I like the abbreviation MANE:

	mane (as in "hair") n. : long coarse hair growing from the crest of 
the animal's neck

(i.e., MANEs are hairy things hanging around your neck).

SCNR.

I would expect a lot of network elements on the way to be interested in 
this kind of information, so I'd like to see it further up in the 
header chain, where it is not dependent on the specific payload format 
H.264.
(Cf. UDP-lite, one reason for which is to signal the link layer that 
unequal error protection might be a good idea, which is certainly 
better than routers peeking into AMR payload header.)
Using the DSCP sounds about right, except that this is frequently 
rewritten on the way.
