Behaviour

When a feature requires SDP conflict management, it can call SdpRewriting.startSdpRewritingForLegs() to start an SDP rewriting association between a pair of legs. This association is persisted in session state, and includes rules for rewriting SDP sent in either direction, so that conflicts are avoided. The SDP Rewriter feature then examines SDP message bodies on all messages sent on these legs, and rewrites the SDP as appropriate. If either party updates their session description, this feature updates its rewriting rules for the legs, so that changes are propagated correctly to the other party.

For more details see SDP conflict management.

Note

The SDP Rewriter feature must run as a post-system feature on all execution points, to ensure that messages containing SDP sent by other features can be rewritten before transmission.

The feature must run before the SDP Monitor feature, so that SDP Monitor sees the updated SDP, if present.
