Paul,

I assume this is limited to anything which implements
draft-ietf-mmusic-dtls-sdp, which means it covers UDP/TLS/*, UDP/DTLS/* or
TDP/DTLS/* protocols such as UDP/TLS/RTP/SAVP, TCP/DTLS/RTP/SAVP,
UDP/DTLS/SCTP, TCP/DTLS/SCTP.

TCP/* and TLS/* protocols are not in scope of this discussion and they
continue to be covered by RFC 4145 as far as setup attribute is concerned.

Regards,
