Introduction 88 1.1. Synchronization Delay and Offset Metrics Reporting Blocks 90 This document defines two new block types to augment those defined in 91 [RFC3611], for use in a range of RTP applications. 93 The first new block type supports reporting of Initial 94 Synchronization Delay to establish multimedia session. Information 95 is recorded about time difference between the start of RTP sessions 96 and the time the RTP receiver acquires all components of RTP sessions 97 in the multimedia session [RFC6051]. 99 The second new block type supports reporting of the relative 100 synchronization offset time of two arbitrary streams (e.g., between 101 audio and video streams), with the same RTCP CNAME included in RTCP 102 SDES packets [RFC3550]. 104 These metrics belong to the class of transport level metrics defined 105 in [RFC6792]. 107 1.2. RTCP and RTCP XR Reports 109 The use of RTCP for reporting is defined in [RFC3550]. [RFC3611] 110 defined an extensible structure for reporting using an RTCP Extended 111 Report (XR). This document defines a new Extended Report block for 112 use with [RFC3550] and [RFC3611]. 114 1.3. Performance Metrics Framework 116 The RTP Monitoring Architectures [RFC6792] provides guideline for 117 reporting block format using RTCP XR. The new report block described 118 in this memo is in compliance with the monitoring architecture 119 specified in [RFC6792]. 121 1.4. Applicability 123 When joining each session in layered video sessions [RFC6190] or the 124 multimedia session, a receiver may not synchronize playout across the 125 multimedia session or layered video session until RTCP SR packets 126 have been received on all components of RTP sessions. The component 127 RTP session are referred to as each RTP session for each media type 128 in multimedia session or separate RTP session for each layer in the 129 layered video session. For multicast session, the initial 130 synchronization delay metric varies with the session bandwidth, the 131 number of members, and the number of senders in the session. The RTP 132 flow Initial synchronization delay block defined in this document can 133 be used to report such metric, i.e., the initial synchronization 134 delay to receive all the RTP streams belonging to the same multimedia 135 session or layered video session. In the absence of packet loss, the 136 initial synchronization delay equals to the average time taken to 137 receive the first RTCP packet in the RTP session with the longest 138 RTCP reporting interval. In the presence of packet loss, the media 139 synchronization should rely on the in-band mapping of RTP and NTP- 140 format timestamps [RFC6051] or wait until the reporting interval has 141 passed, and the next RTCP SR packet is sent. 143 Receivers of the RTP flow initial synchronization delay block could 144 use this metric to compare with targets (i.e., Service Level 145 Agreement or thresholds of the system) to help ensure the quality of 146 real-time application performance. 148 In an RTP multimedia session, there can be an arbitrary number of 149 streams carried in different RTP sessions, with the same RTCP CNAME. 150 These streams may be not synchronized with each other. For example, 151 one audio stream and one video stream belong to the same session, and 152 the audio stream is transmitted lagging behind video stream for 153 multiple tens of milliseconds [TR-126]. The RTP Flows 154 Synchronization Offset block can be used to report such 155 synchronization offset between video stream and audio stream. This 156 block is also applied to the case where an RTP session can contain 157 media streams with media from multiple media types. The metrics 158 defined in the RTP flows synchronization Offset block can be used by 159 network manager for trouble shooting and dealing with user experience 160 issues. 162 2. Terminology 164 2.1. Standards Language 166 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", 167 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this 168 document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 170 In addition, the following terms are defined: 172 Initial Synchronization Delay: 174 A multimedia session comprises a set of concurrent RTP sessions 175 among a common group of participants, using one RTP session for 176 each media type. The initial synchronization Delay is the average 177 time for receiver to synchronize all components of a multimedia 178 session [RFC6051]. 180 Synchronization Offset: 182 Synchronization between two media streams must be maintained to 183 ensure satisfactory QoE. Two media streams can be of the same or 184 different media type belonging to one RTP session or in different 185 media types belonging to one multimedia session. The 186 Synchronization Offset is the relative time difference of the two 187 media streams that need to be synchronized. 