of      the SDP message to act as a loopback mirror.Kaplan, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 6849                   SDP Media Loopback              February 2013   loopback-mirror: This attribute specifies that the entity that      generated the SDP will mirror (echo) all received media back to      the sender of the RTP stream.  No media is generated locally by      the looping-back entity for transmission in the mirrored stream.   The "m=" line in the SDP includes all the payload types that will be   used during the loopback session.  The complete payload space for the   session is specified in the "m=" line, and the rtpmap attribute is   used to map from the payload type number to an encoding name denoting   the payload format to be used.5.  Rules for Generating the SDP Offer/Answer5.1.  Generating the SDP Offer for Loopback Session   If an offerer wishes to make a loopback request, it includes both the   loopback-type and loopback-role attributes in a valid SDP offer:   Example:   m=audio 41352 RTP/AVP 0 8 100              a=loopback:rtp-media-loopback              a=loopback-source              a=rtpmap:0 pcmu/8000              a=rtpmap:8 pcma/8000              a=rtpmap:100 G7221/16000/1   Since media loopback requires bidirectional RTP, its normal direction   mode is "sendrecv"; the "sendrecv" direction attribute MAY be encoded   in SDP or not, as perSection 5.1 of [RFC3264], since it is implied   by default.  If either the loopback source or mirror wishes to   disable loopback use during a session, the direction mode attribute   "inactive" MUST be used as per [RFC3264].  The direction mode   attributes "recvonly" and "sendonly" are incompatible with the   loopback mechanism and MUST NOT be indicated when generating an SDP   offer or answer.  When receiving an SDP offer or answer, if   "recvonly" or "sendonly" is indicated for loopback, the SDP-receiving   agent SHOULD treat it as a protocol failure of the loopback   negotiation and terminate the session through its normal means (e.g.,   by sending a SIP BYE if SIP is used) or reject the offending media   stream.   The offerer may offer more than one loopback-type in the SDP offer.   The port number and the address in the offer (m/c= lines) indicate   where the offerer would like to receive the media stream(s).  The   payload type numbers indicate the value of the payload the offerer   expects to receive.  However, the answer might indicate a subset of   payload type numbers from those given in the offer.  In that case,   the offerer MUST only send the payload types received in the answer,   per normal SDP offer/answer rules.Kaplan, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 9]

RFC 6849                   SDP Media Loopback              February 2013   If the offer indicates rtp-pkt-loopback support, the offer MUST also   contain either an encapsulated or direct loopback encoding format   encoding name, or both, as defined in Sections7.1 and7.2 of this   document.  If the offer only indicates rtp-media-loopback support,   then neither encapsulated nor direct loopback encoding formats apply   and they MUST NOT be in the offer.   If loopback-type is rtp-pkt-loopback, the loopback mirror MUST send,   and the loopback source MUST receive, the looped-back packets encoded   in one of the two payload formats (encapsulated RTP or direct   loopback) as defined inSection 7.   Example:   m=audio 41352 RTP/AVP 0 8 112              a=loopback:rtp-pkt-loopback              a=loopback-source              a=rtpmap:112 encaprtp/8000   Example:   m=audio 41352 RTP/AVP 0 8 112              a=loopback:rtp-pkt-loopback              a=loopback-source              a=rtpmap:112 rtploopback/80005.2.  Generating the SDP Answer for Loopback Session   As with the offer, an SDP answer for loopback follows SDP   offer/answer rules for the direction attribute, but directions of   "sendonly" or "recvonly" do not apply for loopback operation.   The port number and the address in the answer (m/c= lines) indicate   where the answerer would like to receive the media stream.  The   payload type numbers indicate the value of the payload types the   answerer expects to send and receive.   An answerer includes both the loopback-role and loopback-type   attributes in the answer to indicate that it will accept the loopback   request.  When a stream is offered with the loopback-source   attribute, the corresponding stream in the response will be   loopback-mirror and vice versa, provided the answerer is capable of   supporting the requested loopback-type.   For example, if the offer contains the loopback-source attribute:      m=audio 41352 RTP/AVP 0 8      a=loopback:rtp-media-loopback      a=loopback-sourceKaplan, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 10]

