RFC 3266 Support for IPv6 in Session Description Protocol June 2002
hexseq = hex4 *( ":" hex4)
hex4 = 1*4HEXDIG
4. Example SDP description with IPv6 addresses
The following is an example SDP description using the above ABNF for
IPv6 addresses. In particular, the origin and connection fields
contain IPv6 addresses.
v=0
o=nasa1 971731711378798081 0 IN IP6 2201:056D::112E:144A:1E24
s=(Almost) live video feed from Mars-II satellite
p=+1 713 555 1234
c=IN IP6 FF1E:03AD::7F2E:172A:1E24
t=3338481189 3370017201
m=audio 6000 RTP/AVP 2
a=rtpmap:2 G726-32/8000
m=video 6024 RTP/AVP 107
a=rtpmap:107 H263-1998/90000
5. Note for implementors
An implementation may receive an SDP session description with an IPv6
address whose format [1] is internally that of an IPv4 mapped
address. Note that such an address is actually the address of an
IPv4-only node, and implementors are warned to interpret IPv4 mapped
addresses as equivalent to IP4.
6. IANA Considerations
This document updates the definition of the IP6 addrtype parameter
found in RFC 2327.
7. Security Considerations
No additional considerations above what is stated in section 7 of RFC
2327.
