<abstract>
<t>This document defines an RTP Control Protocol(RTCP) Extended Report
(XR) Block that allows the reporting of Burst and Gap Discard metrics
for use in a range of RTP applications.</t>
</abstract>
</front>
<middle>
<section anchor="intro" title="Introduction">
<section title="Burst and Gap Discard Report Block">
<t>This document defines a new block type to augment those defined in
<xref target="RFC3611"></xref> for use in a range of RTP applications.
The new block type supports the reporting of the proportion of packets
discarded by the jitter buffer at the receiver, using packet discard
logic according to the jitter buffer algorithms. The discards during
discard bursts are reported, together with the number of bursts. This
block is intended to be used in conjunction with <xref
target="DISCARD"></xref> which provides the total packets discarded,
and on which this block therefore depends. However the metric in <xref
target="DISCARD"></xref> may be used independently of the metrics in
this block.</t>
<t>This block provides information on transient IP problems. Burst/Gap
metrics are typically used in cumulative reports, however they also
may be used in interval reports (see the Interval Metric flag in
section 3.2). The burstiness of packet discard affects user
experience, may influence any sender strategies to mitigate the
problem, and may also have diagnostic value.</t>
<t>The metric belongs to the class of transport-related end system
metrics defined in <xref target="RFC6792"></xref>.</t>
<t>The definitions of Burst, Gap, Loss and Discard are consistent with
definitions in <xref target="RFC3611"></xref>. To accommodate the
range of jitter buffer algorithms and packet discard logic that may be
used by implementors, the method used to distinguish between bursts
and gaps shall use an equivalent method to that defined in the section
4.7.2 of <xref target="RFC3611"></xref>. Note that Reporting the
specific jitter buffer algorithms and/or packet discard logic is out
of scope of this document.</t>
</section>
<section title="RTCP and RTCP XR Reports">
<t>The use of RTCP for reporting is defined in <xref
target="RFC3550"></xref>. <xref target="RFC3611"></xref> defined an
extensible structure for reporting using an RTCP Extended Report (XR).
This document defines a new Extended Report block for use with <xref
target="RFC3550"></xref> and <xref target="RFC3611"></xref>.</t>
</section>
<section title="Performance Metrics Framework">
<t>The Performance Metrics Framework <xref target="RFC6390"></xref>
provides guidance on the definition and specification of performance
metrics. The RTP Monitoring Architectures <xref
target="RFC6792"></xref> provides guideline for reporting block format
using RTCP XR. The metrics block described in this document are in
accordance with the guidelines in <xref target="RFC6390"></xref> and
<xref target="RFC6792"></xref>.</t>
</section>
<section title="Applicability">
<t>These metrics are applicable to a range of RTP applications which
contain de-jitter buffers <xref target="RFC5481"></xref> at the
receiving end to smooth variation in packet arriving time and don't
use stream repair means, e.g., Forward Error Correction (FEC) <xref
target="RFC5109"></xref> and/or retransmission <xref
target="RFC4588"></xref>.</t>
</section>
</section>
<section title="Terminology">
<section title="Standards Language">
<t>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in <xref
target="RFC2119">RFC 2119</xref>.</t>
<t>In addition, the following terms are defined:</t>
<t><list style="hanging">
<t hangText="Received, Lost and Discarded"><vspace
blankLines="1" />A packet shall be regarded as lost if it fails to
arrive within an implementation-specific time window. A packet
that arrives within this time window but is either too early to be
played out or too late to be played out or thrown away before
playout due to packet duplication or redundancy shall be regarded
as discarded. A packet shall not be regarded as discarded if it
arrives within this time window but is dropped during decoding by
some higher layer decoder, e.g., due to a decoding error. A packet
shall be classified as one of received (or OK), discarded or lost.
The metric "cumulative number of packets lost" defined in <xref
target="RFC3550"></xref> reports a count of packets lost from the
media stream (single SSRC within single RTP session). Similarly
the metric "number of packets discarded" defined in <xref
target="DISCARD"></xref> reports a count of packets discarded from
the media stream (single SSRC within single RTP session) arriving
at the receiver. Another metric defined in <xref
target="RFC5725"></xref> is available to report on packets which
are not recovered by any repair techniques which may be in use.
Note that the term discard defined here build on the Discard
definition <xref target="RFC3611"></xref>, but extend the concept
to take into account the packet duplication, and report different
types of discard counts <xref target="DISCARD"></xref>. <vspace
blankLines="1" /></t>
<t hangText="Bursts and Gaps"><vspace blankLines="1" />The terms
Burst and Gap are used in a manner consistent with that of RTCP XR
[RFC3611]. RTCP XR views a RTP stream as being divided into
bursts, which are periods during which the discard rate is high
enough to cause noticeable quality degradation (generally over 5
percent discard rate), and gaps, which are periods during which
discarded packets are infrequent and hence quality is generally
acceptable. <vspace blankLines="1" /></t>
</list></t>
</section>
</section>
<section title="Burst/Gap Discard Block">
<t>Metrics in this block report on Burst/Gap Discard in the stream
arriving at the RTP system. The measurement of these metrics are made at
the receiving end of the RTP stream. Instances of this metrics block
refer by Synchronization source (SSRC) to the separate auxiliary
Measurement Information Block <xref target="RFC6776"></xref> which
describes measurement periods in use (see RFC6776 section 4.2).</t>
<t>This metrics block relies on the measurement period in the
Measurement Information Block indicating the span of the report. Senders
MUST send this block in the same compound RTCP packet as the Measurement
Information Block. Receivers MUST verify that the measurement period is
received in the same compound RTCP packet as this metrics block. If not,
this metrics block MUST be discarded.</t>

