Sdp Protocol: Attribute Recvonly, Who Will Receive?

I am developing an SDP packet parser and creator. If attribute a is set to recvonly like

a=recvonly

person A sent this attribute to the server S. Then who will open the connection in receive only mode? Person A or server S?

Similarly if person A set 'a' attribute to 'sendrecv' and server only accepts the connection in sendonly mode what to do here ?

I have got the answer for the first question. If person A sends 'a=recvonly' person A will open the connection in 'sendonly' mode and server S will open the connection in 'recvonly' mode. As stated in RFC 4566 Section 6.
