Editing Real-Time Streaming Protocol (section)

=== ANNOUNCE ===
The ANNOUNCE method serves two purposes:
: When sent from client to server, ANNOUNCE posts the description of a presentation or media object identified by the request URL to a server. When sent from server to client, ANNOUNCE updates the session description in real time. If a new media stream is added to a presentation (e.g., during a live presentation), the whole presentation description should be sent again, rather than just the additional components, so that components can be deleted.