<section title="Definition of Fields in Burst/Gap Discard Report Block">
<t><list style="hanging">
<t hangText="Block type (BT): 8 bits"><vspace blankLines="1" />A
Burst/Gap Discard Report Block is identified by the constant
NBGD.<vspace blankLines="1" />[Note to RFC Editor: please replace
NBGD with the IANA provided RTCP XR block type for this
block.]<vspace blankLines="1" /></t>
<t hangText="Interval Metric flag (I): 2 bits"><vspace
blankLines="1" />This field is used to indicate whether the
Burst/Gap Discard metrics are Sampled, Interval or Cumulative
metrics <xref target="RFC6792"></xref>: <list>
<t>I=10: Interval Duration - the reported value applies to the
most recent measurement interval duration between successive
metrics reports.</t>
<t>I=11: Cumulative Duration - the reported value applies to
the accumulation period characteristic of cumulative
measurements.</t>
<t>I=01: Sampled Value - the reported value is a sampled
instantaneous value.</t>
</list>In this document, Burst/Gap Discard Metrics can only be
measured over definite intervals, and cannot be sampled. Also, the
value I=00 is reserved for future use. Senders MUST NOT use the
values I=00 or I=01. If a block is received with I=00 or I=01, the
receiver MUST discard the block. <vspace blankLines="1" /></t>
<t hangText="Reserved (resv): 6 bits"><vspace
blankLines="1" />These bits are reserved. They MUST be set to zero
by senders and ignored by receivers (See RFC6709 section 4.2).
<vspace blankLines="1" /></t>
<t hangText="block length: 16 bits"><vspace blankLines="1" /> The
length of this report block in 32-bit words, minus one. For the
Burst/Gap discard block, the block length is equal to 3. The block
MUST be discarded if the block length is set to a different

defined in Section 4.1 of <xref target="RFC3611"></xref>.<vspace
blankLines="1" /></t>
<t hangText="Threshold: 8 bits"><vspace blankLines="1" />The
Threshold is equivalent to Gmin in <xref target="RFC3611"></xref>,
i.e. the number of successive packets that must not be discarded
prior to and following a discard packet in order for this
discarded packet to be regarded as part of a gap. Note that the
threshold is set in accordance with Gmin Calculation defined in
section 4.7.2 of RFC3611.<vspace blankLines="1" /></t>
<t hangText="Packets discarded in bursts: 24 bits"><vspace
blankLines="1" />The total number of packets discarded during
discard bursts.<vspace blankLines="1" />The measured value is
unsigned value. If the measured value exceeds 0xFFFFFD, the value
0xFFFFFE MUST be reported to indicate an over-range measurement.
If the measurement is unavailable, the value 0xFFFFFF MUST be
reported. <vspace blankLines="1" /></t>
<t hangText="Total packets expected in bursts: 24 bits"><vspace
blankLines="1" />The total number of packets expected during
discarded bursts (that is, the sum of received packets and lost
packets). <vspace blankLines="1" />The measured value is unsigned
value. If the measured value exceeds 0xFFFFFD, the value 0xFFFFFE
MUST be reported to indicate an over-range measurement. If the

