The offer/answer model for the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
assumes that endpoints somehow establish the Quality of Service (QoS)
required for the media streams they establish. Endpoints in closed
environments typically agree out-of-band (e.g., using configuration
information) regarding which QoS mechanism to use. However, on the Internet,
there is more than one QoS service available. Consequently, there is a need
for a mechanism to negotiate which QoS mechanism to use for a particular media
stream. This document defines such a mechanism.
