<abstract>
<t>This memo proposes an architecture for extending RTCP with a new RTCP
XR (RFC3611) block type to report new metrics regarding media
transmission or reception quality, as proposed in RFC5968. This memo
suggests that a new block should contain a single metric or a small
number of metrics relevant to a single parameter of interest or concern,
rather than containing a number of metrics which attempt to provide full
coverage of all those parameters of concern to a specific application.
Applications may then "mix and match" to create a set of blocks which
covers their set of concerns. Where possible, a specific block should be
designed to be re-usable across more than one application, for example,
for all of voice, streaming audio and video.</t>

<section anchor="intro" title="Introduction">
<t>As more users and subscribers rely on real time application services,
uncertainties in the performance and availability of these services are
driving the need to support new standard methods for gathering
performance metrics from RTP applications. These rapidly emerging
standards, such as RTCP XR <xref target="RFC3611"></xref>and other RTCP
extension to Sender Reports(SR), Receiver Reports (RR) <xref
target="RFC3550"></xref>are being developed for the purpose of
collecting and reporting performance metrics from endpoint devices that
can be used to correlate the metrics, provide end to end service
visibility and measure and monitor QoE.</t>
<t>However the proliferation of RTP/RTCP specific metrics for transport
and application quality monitoring has been identified as a potential
problem for RTP/RTCP interoperability, which attempt to provide full
coverage of all those parameters of concern to a specific application.
Since different applications layered on RTP may have some monitoring
requirements in common, therefore these metrics should be satisfied by a
common design.</t>
<t>The objective of this document is to define an extensible RTP
monitoring framework to provide a small number of re-usable QoS/QoE
metrics which facilitate reduced implementation costs and help maximize
inter-operability. <xref target="RFC5968"></xref> has stated that, where
RTCP is to be extended with a new metric, the preferred mechanism is by
the addition of a new RTCP XR <xref target="RFC3611"></xref> block. This
memo assumes that any requirement for a new metric to be transported in
RTCP will use a new RTCP XR block.</t>
</section>
<section title="Requirements notation">
<t>This memo is informative and as such contains no normative
requirements.</t>
<t>In addition, the following terms are defined:</t>
<t><list style="hanging">
<t hangText="Transport level metrics"><vspace blankLines="1" />A set
of metrics which characterise the three transport impairments of
packet loss, packet delay, and packet delay variation. These metrics
should be usable by any application which uses RTP transport.<vspace
blankLines="1" /></t>
<t hangText="Application level metrics"><vspace
blankLines="1" />Metrics relating to QoE related parameters. These
metrics are measured at the application level and focus on quality
of content rather than network parameters. One example of such
metrics is the Multimedia Quality Metric specified in <xref
target="MQ"></xref>. <vspace blankLines="1" /></t>
<t hangText="End System metrics"><vspace blankLines="1" />Metrics
relating to the way a terminal deals with transport impairments
affecting the incident RTP stream. These may include de-jitter
buffering, packet loss concealment, and the use of redundant streams
(if any) for correction of error or loss.<vspace
blankLines="1" /></t>

<section title="RTP monitoring architecture">
<t>The RTP monitoring architecture comprises the following two key
functional components shown below:<list style="symbols">
<t>Monitor</t>
<t>Metric Block Structure</t>
</list></t>
<t>Monitor is a functional component defined in RFC3550 that acts as a
source of information gathered for monitoring purposes. It may also
collect statistics from multiple source, stores such information
reported by RTCP XR or other RTCP extension appropriately as base metric
or calculates composite metric. According to the definition of monitor
in RFC3550, the end system that source RTP streams, an
intermediate-system that forwards RTP packets to End-devices or a third
party that does not participate RTP session (i.e., the third party
monitor depicted in figure 1) can be envisioned to act as the Monitor
within the RTP monitoring architecture.</t>
<t>The Metric Block exposes real time Application Quality information in
the appropriate report block format to the Monitor within the RTP
monitoring architecture. Both the RTCP or RTCP XR can be extended to
convey such information. The details on transport protocol for metric
block is described in <xref target="sec2"></xref>.</t>

<section title="Issues with reporting metric block using RTCP XR extension">
<t>Issues that have come up in the past with reporting metric block
using RTCP XR extensions include (but are probably not limited to) the