<section title="Derived metrics based on reported metrics">
<t>The metrics described here are intended to be used in conjunction
with information from the Measurement Information Block <xref
target="RFC6776"></xref> and also with the metric "number of packets
discarded" provided in the RTCP XR Discard Count Block <xref
target="DISCARD"></xref>.</t>
<t>These metrics provide the following information relevant to
statistical parameters, including:<list style="symbols">
<t>The fraction of packets discarded during bursts (burst discard
rate in <xref target="SUMSTAT"></xref>), which can be calculated
using the metric " Packets Discarded in Bursts " and the metric "
Total Packets expected in Bursts " provided in the Burst/Gap
Discard Metrics Block.</t>
<t>The fraction of packets discarded during gaps (gap discard rate
in <xref target="SUMSTAT"></xref>), which can be calculated using
the metric " Packets Discarded in Bursts " and the metric " Total
Packets expected in Bursts " provided in the Burst/Gap Discard
Metrics Block.</t>
</list></t>
<t>The details on calculation these parameters in the metrics are
described in <xref target="SUMSTAT"></xref>.</t>
</section>
</section>
<section title="Considerations for Voice-over-IP applications">
<t>This metrics block is applicable to a broad range of RTP
applications. Where the metric is used with a Voice over IP (VoIP)
application and the stream repair means is not available, the following
considerations apply.</t>
<t>RTCP XR views a call as being divided into bursts, which are periods
during which the discard rate is high enough to cause noticeable call
quality degradation (generally over 5 percent discard rate), and gaps,
which are periods during which discarded packets are infrequent and
hence call quality is generally acceptable.</t>
<t>If voice activity detection is used, the Burst and Gap Duration shall
be determined as if silence packets had been sent, i.e. a period of
silence in excess of Gmin packets will terminate a burst condition.</t>
<t>The recommended value for the threshold Gmin in <xref
target="RFC3611"></xref> results in a Burst being a period of time
during which the call quality is degraded to a similar extent to a
typical pulse-code modulation(PCM) severely errored second.</t>
</section>
<section title="SDP Signaling">
<t>[RFC3611] defines the use of SDP (Session Description Protocol) <xref
target="RFC4566"></xref> for signaling the use of XR blocks. XR blocks
MAY be used without prior signaling.</t>
<section title="SDP rtcp-xr-attrib Attribute Extension">
<t>This section augments the SDP <xref target="RFC4566"></xref>
attribute "rtcp-xr" defined in <xref target="RFC3611"></xref> by
providing an additional value of "xr-format" to signal the use of the
report block defined in this document.<figure>

xr-format =/ xr-bgd-block
xr-bgd-block = "burst-gap-discard"
</artwork>
</figure></t>
</section>
<section title="Offer/Answer Usage">
<t>When SDP is used in offer-answer context, the SDP Offer/Answer
usage defined in <xref target="RFC3611"></xref> for unilateral
"rtcp-xr" attribute parameters applies. For detailed usage in
Offer/Answer for unilateral parameter, refer to section 5.2 of <xref
target="RFC3611"></xref>.</t>

</section>
<section title="IANA Considerations">
<t>New block types for RTCP XR are subject to IANA registration. For
general guidelines on IANA considerations for RTCP XR, refer to <xref

<section title="New RTCP XR Block Type value">
<t>This document assigns the block type value NBGD in the IANA " RTP
Control Protocol Extended Reports (RTCP XR) Block Type Registry " to
the "Burst/Gap Discard Metrics Block".</t>
<t>[Note to RFC Editor: please replace NBGD with the IANA provided
RTCP XR block type for this block.]</t>

<section title="Security Considerations">
<t>It is believed that this proposed RTCP XR report block introduces no
new security considerations beyond those described in <xref
target="RFC3611"></xref>. This block does not provide per-packet
statistics so the risk to confidentiality documented in Section 7,
paragraph 3 of <xref target="RFC3611"></xref> does not apply.</t>

<abstract>
<t>This document defines the Extended Report (XR) packet type for
the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP), and defines how the use of XR
packets can be signaled by an application if it employs the
Session Description Protocol (SDP). XR packets are composed of
report blocks, and seven block types are defined here. The purpose
of the extended reporting format is to convey information that
supplements the six statistics that are contained in the report
blocks used by RTCP's Sender Report (SR) and Receiver Report (RR)
packets. Some applications, such as multicast inference of network
characteristics (MINC) or voice over IP (VoIP) monitoring, require
other and more detailed statistics. In addition to the block types
defined here, additional block types may be defined in the future
by adhering to the framework that this document provides.</t>
