Session Description Protocol (SDP), is a format for describing streaming media initialization parameters. It has been published by the IETF as RFC 4566. <ref>RFC 4566, SDP: Session Description Protocol, July 2006.</ref>

SDP is intended for describing multimedia sessions for the purposes of session announcement, session invitation, and other forms of multimedia session initiation.

SDP started off as a component of the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP), but found other uses in conjunction with RTP, SIP and just as a standalone format for describing multicast sessions.

There are five terms related to SDP:

  1. Conference: It is a set of two or more communicating users along with the software they are using.
  2. Session : Session is the multimedia sender and receiver and the flowing stream of data.
  3. Session Announcement: A session announcement is a mechanism by which a session description is conveyed to users in a proactive fashion, i.e., the session description was not explicitly requested by the user.
  4. Session Advertisement : same as session announcement
  5. Session Description : A well defined format for conveying sufficient information to discover and participate in a multimedia session.