RFC 6849                   SDP Media Loopback              February 2013   The answer that is capable of supporting the offer must contain the   loopback-mirror attribute:      m=audio 12345 RTP/AVP 0 8      a=loopback:rtp-media-loopback      a=loopback-mirror   If a stream is offered with multiple loopback-type attributes, the   answer MUST include only one of the loopback types that are accepted   by the answerer.  The answerer SHOULD give preference to the first   loopback-type in the SDP offer.   For example, if the offer contains:      m=audio 41352 RTP/AVP 0 8 112      a=loopback:rtp-media-loopback rtp-pkt-loopback      a=loopback-source      a=rtpmap:112 encaprtp/8000   The answer that is capable of supporting the offer and chooses to   loopback the media using the rtp-media-loopback type must contain:      m=audio 12345 RTP/AVP 0 8      a=loopback:rtp-media-loopback      a=loopback-mirror   As specified inSection 7, if the loopback-type is rtp-pkt-loopback,   either the encapsulated RTP payload format or direct loopback RTP   payload format MUST be used for looped-back packets.

Offerer Processing of the SDP Answer   If the received SDP answer does not contain an a=loopback-mirror or   a=loopback-source attribute, it is assumed that the loopback   extensions are not supported by the remote agent.  This is not a   protocol failure and instead merely completes the SDP offer/answer   exchange with whatever normal rules apply; the offerer MAY decide to   end the established RTP session (if any) through normal means of the   upper-layer signaling protocol (e.g., by sending a SIP BYE).5.4.  Modifying the Session   At any point during the loopback session, either participant MAY   issue a new offer to modify the characteristics of the previous   session, as defined inSection 8 of RFC 3264 [RFC3264].  This also   includes transitioning from a normal media processing mode to   loopback mode, and vice versa.5.5.  Establishing Sessions between Entities behind NATs   Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) [RFC5245], Traversal   Using Relays around NAT (TURN) [RFC5766], and Session Traversal   Utilities for NAT (STUN) [RFC5389] provide a general solution to   establishing media sessions between entities that are behind Network   Address Translators (NATs).  Loopback sessions that involve one or   more endpoints behind NATs can also use these general solutions   wherever possible.   If ICE is not supported, then in the case of loopback, the mirroring   entity will not send RTP packets and therefore will not automatically   create the NAT pinhole in the way that other SIP sessions do.   Therefore, if the mirroring entity is behind a NAT, it MUST send someKaplan, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 12]

Using ICE, this would be accomplished with the   STUN connectivity check process or through a TURN server connection.   If ICE is not supported, either [RFC6263] orSection 10 of ICE   [RFC5245] can be followed to open the pinhole and keep the NAT   binding alive/refreshed.   Note that for any form of NAT traversal to function, symmetric   RTP/RTCP [RFC4961] MUST be used, unless the mirror can control the   NAT(s) in its path to create explicit pinholes.  In other words, both   agents MUST send packets from the source address and port they   receive packets on, unless some mechanism is used to avoid that need   (e.g., by using the Port Control Protocol).6.  RTP Requirements   A loopback source MUST NOT send multiple source streams on the same   5-tuple, since there is no means for the mirror to indicate which is   which in its mirrored RTP packets.   A loopback mirror that is compliant to this specification and accepts   media with the loopback type rtp-pkt-loopback loops back the incoming   RTP packets using either the encapsulated RTP payload format or the   direct loopback RTP payload format as defined inSection 7 of this   specification.   A device that is compliant to this specification and performing the   mirroring using the loopback type rtp-media-loopback MUST transmit   all received media back to the sender, unless congestion feedback or   other lower-layer constraints prevent it from doing so.  The incoming   media is treated as if it were to be played; for example, the media   stream may receive treatment from Packet Loss Concealment (PLC)   algorithms.  The mirroring entity re-generates all the RTP header   fields as it would when transmitting media.  The mirroring entity MAY   choose to encode the loopback media according to any of the media   descriptions supported by the offering entity.  Furthermore, in cases   where the same media type is looped back, the mirroring entity can   choose to preserve the number of frames/packets and the bit rate of   the encoded media according to the received media.7.  Payload Formats for Packet Loopback   The payload formats described in this section MUST be used by a   loopback mirror when 'rtp-pkt-loopback' is the specified   loopback-type.  Two different formats are specified here -- an   encapsulated RTP payload format and a direct loopback RTP payload   format.  The encapsulated RTP payload format should be used when the   incoming RTP header information needs to be preserved during theKaplan, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 13]

