      <t>This document defines three RTP Control Protcol (RTCP) Extended
      Report (XR) Blocks and associated SDP parameters that allows the
      reporting of loss, duplication and discard summary statistics metrics
      for use in a range of RTP applications.</t>

    <section title="Introduction">
      <t>This draft defines three new block types to augment those defined in
      <xref target="RFC3611"></xref> for use in a range of RTP
      applications.</t>

      <t>The first two block types support the reporting of burst gap loss/
      discard, summary statistics including packet loss/discard proportion,
      mean and variance and belong to the class of transport related end
      system metrics defined in <xref target="MONARCH"></xref>. These two
      blocks are intended to be used in conjunction with information from the
      Burst Gap Loss metric block or Burst Gap Discard metric block, and on
      which these two block therefore depends. However the metrics in the
      Burst Gap Loss block or Burst Gap Discard metric block may be used
      independently of the metrics defined in the first two blocks.These two
      blocks reflect transient IP problem that affect user experience and can
      be used to influence sender strategies to mitigate the problem.</t>

      <t>To form an accurate assessment of user quality of experience, it is
      therefore necessary to know not just overall rates of packet
      loss/discard, but also which frame type were affected. The third block
      supports the reporting of detailed statistics for each frame type,
      including the number of received, lost and discarded of each frame type
      in the Group of Pictures (GOP) and additional data allowing the
      calculation of statistical parameters (e.g.,the proportion of each frame
      type impaired by packet loss and discard). The metrics defined in this
      block belong to the class of application layer metrics defined in <xref
      target="MONARCH"></xref>.</t>

            used in the different video algorithms compose of the key-frame
            and the Derived frame. Key-frame is also called a reference frame
            and used as a reference for predicting other pictures. It is coded
            without prediction from other pictures. The Derived frame is
            derived from Key-frame using prediction from the reference frame.

        <t>The metrics described here are intended to be used as described in
        this section, in conjunction with information from the Measurement
        Information block <xref target="MEASIDENT"></xref> (which MUST be
        present in the same RTCP packet as the Burst/Gap Loss block) and also
        with the metric "cumulative number of packets lost" provided in
        standard RTCP <xref target="RFC3550"></xref>.</t>

        <t>These metrics provide information relevant to statistical
        parameters, including burst loss rate, gap loss rate, burst duration
        mean, burst duration variance and are calculated using burst gap loss
        metrics defined in <xref target="BGLOSS"></xref> and other information
