8.2.1. Registration Procedure
A specification document that defines values for SDP "media",
"proto", "att-field", "bwtype", "nettype", and "addrtype" parameters
MUST include the following information:
o contact name;
o contact email address;
o name being defined (as it will appear in SDP);
o type of name ("media", "proto", "bwtype", "nettype", or
"addrtype");
o a description of the purpose of the defined name;
o a stable reference to the document containing this information and
the definition of the value. (This will typically be an RFC
number.)
The subsections below specify what other information (if any) must be
specified for particular parameters, and what other fields are to be
included in the registry.

The format of the attribute registry is:

For example, the attribute "setup" which is defined for both session

This one registry combines all of the previous usage-level-specific
"att-field" registries, including updates made by
[I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes]. IANA is requested to do the
necessary reformatting.
Section 6 of this document replaces the initial set of attribute
definitions made by [RFC4566]. IANA is requested to update the
registry accordingly.

those in [RFC4566]).
8.2.5. Network Types ("nettype")
New network types (<nettype> sub-field values) MUST be registered
with IANA if SDP needs to be used in the context of non-Internet
environments. The registration is subject to the "RFC Required"
policy of [RFC8126]. Although these are not normally the preserve of
IANA, there may be circumstances when an Internet application needs
to interoperate with a non-Internet application, such as when
gatewaying an Internet telephone call into the Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN). The number of network types should be
small and should be rarely extended. A new network type cannot be
registered without registering at least one address type to be used
with that network type. A new network type registration MUST
reference an RFC that gives details of the network type and address
type(s) and specifies how and when they would be used.
IANA has registered the network type "IN" to represent the Internet,
with definition as in Sections 5.2 and 5.7 of this memo (these
definitions update those in [RFC4566]).
8.2.6. Address Types ("addrtype")
New address types ("addrtype") MUST be registered with IANA. The
registration is subject to the "RFC Required" policy of [RFC8126].
An address type is only meaningful in the context of a network type,
and any registration of an address type MUST specify a registered
network type or be submitted along with a network type registration.
A new address type registration MUST reference an RFC giving details
of the syntax of the address type. Address types are not expected to
be registered frequently.
Section 5.7 of this document gives new definitions of address types
"IP4" and "IP6". The registries are to be correspondingly updated by
IANA.
8.2.7. Registration Procedure
A specification document that defines new values for SDP "media",
"proto", "bwtype", "nettype", and "addrtype" parameters MUST include
the following information:
o contact name;
o contact email address;
o name being defined (as it will appear in SDP);
o type of name ("media", "proto", "bwtype", "nettype", or The format of the "bwtype" registry is:
"addrtype");
o a description of the purpose of the defined name; --------------------------------------------------
| Type | SDP Name | Mux Category | Reference |
--------------------------------------------------
o a stable reference to the document containing this information and IANA is requested to update the "bwtype" registry entries for the
the definition of the value. (This will typically be an RFC bandwidth specifiers "CT" and "AS" with the definitions in
number.) Section 5.8 of this memo (these definitions replace those in
[RFC4566]).
IANA will populate its registries with some or all of these values. 8.2.6. Network Types ("nettype")
8.3. Encryption Key Access Methods Network type "IN", representing the Internet, is defined in
Section 5.2 and Section 5.7 of this memo. (This definition replaces
that in [RFC4566].)
To enable SDP to reference a new non-Internet environment a new
network type (<nettype> sub-field value) MUST be registered with
IANA. The registration is subject to the "RFC Required" policy of
[RFC8126]. Although non-Internet environments are not normally the
preserve of IANA, there may be circumstances when an Internet
application needs to interoperate with a non-Internet application,
such as when gatewaying an Internet telephone call into the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The number of network types
should be small and should be rarely extended. A new network type
registration MUST reference an RFC that gives details of the network
type and the address type(s) that may be used with it.
The IANA previously maintained a table of SDP encryption key access The format of the "nettype" registry is:
method ("enckey") names. This table is obsolete, since the "k=" line
is not extensible. New registrations MUST NOT be accepted.
8.4. Reorganization of the nettype and addrtype registries --------------------------------------------------------------------
|Type | SDP Name | Usable addrtype Values | Reference |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This document adds a new column in the "nettype" registry with the IANA is requested to update the "nettype" registry to this new
title "Usable addrtype Values", replacing the separate "addrtype" format. The following is the updated content of th registry:
registry. The following is the revised "nettype" registry:
-------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
|Type | SDP Name | Usable addrtype Values | Reference | |Type | SDP Name | Usable addrtype Values | Reference |
-------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
|nettype | IN | IP4, IP6 | [RFCXXXX] | |nettype | IN | IP4, IP6 | [RFCXXXX] |
|nettype | TN | RFC2543 | [RFC2848] | |nettype | TN | RFC2543 | [RFC2848] |

Note that both [RFC7195] and [RFC3108] registered "E164" as an Note that both [RFC7195] and [RFC3108] registered "E164" as an

type has a different context for ATM and PSTN networks. type has a different context for ATM and PSTN networks.
8.5. Reorganization of the att-field Registries 8.2.7. Address Types ("addrtype")
This document combines all of the (currently) five "att-field"
registries into one registry called "att-field" registry, and updates
the columns to reflect the name, usage level(s), charset dependency
and reference. As such IANA is requested to create a new combined
registry using the following columns:
| | Dependent | Mux | | New address types ("addrtype") MUST be registered with IANA. The
Name | Usage Level | on Charset? | Category | Reference | registration is subject to the "RFC Required" policy of [RFC8126]. A
new address type registration MUST reference an RFC giving details of
the syntax of the address type. Address types are not expected to be
registered frequently.
The "Name" column reflects the attribute name (as it will appear in Section 5.7 of this document gives new definitions of address types
the SDP). The "Usage Level" column MUST indicate one or more of the "IP4" and "IP6".
following: session, media, source, dcsa and dcsa(subprotocol). The
"Dependent on Charset?" column MUST indicate "Yes" or "No" depending
on whether the attribute value is subject to the charset attribute.
The "Mux Category" column MUST indicate one of the following
categories: NORMAL, NOT RECOMMENDED, IDENTICAL, SUM, TRANSPORT,
INHERIT, IDENTICAL-PER-PT, SPECIAL or TBD as defined by
[I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes]. Finally, the "Reference"
column indicates the specification(s) where the attribute is defined.
For example, the attribute "setup" which is defined for both session 8.3. Encryption Key Access Methods (OBSOLETE)
and media level, will be listed in the new registry as follows:
| | Dependent | Mux | | The IANA previously maintained a table of SDP encryption key access
Name | Usage Level | on Charset? | Category | Reference | method ("enckey") names. This table is obsolete, since the "k=" line