following:<list style="symbols">
<t>Using large block. A single report block or metric is designed to
contain a large number of parameters in different classes for a
specific application. For example, RFC 3611 <xref
target="RFC3611"></xref> defines seven report block formats for
network management and quality monitoring. However some of these
block types defined in <xref target="RFC3611"></xref> are only
specifically designed for conveying multicast inference of network
characteristics(MINC) or voice over IP (VoIP) monitoring. However
different applications layered on RTP may have some monitoring
requirements in common, design large block only for specific
applications may increase implementation cost and minimize
interoperability.</t>
<t>Correlating RTCP XR with the non-RTP data. CNAME <xref
target="RFC3550"></xref> is an example of existing tool that allows
to bind an SSRC that may change to a fixed source name in one RTP
session. It is also fixed across multiple RTP sessions from the same
source. However there may be situations where RTCP reports are sent
to other participating endpoints using non-RTP protocol in a
session. For example, as described in <xref
target="RFC6035"></xref>, the data contained in RTCP XR VoIP metrics
reports <xref target="RFC3611"></xref> are forwarded to a central
collection server systems using SIP. In such case, there is a large
portfolio of quality parameters that can be associated with real
time application,e.g., VOIP application, but only a minimal number
of parameters are included on the RTCP-XR reports. Therefore
correlation between RTCP XR and non-RTP data should be concerned if
administration or management systems need to rely on the mapping
RTCP statistics to non-RTCP measurements to conducts data analysis
and creates alerts to the users. Without such correlation, it is
hardly to provide accurate measures of real time application quality
with a minimal number of parameters included on the RTCP-XR reports
in such case.</t>
<t>Identity Information duplication. Identity information is used to
identify an instance of a metric block. The SSRC of the measured
stream as part of the metric block is one example of Identity
information. However in some cases, Identity information may be not
part of metric and include information more than the SSRC in the
metric block, e.g., when we set a metric interval for the session
and monitor RTP packets within one or several consecutive metric
interval, extra identity information (e.g., sequence number of 1st
packet) is expected, if we put such extra identity information into
each metric block, there may be situations where an RTCP XR packet
containing more than two metric blocks including the duplicated
extra identity information, reports on the same streams from the
same source. each block have the same extra identity information for
measurement, if each metric block carry such duplicated data for the
measurement, it leads to redundant information in this design since
equivalent information is provided multiple times, once in *every*
metric block. Though this ensures immunity to packet loss, the
design may bring more complexity and the overhead is not completely
trivial in some cases.</t>
</list></t>
</section>
<section title=" Guideline for reporting block format using RTCP XR">
<section anchor="smallblock" title="Using small blocks">
<t>Different applications using RTP for media transport certainly have
differing requirements for metrics transported in RTCP to support
their operation. For many applications, the basic metrics for
transport impairments provided in RTCP SR and RR packets <xref
target="RFC3550"></xref> (together with source identification provided
in RTCP SDES packets) are sufficient. For other applications
additional metrics may be required or at least sufficiently useful to
justify the overheads, both of processing in endpoints and of
increased session bandwidth. For example an IPTV application using
Forward Error Correction (FEC) might use either a metric of
post-repair loss or a metric giving detailed information about
pre-repair loss bursts to optimise payload bandwidth and the strength
of FEC required for changing network conditions. However there are
many metrics available. It is likely that different applications or
classes of applications will wish to use different metrics. Any one
application is likely to require metrics for more than one parameter
but if this is the case, different applications will almost certainly
require different combinations of metrics. If larger blocks are
defined containing multiple metrics to address the needs of each
application, it becomes likely that many different such larger blocks
are defined, which becomes a danger to interoperability.</t>
<t>To avoid this pitfall, this memo proposes the use of small RTCP XR
metrics blocks each containing a very small number of individual
metrics characterizing only one parameter of interest to an
application running over RTP. For example, at the RTP transport layer,
