      <abstract>
	 <t>   Fragmented MP4 (fMP4) is widely used for live streaming, but the ISO
   Base Media File Format (ISOBMFF) box structure imposes significant
   per-fragment overhead.  Each box header requires 8 bytes (4-byte size
   + 4-byte type), and payload fields use fixed-width integers (u32/
   u64).  For low-latency streaming with single-frame fragments, this
   overhead can exceed the media payload itself.

   This document defines a compression scheme for ISO BMFF that replaces
   box headers with compact varint-encoded identifiers and sizes, and
   defines compressed variants of commonly used boxes with varint
   payload fields.  The scheme reduces per-fragment overhead from ~100
   bytes to ~20 bytes while preserving the full box hierarchy.
