The response returns a session identifier that should be used together with the stream control commands (for example PLAY, PAUSE and TEARDOWN). If the session header includes the timeout parameter, the session will close after the timeout time unless explicitly kept alive. Session can be kept alive by sending RTSP requests to the Axis product containing the session identifier (for example OPTIONS, see 3.2.5 RTSP OPTIONS) within the timeout time or by using RTCP messages. Reconfiguration of transport parameters is not supported.

Example 4:

The response to the first SETUP request returns the session identifier (Session) which is used in subsequent requests. The parameter trackID should be read from DESCRIBE and used in SETUP.
