Re: SDP grouping in a new offer

Thanks, Christer. It does make sense, but is not clear from RFC5888. What would be best way to fix it? File an
errata on RFC5888?

|Hi,
|
|In my opinion the grouping framework does not change the at-least-N-m=-lines rule.
|
|...which is probably why 5888 doesn't mention it.

|Experts,
|
|RFC3264 states that:
|
|   If an SDP is offered, which is different from the previous SDP, the
|   new SDP MUST have a matching media stream for each media stream in
|   the previous SDP.  In other words, if the previous SDP had N "m="
|   lines, the new SDP MUST have at least N "m=" lines.  The i-th media
|   stream in the previous SDP, counting from the top, matches the i-th
|   media stream in the new SDP, counting from the top.  This matching is
|   necessary in order for the answerer to determine which stream in the
|   new SDP corresponds to a stream in the previous SDP.  Because of
|   these requirements, the number of "m=" lines in a stream never
|   decreases, but either stays the same or increases.  Deleted media
|   streams from a previous SDP MUST NOT be removed in a new SDP;
|   however, attributes for these streams need not be present.
|
|From section 9.1 of RFC5888, it seems the same is applicable with SDP grouping, but is not explicit.
|Should there be matching m-lines in the new offer even with SDP grouping? Does SDP grouping change
|anything w.r.t to the above statements in RFC3264?
|
|thanks,