the parameter of interest might be packet delay variation, and
specifically the metric "IPDV" defined by <xref
target="Y1540"></xref>. See <xref target="example"></xref> for
architectural considerations for a metrics block, using as an example
a metrics block to report packet delay variation.</t>
</section>
<section title="Correlating identity information with the non-RTP data">
<t>When more than one media transport protocols are used by one
application to interconnected to the same session (in gateway),e.g.,
one RTCP XR Packet is sent to the participating endpoints using non-
RTP-based media transport (e.g., using SIP) in a VOIP session, one
crucial factor lies in how to handle their different identities that
are corresponding to different media transport.</t>
<t>This memo proposes an approach to facilitate the correlation of the
RTCP Session with other session-related non-RTP data, i.e., if there
is a need to correlate RTP sessions with non-RTP sessions, then the
correlation information needed should be conveyed in RTCP SDES packets
since such correlation information describes the source, rather than
providing a quality report. An example use case is for a participant
endpoint may convey a call identifier or a global call identifier
associated with the SSRC of measured RTP stream . In such case, the
participant endpoint uses SSRC of source to bind the call identifier
in each chunk of the SDES RTCP packet and send such correlation using
the chunk containing SDES item to the network management system. A
flow measurement tool that is not call-aware then forward the RTCP XR
reports along with SSRC of the measured RTP stream which is included
in the XR Block header to the network management system. Network
management system can then correlate this report using SSRC with other
diagnostic information such as call detail records. </t>

</section>
<section anchor="example" title="An example of a metric block">
<t>This section uses the example of an existing proposed metrics block
to illustrate the application of the principles set out in <xref
target="smallblock"></xref>.</t>
<t>The example <xref target="PDV"></xref> (work in progress) is a block
to convey information about packet delay variation (PDV) only,
consistent with the principle that a metrics block should address only
one parameter of interest. One simple metric of PDV is available in the
RTCP RR packet as the "jit" field. There are other PDV metrics which may
be more useful to certain applications. Two such metrics are the IPDV
metric (<xref target="Y1540"></xref>, <xref target="RFC3393"></xref>)
and the MAPDV2 metric <xref target="G1020"></xref>. Use of these metrics
is consistent with the principle in Section 5 of <xref
target="RFC5968"></xref> that metrics should usually be defined
elsewhere, so that RTCP standards define only the transport of the
metric rather than its nature. The purpose of this section is to
illustrate the architecture using the example of <xref
target="PDV"></xref> (work in progress) rather than to document the
design of the PDV metrics block or to provide a tutorial on PDV in
general.</t>
<t>Given the availability of at least three metrics for PDV, there are
design options for the allocation of metrics to RTCP XR blocks:</t>
<t><list style="symbols">
<t>provide an RTCP XR block per metric</t>
<t>provide a single RTCP XR block which contains all three
metrics</t>
<t>provide a single RTCP block to convey any one of the three
metrics, together with a identifier to inform the receiving RTP
system of the specific metric being conveyed</t>
</list></t>
<t>In choosing between these options, extensibility is important,
because additional metrics of PDV may well be standardized and require
inclusion in this framework. The first option is extensible but only by
use of additional RTCP XR blocks, which may consume the limited
namespace for RTCP XR blocks at an unacceptable rate. The second option
is not extensible, so could be rejected on that basis, but in any case a
single application is quite unlikely to require transport of more than
one metric for PDV. Hence the third option was chosen. This implies the
creation of a subsidiary namespace to enumerate the PDV metrics which
may be transported by this block, as discussed further in <xref
target="PDV"></xref> (work in progress).</t>
</section>
<section anchor="topologies" title="Application to RFC 5117 topologies">
<t>The topologies specified in <xref target="RFC5117"></xref> fall into
two categories. The first category relates to the RTP system model
utilizing multicast and/or unicast. The topologies in this category are
specifically Topo-Point-to-Point, Topo- Multicast, Topo-Translator (both
variants, Topo-Trn-Translator and Topo-Media-Translator, and
combinations of the two), and Topo-Mixer. These topologies use RTP end
systems, RTP mixers and RTP translators defined in <xref
target="RFC3550"></xref>. For purposes of reporting connection quality
to other RTP systems, RTP mixers and RTP end systems are very similar.
