Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) over Data Channels
Abstract
This document specifies how a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) data channel can be used as a transport mechanism for the Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) and how the Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer/answer mechanism can be used to negotiate such a data channel, referred to as an MSRP data channel. Two network configurations are supported: the connection of two MSRP data channel endpoints; and a gateway configuration, which connects an MSRP data channel endpoint with an MSRP endpoint that uses either TCP or TLS. This document updates RFC 4975.

1. Introduction
The Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) [RFC4975] is a protocol for transmitting a series of related instant messages in the context of a session. In addition to instant messaging, MSRP can also be used for image sharing or file transfer. MSRP was initially defined in [RFC4975] to work over TCP and TLS connections, and over a WebSocket subprotocol specified by [RFC7977].
This document specifies how a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) data channel [RFC8831] can be used as a transport mechanism for MSRP without the TCP and TLS layers, and how the Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer/answer mechanism for data channels [RFC8864] can be used to negotiate such a data channel.
In this document, an MSRP data channel refers to a WebRTC data channel for which the instantiated subprotocol is "msrp" and the data channel is negotiated using the SDP offer/answer mechanism [RFC8864].
Defining MSRP as a data channel subprotocol has many benefits:
- provides to applications a proven protocol enabling instant
messaging, file transfer, image sharing
- integrates those features with other WebRTC voice, video, and data
features
- leverages the SDP-based negotiation already defined for MSRP
- allows the interworking with MSRP endpoints running on a TCP or
TLS connection
Compared to the WebSocket protocol, which provides a message-passing protocol to applications with no direct access to TCP or TLS sockets, data channels provide a low-latency transport and leverage NAT-aware connectivity and the security features of WebRTC.
This document defines an MSRP data channel endpoint as an MSRP application that uses a WebRTC data channel for MSRP transport. This document describes configurations for connecting such endpoint to another MSRP data channel endpoint, or to an MSRP endpoint that uses either TCP or TLS transport.
This document updates [RFC4975] as described in Section 7.
2. Conventions

Table 1
4. SDP Considerations
The generic SDP considerations, including the SDP offer/answer procedures [RFC3264], for negotiating a WebRTC data channel are defined in [RFC8864]. This section and its subsections define the SDP considerations that are specific to an MSRP data channel, identified by the "subprotocol" attribute parameter, with an "msrp" parameter value in the 'dcmap' attribute.
4.1. MSRP URI
This document extends the MSRP URI syntax [RFC4975] by defining the new transport parameter value "dc" (an abbreviation of data channel):
transport /= "dc"
; Add "dc" to existing transports per Section 9 of [RFC4975]
MSRP design provides for new transport bindings (see Section 6 of [RFC4975]). MSRP implementations are expected to allow unrecognized transports for which there is no need to establish a connection to the resource described by the URI, as is the case of data channels (Section 4.4).
4.2. MSRP URI msrp-scheme
The msrp-scheme portion of the MSRP URI that represents an MSRP data channel endpoint (used in the SDP 'path' attribute and in the MSRP message headers) is always "msrps", which indicates that the MSRP data channel is always secured using DTLS as described in [RFC8831].
4.3. Use of the 'dcmap' Attribute
An offerer and answerer SHALL, in each offer and answer, include a
'dcmap' attribute [RFC8864] in the SDP media description ("m="
section) [RFC4566] describing the SCTP association [RFC4960] used to
realize the MSRP data channel.
The attribute includes the following data channel parameters:
- "label=" labelstring
- "subprotocol=" "msrp"
The labelstring is set by the MSRP application according to [RFC8864].
The offerer and answerer SHALL NOT include the "max-retr" and the "max-time" attribute parameters in the 'dcmap' attribute.
The offerer and answerer MAY include the "ordered" attribute parameter in the 'dcmap' attribute. If included, the attribute parameter value SHALL be set to "true".
Below is an example of a 'dcmap' attribute for an MSRP session to be negotiated with the "dcmap-stream-id" parameter set to 2 and the "label" parameter set to "chat":
a=dcmap:2 label="chat";subprotocol="msrp"
4.4. Use of the 'dcsa' Attribute
An offerer and answerer can, in each offer and answer, include one or
more data channel subprotocol attributes ('dcsa' attributes)
[RFC8864] in the "m=" section describing the SCTP association used to
realize the MSRP data channel. An SDP attribute included in a 'dcsa'
attribute is referred to as a DCSA-embedded attribute.
