RTP/RTCP Extension for RTP Splicing Notification

Overview

RFC 8286, “RTP/RTCP Extension for RTP Splicing Notification”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2017 by J. Xia, R. Even, R. Huang, L. Deng. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Content splicing is a process that replaces the content of a main multimedia stream with other multimedia content and that delivers the substitutive multimedia content to the receivers for a period of time. The splicer is designed to handle RTP splicing and needs to know when to start and end the splicing.

This memo defines two RTP/RTCP extensions to indicate the splicing-related information to the splicer: an RTP header extension that conveys the information "in band" and an RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) packet that conveys the information out of band.
