Talk:Session Description Protocol

Caps
"Session Description Protocol" is a title. Therefore, all letters are capitalized. - RobLa 09:12 Dec 22, 2002 (UTC)


 * We don't use title case for titles on WP. It is capitalized this way because it is a proper noun - the name of a protocol. ~Kvng (talk) 21:33, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

ASCII
SDP is not ASCII encoded per-se. Some elements are (e.g. name), but other not (e.g. textural strings). It is correct to say it is UTF8 encoded by default (as UTF8 incorporates ASCII). Exceptions to this are found when the 'charset' attribute encoding specification directs session name and information values to have an alternate encoding - a short description of the charset attribute has been added.

5 terms related to SDP
I do not like this section, I assume this was added due to this comment in the SDP RFC

"The following terms are used in this document, and have specific meaning within the context of this document."

Which follows the mentioning of those terms. However that is really just for definition of those terms within the context of the RFC. They are not really that relevant and in the way this information is written in the page it implies that these are the main terms of SDP which they most certainly are not.

Usage?
Are there some commercial softwares or Internet services, or widespread freeware, that really are using SDP? I suggest a section called Usage. Mange01 21:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Well VLC (for example) uses SDP when playing RTSP urls and most (all?) SIP phones uses SDP with SIP when negotiating media settings  --81.170.214.194 (talk) 15:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