If an offerer or answerer receives a 'dcsa' attribute that contains an SDP attribute for which usage has not been defined for an MSRP data channel, the offerer or answerer should ignore the 'dcsa' attribute, following the rules in Section 6.7 of [RFC8864].
An offerer and answerer SHALL include a 'dcsa' attribute for each of the following MSRP-specific SDP attributes:
- defined in [RFC4975]: 'path'.
- defined in [RFC6714]: 'msrp-cema'.
- defined in [RFC6135]: 'setup'. See Section 4.5.
It is considered a protocol error if one or more of the DCSA-embedded attributes listed above are not included in an offer or answer.
An offerer and answerer MAY include a 'dcsa' attribute for any of the following MSRP-specific SDP attributes, following the procedures defined for each attribute:
- defined in [RFC4975]: 'accept-types', 'accept-wrapped-types', and
'max-size'.
- defined in [RFC4566]: 'sendonly', 'recvonly', 'inactive', and
'sendrecv'.
- defined in [RFC5547]: all the parameters related to MSRP file
transfer. See Section 4.7.
A subsequent offer or answer MAY update the previously negotiated MSRP subprotocol attributes while keeping the 'dcmap' attribute associated with the MSRP data channel unchanged. The semantics for newly negotiated MSRP subprotocol attributes are per [RFC4975].
When MSRP messages are transported on a data channel, the 'path' attribute is not used for the routing of the messages. The MSRP data channel is established using the SDP offer/answer procedures defined in [RFC8864], and the MSRP messages are then transported on that data channel. This is different from legacy MSRP [RFC4975] but similar to MSRP Connection Establishment for Media Anchoring (MSRP CEMA) [RFC6714]. Because of this, a DCSA-embedded 'msrp-cema' attribute is mandated for MSRP sessions over data channels. However, when an endpoint receives an MSRP message over a data channel, it MUST still perform the MSRP URI comparison procedures defined in [RFC4975].
4.5. Use of the DCSA-Embedded 'setup' Attribute
As described in Section 4.4, the usage of a DCSA-embedded 'setup' attribute is mandated for MSRP sessions over data channels. It is used to negotiate which MSRP data channel endpoint assumes the active role as per Section 4.2.2 of [RFC6135] and Section 5.4 of [RFC4975]. It has no relationship with the DTLS connection establishment roles [RFC8841].
The DCSA-embedded 'setup' attribute is of the form "a=dcsa:x setup:<role>", with x being the data channel's SCTP stream identifier, so that the 'setup' attribute is explicitly associated with an MSRP session over a specific data channel.
4.6. Session Closing
An MSRP session is closed by closing the associated data channel following the procedures in [RFC8864].
The port value for the "m=" line SHOULD NOT be changed (e.g., to zero) when closing an MSRP session (unless all data channels are being closed and the SCTP association is no longer needed) since this would close the SCTP association and impact all of the data channels. In all cases in [RFC4975] where the procedure calls for setting the port to zero in the MSRP "m=" line in an SDP offer for TCP transport, the SDP offerer of an MSRP session with data channel transport SHALL remove the corresponding 'dcmap' and 'dcsa' attributes.
4.7. Support for MSRP File Transfer Function
SDP attributes specified in [RFC5547] for a file transfer "m=" line are embedded as subprotocol-specific attributes using the syntax defined in [RFC8864].
4.8. Example
Below is an example of an offer and an answer that include the attributes needed to establish two MSRP sessions: one for chat and one for file transfer. The example is derived from a combination of examples in [RFC4975] and [RFC5547].

5. MSRP Considerations
The procedures specified in [RFC4975] apply except when this document specifies otherwise. This section describes the MSRP considerations specific to an MSRP data channel.
5.1. Session Mapping
In this document, each MSRP session maps to one data channel exactly.
5.2. Session Opening
Section 4.5 describes how the active MSRP data channel endpoint role is negotiated. The active MSRP data channel endpoint uses the data channel established for this MSRP session by the generic data channel opening procedure defined in [RFC8864].
As soon as the WebRTC data channel is opened, the MSRP session is actually opened by the active MSRP data channel endpoint. In order to do this, the active MSRP data channel endpoint sends an MSRP SEND message (empty or not) to the peer (passive) MSRP data channel endpoint.
5.3. Session Closing
The closure of an MSRP session SHALL be signaled via SDP following the requirements in Section 4.6.
