3 weeks ago I don't think this page needs to list session ID. It's a glossary entry, not documentation for the protocol. I don't think it's realistic for it to include all the important parts of the format.
As a glossary page, this page needs to do three things:
- say what the item is at a high level
- say how it's related to/used in the web platform
- link to more details
That said, this isn't a very successful page on those terms:
- it doesn't give a great explanation of what it is (e.g. "describing a peer-to-peer connection" when the main point seems to be that it is about media)
- although it mentions WebRTC it doesn't say where in WebRTC is it used, and WebRTC is huge
- it doesn't link to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8866

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
What did you expect to see?
Unique id is important, I guess?
I was trying to figure out if cache for signaling is possible, and I found information unique or always changes so far is just
sess-id. Is this correct?Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
<sess-id> is a numeric string such that the tuple of <username>, <sess-id>, <nettype>, <addrtype>, and <unicast-address> forms a globally unique identifier for the session. The method of <sess-id> allocation is up to the creating tool, but a timestamp, in seconds since January 1, 1900 UTC, is recommended to ensure uniqueness.https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8866.htmlDo you have anything more you want to share?