189 3. RTP Flows Initial Synchronization Delay Report Block 191 This block is sent by RTP receivers and reports Initial 192 synchronization delay beyond the information carried in the standard 193 RTCP packet format. Information is recorded about time difference 194 between the start of multimedia session and the time when the RTP 195 receiver acquires all components of RTP sessions [RFC6051] measured 196 at the receiving end of RTP stream. 198 This block needs only be exchanged occasionally, for example sent 199 once at the start of RTP session. 201 3.1. Metric Block Structure 203 The RTP Flows Initial Synchronization Delay Report Block has the 204 following format: 206 0 1 2 3 207 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 208 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 209 | BT=RFISD | Reserved | Block length=2 | 210 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 211 | SSRC of Source | 212 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 213 | Initial Synchronization Delay | 214 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 216 3.2. Definition of Fields in RTP Flow Initial Synchronization Delay 217 Metrics Block 219 Block type (BT): 8 bits 221 The RTP Flows Initial Synchronization Delay Report Block is 222 identified by the constant . 224 [Note to RFC Editor: please replace RFISD with the IANA provided 225 RTCP XR block type for this block.] 227 Reserved: 8 bits 228 This field is reserved for future definition. In the absence of 229 such a definition, the bits in this field MUST be set to zero and 230 ignored by the receiver. 232 Block length: 16 bits 234 The constant 2, in accordance with the definition of this field in 235 Section 3 of RFC 3611 [RFC3611]. 237 SSRC of source: 32 bits 239 The SSRC of the media source SHALL be set to the value of the SSRC 240 identifier carried in any arbitrary component of RTP sessions 241 belonging to the same multimedia session. 243 Initial Synchronization Delay: 32 bits 245 The average delay, expressed in units of 1/65536 seconds, from the 246 beginning of multimedia session [RFC6051] to the time when RTCP 247 packets are received on all of the components RTP sessions. It is 248 recommended that the beginning of multimedia session is chosen as 249 the time when the receiver has joined the first RTP session of the 250 multimedia session. The value of the initial synchronization 251 delay is calculated based on received RTCP SR packets or the RTP 252 header extension containing in-band mapping of RTP and NTP-format 253 timestamps [RFC6051]. If there is no packet loss, the initial 254 synchronization delay is expected to be equal to the average time 255 taken to receive the first RTCP packet in the RTP session with the 256 longest RTCP reporting interval or the average time taken to 257 receive the first RTP header extension containing in-band mapping 258 of RTP and NTP-format timestamps. 260 If the measurement is unavailable, the value of this field with 261 all bits set to 1 MUST be reported. 263 4. RTP Flows Synchronization Offset Metrics Block 265 In the RTP multimedia sessions or one RTP session, there can be an 266 arbitrary number of Media streams and each media stream (e.g., audio 267 stream or video stream) is sent in a separate RTP stream. In case of 268 one RTP session, each media stream or each medium uses different 269 SSRC. The receiver associates RTP streams to be synchronized by 270 means of RTCP CNAME contained in the RTCP Source Description (SDES) 271 packets [RFC3550]. 273 This block is sent by RTP receivers and reports synchronization 274 offset of two arbitrary RTP streams that needs to be synchronized in 275 the RTP multimedia session. Information is recorded about the 276 relative average time difference between two arbitrary RTP streams 277 (one is reporting stream, the other is reference stream) with the 278 same CNAME and measured at the receiving end of RTP stream. In order 279 to tell what the offset of reporting stream is relative to, the block 280 for reference stream with synchronization offset of zero should be 281 reported. 283 Instances of this Block refer by Synchronization source (SSRC) to the 284 separate auxiliary Measurement Information block [RFC6776] which 285 describes measurement periods in use (see [RFC6776] section 4.2). 286 This metrics block relies on the measurement period in the 287 Measurement Information block indicating the span of the report and 288 SHOULD be sent in the same compound RTCP packet as the measurement 289 information block. If the measurement period is not received in the 290 same compound RTCP packet as this Block, this Block MUST be 291 discarded. 293 4.1. Metric Block Structure 295 The RTP Flow General Synchronization Offset Report Block has the 296 following format: 298 0 1 2 3 299 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 300 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 301 | BT=RFSO | I | Reserved | Block length=3 | 302 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 303 | SSRC of source | 304 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 305 | Synchronization Offset, most significant word | 306 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 307 | Synchronization Offset, least significant word | 308 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 310 4.2. Definition of Fields in RTP Flow General Synchronization Offset 311 Metrics Block 313 Block type (BT): 8 bits 315 The RTP Flow General Synchronization Offset Report Block is 316 identified by the constant . 