This is useful in cases where the loopback   source needs to measure performance metrics in both directions.   However, this comes at the expense of increased packet size as   described inSection 7.1.  The direct loopback RTP payload format   should be used when bandwidth requirements prevent the use of the   encapsulated RTP payload format.7.1.  Encapsulated Payload Format   A received RTP packet is encapsulated in the payload section of the   RTP packet generated by a loopback mirror.  Each received packet is   encapsulated in a separate encapsulating RTP packet; the encapsulated   packet would be fragmented only if required (for example, due to MTU   limitations).7.1.1.  Usage of RTP Header Fields   Payload Type (PT): The assignment of an RTP payload type for this      packet format is outside the scope of this document; it is either      specified by the RTP profile under which this payload format is      used or more likely signaled dynamically out-of-band (e.g., using      SDP;Section 7.1.3 defines the name binding).   Marker (M) bit: If the received RTP packet is looped back in multiple      encapsulating RTP packets, the M bit is set to 1 in every fragment      except the last packet; otherwise, it is set to 0.   Extension (X) bit: This bit is defined by the RTP profile used.   Sequence Number: The RTP sequence number SHOULD be generated by the      loopback mirror in the usual manner with a constant random offset      as described inRFC 3550 [RFC3550].   Timestamp: The RTP timestamp denotes the sampling instant for when      the loopback mirror is transmitting this packet to the loopback      source.  The RTP timestamp MUST use the same clock rate as that of      the encapsulated packet.  The initial value of the timestamp      SHOULD be random for security reasons (seeSection 5.1 of RFC 3550      [RFC3550]).   Synchronization source (SSRC): This field is set as described inRFC 3550 [RFC3550].   The CSRC count (CC) and contributing source (CSRC) fields are used as   described inRFC 3550 [RFC3550].Kaplan, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 14]

RTP Payload Structure   The outer RTP header of the encapsulating packet is followed by the   payload header defined in this section, after any header   extension(s).  If the received RTP packet has to be looped back in   multiple encapsulating packets due to fragmentation, the   encapsulating RTP header in each packet is followed by the payload   header defined in this section.  The header is devised so that the   loopback source can decode looped-back packets in the presence of   moderate packet loss [RFC3550].  The RTP payload of the encapsulating   RTP packet starts with the payload header defined in this section.    0                   1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |                         receive timestamp                     |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   | F | R |  CC   |M|     PT      |       sequence number         |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |                           transmit timestamp                  |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |           synchronization source (SSRC) identifier            |   +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+   |            contributing source (CSRC) identifiers             |   |                             ....                              |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+            Figure 1.  Encapsulating RTP Packet Payload Header   The 12 octets after the receive timestamp are identical to the   encapsulated RTP header of the received packet except for the first 2   bits of the first octet.  In effect, the received RTP packet is   encapsulated by creating a new outer RTP header followed by 4 new   bytes of a receive timestamp, followed by the original received RTP   header and payload, except that the first two bits of the received   RTP header are overwritten as defined here.   Receive timestamp: 32 bits   The receive timestamp denotes the sampling instant for when the last   octet of the received media packet that is being encapsulated by the   loopback mirror is received from the loopback source.  The same clock   rate MUST be used by the loopback source.  The initial value of the   timestamp SHOULD be random for security reasons (seeSection 5.1 of   RFC 3550 [RFC3550]).Kaplan, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 15]