Mixers resynchronize audio packets and do not relay RTCP reports
received from one cloud towards other cloud(s). Translators do not
resynchronize packets and SHOULD forward certain RTCP reports between
clouds. In this category, the RTP system (end system, mixer or
translator) which originates, terminates or forwards RTCP XR blocks is
expected to handle RTCP, including RTCP XR, according to <xref
target="RFC3550"></xref>. Provided this expectation is met, an RTP
system using RTCP XR is architecturally no different from an RTP system
of the same class (end system, mixer, or translator) which does not use
RTCP XR. The second category relates to deployed system models used in
many H.323 <xref target="H323"></xref> video conferences. The topologies
in this category are Topo-Video-Switch-MCU and
Topo-RTCP-terminating-MCU. Such topologies based on systems do not
behave according to <xref target="RFC3550"></xref>.</t>
<t>Considering the translator and MCU are two typical topologies in the
two categories mentioned above, this document will take them as two
typical examples to explain how RTCP XR report works in different
RFC5117 topologies. </t>
<section title="Applicability to MCU">
<t>Topo-Video-Switch-MCU and Topo-RTCP-terminating-MCU, suffer from
the difficulties described in [RFC5117]. These difficulties apply to
systems sending, and expecting to receive, RTCP XR blocks as much as
to systems using other RTCP packet types. For example, a participant
RTP end system may send media to a video switch MCU. If the media
stream is not selected for forwarding by the switch, neither RTCP RR
packets nor RTCP XR blocks referring to the end system's generated
stream will be received at the RTP end system. Strictly the RTP end
system can only conclude that its RTP has been lost in the network,
though an RTP end system complying with the robustness principle of
[RFC1122] should survive with essential functions unimpaired.</t>
</section>
<section anchor="txlat" title="Applicability to Translators">
<t>Section 7.2 of <xref target="RFC3550"></xref> describes processing
of RTCP by translators. RTCP XR is within the scope of the
recommendations of <xref target="RFC3550"></xref>. Some RTCP XR
metrics blocks may usefully be measured at, and reported by,
translators. As described in <xref target="RFC3550"></xref> this
creates a requirement for the translator to allocate an SSRC for the
monitor collocated with itself so that the monitor may populate the
SSRC in the RTCP XR packet header as packet sender SSRC and send it
out(although the translator is not a Synchronisation Source in the
sense of originating RTP media packets). It must also supply this SSRC
and the corresponding CNAME in RTCP SDES packets. </t>
<t>In RTP sessions where one or more translators generate any RTCP
traffic towards their next-neighbour RTP system, other translators in
the session have a choice as to whether they forward a translator's
RTCP packets. Forwarding may provide additional information to other
RTP systems in the connection but increases RTCP bandwidth and may in
some cases present a security risk. RTP translators may have
forwarding behaviour based on local policy, which might differ between
different interfaces of the same translator.</t>
<t>For bidirectional unicast, an RTP system may usually detect RTCP XR
from a translator by noting that the sending SSRC is not present in
any RTP media packet. However there is a possibility of a source
sending RTCP XR before it has sent any RTP media (leading to transient
mis-categorisation of an RTP end system or RTP mixer as a translator),
and for multicast sessions - or unidirectional/streaming unicast -
there is also a possibility of a receive-only end system being
permanently mis-categorised as a translator sending XR report,
i.e.,the monitor sending XR report within the translator. Hence it is
desirable for a translator that sends XR report to have a way to
declare itself explicitly. </t>
