    <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 loss, duplication and discard summary statistics that are
      generically designed for use in audio and video services. <vspace
      blankLines="1" />The metrics belong to both the class of application
      layer metrics and transport layer metrics defined in <xref
      target="MONARCH"></xref> (work in progress).</t>

      <section title="Applicability">
        <t>The Report Blocks defined in this document can be applied to any
        real-time applications that convey loss, duplication and discard
        summary statistics. </t>

            coded without prediction from other pictures. The Derivation frame

          <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>