This field   identifies how much of the received packet is encapsulated in this   packet by the loopback mirror.  If the received packet is not   fragmented, this field is set to 10; otherwise, the packet that   contains the first fragments sets this field to 00.  The packet that   contains the last fragment sets this field to 01, and all other   packets set this field to 11.7.1.3.  Usage of SDP   The payload type number for the encapsulated stream can be negotiated   using SDP.  There is no static payload type assignment for the   encapsulating stream, so dynamic payload type numbers MUST be used.   The binding to the name is indicated by an rtpmap attribute.  The   name used in this binding is "encaprtp".   The following is an example SDP fragment for encapsulated RTP.   m=audio 41352 RTP/AVP 112   a=rtpmap:112 encaprtp/80007.2.  Direct Loopback RTP Payload Format   The direct loopback RTP payload format can be used in scenarios where   the 16-byte overhead of the encapsulated payload format is of   concern, or simply due to local policy.  When using this payload   format, the receiver loops back each received RTP packet payload (not   header) in a separate RTP packet.   Because a direct loopback format does not retain the original RTP   headers, there will be no indication of the original payload-type   sent to the mirror, in looped-back packets.  Therefore, the loopback   source SHOULD only send one payload type per loopback RTP session if   direct mode is used.7.2.1.  Usage of RTP Header Fields   Payload Type (PT): The assignment of an RTP payload type for the      encapsulating packet format is outside the scope of this document;      it is either specified by the RTP profile under which this payload      format is used or more likely signaled dynamically out-of-band      (e.g., using SDP;Section 7.2.3 defines the name binding).

Timestamp: The RTP timestamp denotes the sampling instant for when      the loopback mirror is transmitting this packet to the loopback      source.  The same clock rate MUST be used as that of the received      RTP packet.  The initial value of the timestamp SHOULD be random      for security reasons (seeSection 5.1 of RFC 3550 [RFC3550]).   SSRC: This field is set as described inRFC 3550 [RFC3550].   The CC and CSRC fields are used as described inRFC 3550 [RFC3550].7.2.2.  RTP Payload Structure   This payload format does not define any payload-specific headers.   The loopback mirror simply copies the RTP payload data from the   payload portion of the RTP packet received from the loopback source.7.2.3.  Usage of SDP   The payload type number for the payload loopback stream can be   negotiated using a mechanism like SDP.  There is no static payload   type assignment for the stream, so dynamic payload type numbers MUST   be used.  The binding to the name is indicated by an rtpmap   attribute.  The name used in this binding is "rtploopback".   The following is an example SDP fragment for the direct loopback RTP   format.   m=audio 41352 RTP/AVP 112   a=rtpmap:112 rtploopback/80008.  SRTP Behavior   Secure RTP (SRTP) [RFC3711] MAY be used for loopback sessions.  SRTP   operates at a lower logical layer than RTP, and thus if both sides   negotiate to use SRTP, each side uses its own key and performs   encryption/decryption, authentication, etc.  Therefore, the loopback   function on the mirror occurs after the SRTP packet has been   decrypted and authenticated, as a normal cleartext RTP packet without   a Master Key Identifier (MKI) or authentication tag; once theKaplan, et al.

