Summary

This Recommendation defines BICC IP bearer control protocol. BICC IP bearer control protocol (IPBCP) is used for the exchange of media stream characteristics, port numbers and IP addresses of the source and sink of a media stream to establish and allow the modification of IP bearers. The information exchanged with IPBCP is done during BICC call establishment. In addition it may be exchanged after a call has been established. IPBCP uses the Session Description Protocol (SDP) defined in RFC 2327 to encode this information.