If the data channel used to transport the MSRP session fails and is
torn down, the MSRP data channel endpoints SHALL consider the MSRP
session failed. An MSRP data channel endpoint MAY, based on local
policy, try to negotiate a new MSRP data channel.
5.4. Data Framing
Each text-based MSRP message is sent on the corresponding data
channel using standard MSRP framing and chunking procedures, as
defined in [RFC4975], with each MSRP chunk delivered in a single SCTP
user message. Therefore all sent MSRP chunks SHALL have lengths of
less than or equal to the value of the peer's 'max-message-size'
attribute [RFC8841] associated with the SCTP association.
5.5. Data Sending, Receiving, and Reporting
Data sending, receiving, and reporting procedures SHALL conform to [RFC4975].
5.6. Support for MSRP File Transfer Function
[RFC5547] defines an end-to-end file transfer method based on MSRP
and the SDP offer/answer mechanism. This file transfer method is
also usable by MSRP data channel endpoints with the following
considerations:
- As an MSRP session maps to one data channel, a file transfer
session maps also to one data channel.
- SDP attributes are negotiated as specified in Section 4.7.
- Once the file transfer is complete, the same data channel MAY be
reused for another file transfer.
6. Gateway Considerations
This section describes the network configuration where one MSRP endpoint uses an MSRP data channel as MSRP transport, the other MSRP endpoint uses TLS/TCP connections as MSRP transport, and the two MSRP endpoints interwork via a gateway.
Specifically, a gateway can be configured to interwork an MSRP session over a data channel with a peer that does not support data channel transport in one of two ways.
In one model, the gateway performs as an MSRP Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA) to interwork all the procedures as necessary between the endpoints. No further specification is needed for this model.
Alternately, the gateway can provide transport-level interworking between MSRP endpoints using different transport protocols. In accordance with Section 4.4, 'path' attributes SHALL NOT be used for transport-level interworking.
When the gateway performs transport-level interworking between MSRP endpoints, all of the procedures in Section 4 and Section 5 apply to each peer, with the following additions:
- The gateway SHALL use the MSRP CEMA mechanism [RFC6714] towards
the non-data channel endpoint.
- If the non-data channel endpoint does not support MSRP CEMA,
transport-level interworking mode is not possible, and the gateway
needs to act as an MSRP B2BUA.
- The gateway SHALL NOT modify the 'path' attribute received from
data channel or from non-data channel endpoints.
- The gateway SHALL NOT modify the 'setup' value received from data
channel or from non-data channel endpoints.
- The endpoint establishing an MSRP session using data channel
transport SHALL NOT request inclusion of any relays, although it
MAY interoperate with a peer that signals the use of relays.
7. Updates to RFC 4975
This document updates [RFC4975] by allowing the usage of the "msrps" scheme when the underlying connection is protected with DTLS.
8. Security Considerations
MSRP traffic over data channels, including confidentiality, integrity, and source authentication, is secured as specified by [RFC8831]. However, [RFC4975] allows transport of MSRP traffic over nonsecured TCP connections and does not provide a mechanism to guarantee usage of TLS end to end. As described in [RFC4975], even if TLS is used between some hops, TCP might still be used between other hops. Operators need to establish proper policies in order to ensure that the MSRP traffic is protected between endpoints.
[RFC5547] specifies security considerations related to the usage of MSRP for file transfer.
[RFC7092] specifies security considerations related to B2BUAs.
Note that the discussion in Section 14.5 of [RFC4975] on MSRP message attribution to remote identities applies to data channel transport.
If the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] is used to implement the offer/answer transactions for establishing the MSRP data channel, the SIP security considerations specified in [RFC3261] apply.
9. IANA Considerations
9.1. "msrps" URI scheme
This document modifies the usage of the "msrps" URI scheme, registered by [RFC4975], by adding DTLS as a protected transport indicated by the URI scheme.
A reference to RFC 8873 has been added to the URI scheme "msrps" in the "Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Schemes" registry.
9.2. Subprotocol Identifier "msrp"
A reference to RFC 8873 has been added to the subprotocol identifier "msrp" in the "WebSocket Subprotocol Name Registry".
9.3. SDP Attributes
This document modifies the usage of a set of SDP attributes if any of those attributes is included in an SDP 'dcsa' attribute associated with an MSRP data channel. The modified usage of the SDP 'setup' attribute is described in Section 4.5. The usage of the other SDP attributes is described in Section 4.4.
