<t>This document defines an RTCP XR Report Block and associated SDP
parameters that allows the reporting of application layer summary, loss
discard and burst metrics for use in a range of RTP applications.</t>

<section title="Introduction">
<t>RFC 3611 <xref target="RFC3611"></xref> defines seven report block
formats for network management and quality monitoring. However, some of
these metrics are mostly for multicast inference of network
characteristics (MINC) or voice over IP (VoIP) monitoring and not widely
applicable to other applications, e.g., video quality monitoring. This
document focuses on specifying new additional report block types used to
convey video related parameters at application layer that are
generically designed for use in audio and video services. <vspace
blankLines="1" />The metrics belong to the class of application layer
metrics defined in <xref target="MONARCH"></xref> (work in
progress).</t>

<t> A frame shall be regarded as lost if it fails to arrive within an
implementation-specific time window. A frame that arrives within this
time window but is too early or late to be played out shall be
regarded as discarded. A frame shall be classified as one of received
(or OK), discarded or lost. <vspace blankLines="1" /></t>
<t>This block reports Loss and Discard metrics statistics beyond the
information carried in the standard RTCP packet format. The block
reports separately on packets lost on the IP channel, and those that
have been received but then discarded by the receiving jitter buffer.
<vspace blankLines="1" /> It is very useful to distinguish between
frames lost by the network and those discarded due to jitter. Both
have equal effect on the quality of the video stream, however, having
separate counts helps identify the source of quality degradation.
These fields MUST be populated, and MUST be set to zero if no frames
have been received. <vspace blankLines="1" />The Loss and Discard
metrics are determined after the effects of FEC, redundancy (RFC2198)
or other similar process. Implementations MUST provide values for all
the fields defined here. For certain metrics, if the value is
undefined or unknown, then the specified default or unknown field
value MUST be provided.<vspace blankLines="1" />The block is encoded

frame) (after the effects of applying any error protection such as
FEC) by the total number of frames expected, multiplying the
result of the division by 256, limiting the maximum value to 255
(to avoid overflow), and taking the integer part. The numbers of
duplicated frames and discarded frames do not enter into this
calculation. Since receivers cannot be required to maintain
unlimited buffers, a receiver MAY categorize late-arriving frames
as lost. The degree of lateness that triggers a loss SHOULD be
significantly greater than that which triggers a discard. <vspace

as a fixed point number with the binary point at the left edge of
the field. It is calculated by dividing the total number of
discarded frames containing specified frame (e.g., Key Frame)
(excluding duplicate frames discards) by the total number of

limiting the maximum value to 255 (to avoid overflow), and taking

<section anchor="ALBM" title="Application Layer Burst Metrics Block">
<t>This block reports Burst metrics statistics beyond the information
carried in the standard RTCP packet format. It reports on the combined
effect of losses and discards, as both have equal effect on video
quality. <vspace blankLines="1" /> In order to properly assess the
quality of a video stream, it is desirable to consider the degree of
burstiness of packet loss <xref target="RFC3357">RFC 3357</xref>.
Following the one-way loss pattern sample metrics discussed in <xref
target="RFC3357"></xref>, a measure of the spacing between consecutive
network packet loss or error events, is a "loss distance". The loss
distance metric captures the spacing between the loss periods. The
duration of a loss or error event (e.g. and how many packets are lost
in that duration) is a "loss period", the loss period metric captures
the frequency and length (burstiness) of loss once it starts. Delay
reports include the transit delay between RTP end points and the end
system processing delays, both of which contribute to the user
perceived delay. <vspace blankLines="1" />Implementations MUST provide
values for all the fields defined here. For certain metrics, if the
value is undefined or unknown, then the specified default or unknown

<abstract>
<t>This memo describes an RTP payload format for Scalable Video
Coding (SVC) as defined in Annex G of ITU-T Recommendation H.264,
which is technically identical to Amendment 3 of ISO/IEC
International Standard 14496-10. The RTP payload format allows for
packetization of one or more Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) units
in each RTP packet payload, as well as fragmentation of a NAL unit
in multiple RTP packets. Furthermore, it supports transmission of
an SVC stream over a single as well as multiple RTP sessions. The
payload format defines a new media subtype name "H264-SVC", but is
still backwards compatible to [I-D.ietf-avt-rtp-rfc3984bis] since
the base layer, when encapsulated in its own RTP stream, must use
the H.264 media subtype name ("H264") and the packetization method
specified in [I- D.ietf-avt-rtp-rfc3984bis]. The payload format
has wide applicability in videoconferencing, Internet video
streaming, and high bit-rate entertainment-quality video, among
others.Table of Contents</t>
