Abstract
A method and an arrangement for enabling a communication session for streamed media between a client terminal and a server. A request-to-establish message is sent (202) from the client terminal, supplemented with a checksum generated (200) for available SDP information. The checksum is compared to a checksum generated for correct SDP information available at the server. A response message indicating the result of the comparison is received from the server (204). If the comparison indicates that the SDP information available at the server is incorrect, the response message is supplemented with the correct SDP information, to update (210) the available SDP information. The client terminal is then sending a new request-to-message supplemented with the updated SDP information. On the other hand, if the available SDP information is correct, streamed media is started to be sent (208) from the server to the client terminal. Generating a checksum of SDP information available at the client terminal and supplement to a request-to-establishment message, enables for the server to check that the SDP information available at the client terminal is up to date, thereby achieving a fast and reliabl…
