Changes in Transport

media_create()

1. The semantic has changed:
   • previously this function is always called everytime we want to send offer
   • now this function is only called once when the transport needs to be created. Meaning once before call, and once the session is woken up after call hold. When media is already created and the application wants to send offer, it will just call encode_sdp() below without re-creating the media.
2. The syntax has changed:
   • local_sdp parameter is removed. Local SDP should be populated in encode_sdp() instead. This is to make it consistent since SDP can be created without re-creating media.

New: encode_sdp()

1. This function is used to modify local SDP with transport info. It can be called for different purposes below.
2. generating initial offer: this happens for outgoing calls, right after media_create() is called. The transport must initialize local SDP with default values (for ICE: include all candidates. For SRTP: include all crypto options). Normally it does not need to modify it's state.
3. generating initial answer: this happens for incoming calls, also right after media_create() is called. The transport must inspect the remote SDP and' update the transport according to the info in remote SDP and update local SDP to be sent as answer. For example: disable the feature if remote SDP doesn't contain the required attributes.
4. generating subsequent offer: this happens when local endpoint sends UPDATE or re-INVITE. In this case, the transport MUST NOT modify it's state, and rather just encode it's current state in the local SDP.
5. generating subsequent answer: this happens when we receive UPDATE or re-INVITE. The processing is similar to generating initial answer above.

media_start()

1. The syntax has changed:
   • the local SDP is now const. This is because it's useless to modify the local SDP there since the SDP has already been negotiated.

Bug

With the new framework, there's still a bug. The offer/answer RFC says that if UPDATE or re-INVITE fails, the media should remain unchanged, i.e. it falls back to use the previously successfully negotiated media.

That's not possible with the framework above, for the generating subsequent answer case above. Solving this is currently not possible with ICE, since that requires creating a new/fresh ice_strans everytime we receive updated offer, just in case the offer/answer fails so that we can revert back to old ice_strans.
