RTP Control Protocol Extended Report Block for MPEG-2 Transport Stream Program Specific Information Independent Decodability Statistics Metrics Reporting
RFC 6990, “RTP Control Protocol Extended Report Block for MPEG-2 Transport Stream Program Specific Information Independent Decodability Statistics Metrics Reporting”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2013 by R. Huang, Q. Wu, H. Asaeda, G. Zorn. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
An MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) is a standard container format used in the transmission and storage of multimedia data. Unicast/ multicast MPEG-2 TS over RTP is widely deployed in IPTV systems. This document defines an RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Report (XR) block that allows the reporting of MPEG-2 TS decodability statistics metrics related to transmissions of MPEG-2 TS over RTP. The metrics specified in the RTCP XR block are not dependent on Program Specific Information (PSI) carried in MPEG-2 TS.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