318 [Note to RFC Editor: please replace RFSO with the IANA provided 319 RTCP XR block type for this block.] 321 Interval Metric Flag (I): 2 bits 322 This field is used to indicate whether the Burst/Gap Discard 323 Summary Statistics metrics are Sampled, Interval or Cumulative 324 metrics: 326 I=10: Interval Duration - the reported value applies to the 327 most recent measurement interval duration between successive 328 metrics reports. 329 I=11: Cumulative Duration - the reported value applies to 330 the accumulation period characteristic of cumulative 331 measurements. 332 I=01: Sampled Value - the reported value is a sampled 333 instantaneous value. 335 In this document, the value I=00 is the reserved value and MUST 336 NOT be used. 338 Reserved: 6 bits 340 This field is reserved for future definition. In the absence of 341 such a definition, the bits in this field MUST be set to zero and 342 MUST be ignored by the receiver. 344 Block length: 16 bits 346 The constant 3, in accordance with the definition of this field in 347 Section 3 of RFC 3611 [RFC3611]. 349 SSRC of Source: 32 bits 351 The SSRC of the media source SHALL be set to the value of the SSRC 352 identifier of the reporting RTP stream to which the XR relates. 354 Synchronization Offset: 64 bits 356 The synchronization offset of the reporting RTP stream relative to 357 the reference stream with the same CNAME. The calculation of 358 Synchronization Offset is similar to Difference D calculation in 359 the RFC3550. That is to say, if Si is the NTP timestamp from the 360 reporting RTP packet i, and Ri is the time of arrival in NTP 361 timestamp units for reporting RTP packet i, Sj is the NTP 362 timestamp from the reference RTP packet j, and Rj is the time of 363 arrival in NTP timestamp units for reference RTP packet j, then 364 the value of the synchronization offset D may be expressed as 365 D(i,j) = (Rj - Ri) - (Sj - Si) = (Rj - Sj) - (Ri - Si) 367 If in-band delivery of NTP-format timestamps is supported 368 [RFC6051], Si and Sj should be obtained directly from the RTP 369 packets where NTP timestamps are available. If not, Si and Sj 370 should be calculated from their corresponding RTP timestamps. The 371 value of the synchronization offset is represented using a 64-bit 372 signed NTP-format timestamp as defined in [RFC5905], which is 373 64-bit signed fixed-point number with the integer part in the 374 first 32 bits and the fractional part in the last 32 bits. A 375 positive value of the synchronization offset means that the 376 reporting stream leads before the reference stream, while a 377 negative one means the reporting stream lags behind the reference 378 stream. The synchronization offset of zero means the stream is 379 the reference stream. 381 If the measurement is unavailable, the value of this field with 382 all bits set to 1 MUST be reported. 384 5. SDP Signaling 386 [RFC3611] defines the use of SDP (Session Description Protocol) 387 [RFC4566] for signaling the use of XR blocks. XR blocks MAY be used 388 without prior signaling. 390 5.1. SDP rtcp-xr-attrib Attribute Extension 392 Two new parameters are defined for the two report blocks defined in 393 this document to be used with Session Description Protocol (SDP) 394 [RFC4566] using the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) [RFC5234]. 395 They have the following syntax within the "rtcp-xr" attribute 396 [RFC3611]: 398 xr-format = xr-rfisd-block 399 / xr-rfso-block 401 xr-rfisd-block = "rtp-flow-init-syn-delay" 402 xr-rfso-block = "rtp-flow-syn-offset" 404 Refer to Section 5.1 of RFC 3611 [RFC3611] for a detailed description 405 and the full syntax of the "rtcp-xr" attribute. 407 5.2. Offer/Answer Usage 409 When SDP is used in offer-answer context, the SDP Offer/Answer usage 410 defined in [RFC3611] applies. 412 6. IANA Considerations 414 New report block types for RTCP XR are subject to IANA registration. 415 For general guidelines on IANA allocations for RTCP XR, refer to 416 Section 6.2 of [RFC3611]. 418 This document assigns two new block type values in the RTCP XR Block 419 Type Registry: 421 Name: RFISD 422 Long Name: RTP Flows Initial Synchronization Delay 423 Value 424 Reference: Section 3 426 Name: RFSO 427 Long Name: RTP Flows Synchronization Offset Metrics Block 428 Value 429 Reference: Section 4 431 This document also registers two new SDP [RFC4566] parameters for the 432 "rtcp-xr" attribute in the RTCP XR SDP Parameters Registry: 434 * "rtp-flow-init-syn-delay " 435 * "rtp-flow-syn-offset" 437 The contact information for the registrations is: 439 Qin Wu 440 sunseawq@huawei.com 441 101 Software Avenue, Yuhua District 442 Nanjing, Jiangsu 210012, China 444 7.