In order to provide the same level of protection to both forward and   reverse media flows (media to and from the mirror), if SRTP is used   it MUST be used in both directions with the same properties.9.  RTCP Requirements   The use of the loopback attribute is intended for the monitoring of   media quality of the session.  Consequently, the media performance   information should be exchanged between the offering and the   answering entities.  An offering or answering agent that is compliant   to this specification SHOULD support RTCP per [RFC3550] and RTCP-XR   perRFC 3611 [RFC3611].  Furthermore, if the offerer or answerer   chooses to support RTCP-XR, they SHOULD support the RTCP-XR Loss Run   Length Encoding (RLE) Report Block, Duplicate RLE Report Block,   Statistics Summary Report Block, and VoIP Metrics Report Block per   Sections4.1,4.2,4.6, and4.7 ofRFC 3611 [RFC3611].  The offerer   and the answerer MAY support other RTCP-XR reporting blocks as   defined byRFC 3611 [RFC3611].10.  Congestion Control   All the participants in a media-level loopback session SHOULD   implement congestion control mechanisms as defined by the RTP profile   under which the loopback mechanism is implemented.  For audio/video   profiles, implementations SHOULD conform to the mechanism defined inSection 2 of RFC 3551 [RFC3551].   For packet-level loopback types, the loopback source SHOULD implement   congestion control.  The mirror will simply reflect back the RTP   packets it receives (either in encapsulated or direct modes);   therefore, the source needs to control the congestion of both forward   and reverse paths by reducing its sending rate to the mirror.  This   keeps the loopback mirror implementation simpler and provides more   flexibility for the source performing a loopback test.11.

The examples are given for SIP-based   transactions; for convenience, they are abbreviated and do not show   the complete signaling.Kaplan, et al.

RFC 6849                   SDP Media Loopback              February 2013   Note in this case that the answerer did not indicate loopback   support, although it could have and still used a port number of 0 to   indicate that it does not wish to accept that media session.   Alternatively, the answering agent could have simply rejected the   entire SDP offer through some higher-layer signaling protocol means   (e.g., by rejecting the SIP INVITE request if the SDP offer was in   the INVITE).12.  Security Considerations   The security considerations of [RFC3264] and [RFC3550] apply.   Given that media loopback may be automated without the end user's   knowledge, the answerer of the media loopback should be aware of   denial-of-service attacks.  It is RECOMMENDED that session requests   for media loopback be authenticated and the frequency of such   sessions limited by the answerer.   If the higher-layer signaling protocol were not authenticated, a   malicious attacker could create a session between two parties the   attacker wishes to target, with each party acting as the loopback   mirror to the other, of the rtp-pkt-loopback type.  A few RTP packets   sent to either party would then infinitely loop among the two, as   fast as they could process them, consuming their resources and   network bandwidth.   Furthermore, media loopback provides a means of attack indirection,   whereby a malicious attacker creates a loopback session as the   loopback source and uses the mirror to reflect the attacker's packets   against a target -- perhaps a target the attacker could not reach   directly, such as one behind a firewall, for example.  Or, the   attacker could initiate the session as the loopback mirror, in the   hopes of making the peer generate media against another target.   If end-user devices such as mobile phones answer loopback requests   without authentication and without notifying the end user, then an   attacker could cause the battery to drain, and possibly deny the end   user normal phone service or cause network data usage fees.  This   could even occur naturally if a legitimate loopback session does not   terminate properly and the end device does not have a timeout   mechanism for such.   For the reasons noted above, end-user devices SHOULD provide a means   of indicating to the human user that the device is in a loopback   session, even if it is an authenticated session.

Implementation Considerations   The media loopback approach described in this document is a complete   solution that would work under all scenarios.  However, it is   possible that the solution may not be lightweight enough for some   implementations.  In light of this concern, this section clarifies   which features of the loopback proposal MUST be implemented for all   implementations and which features MAY be deferred if the complete   solution is not desired.   All implementations MUST at least support the rtp-pkt-loopback mode   for loopback-type, with direct media loopback payload encoding.  In   addition, for the loopback role, all implementations of an SDP   offerer MUST at least be able to act as a loopback source.  These   requirements are intended to provide a minimal level of   interoperability between different implementations.14.  IANA Considerations14.1.
