This document provides a general mechanism to use the header
extension feature of RTP (the Real-Time Transport Protocol).  It
provides the option to use a small number of small extensions in each
RTP packet, where the universe of possible extensions is large and
registration is de-centralized.  The actual extensions in use in a
session are signaled in the setup information for that session.
