1. Introduction
WARP Streaming Format (WARP) is a media format designed to deliver
CMAF [CMAF] compliant media content over Media Over QUIC Transport
(MOQT) [MoQTransport]. WARP works by fragmenting the bitstream into
objects that can be independently transmitted. WARP leverages a
simple prioritization strategy of assigning newer content a higher
delivery order, allowing intermediaries to drop older data, and video
over audio, in the face of congestion. Either complete Groups of
Pictures (GOPS) [ISOBMFF] or individual frames are mapped to
Law, et al. Expires 25 July 2024 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft WARP Streaming Format January 2024
MoQTransport Objects. WARP is targeted at interactive levels of live
latency.
This document describes version 1 of the streaming format.
2. Conventions and Definitions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
This document uses the conventions detailed in Section 1.3 of
[RFC9000] when describing the binary encoding.
3. Media packaging
WARP delivers CMAF-packaged media bitstreams. This specification
references [CMAFpackaging] to define how CMAF packaged bitstreams are
mapped to [MoQTransport] groups and objects.
Both CMAF Object mappings [CMAFpackaging] Section 4 are supported and
a content producer may use either. To identify to consumers which
object mapping mode is being used for a given Track, a new track
field is defined as per table 1.

3.2. Time-alignment
WARP Tracks MAY be time-aligned. Those that are, are subject to the
following requirements:
* Time-aligned tracks MUST be advertised in the catalog as belonging
to a common render group.
* The presentation time of the first media sample contained within
the first MOQT Object of each equally numbered MOQT Group MUST be
identical.
A consequence of this restriction is that a WARP receiver SHOULD be
able to cleanly switch between time-aligned media tracks at group
boundaries.
3.3. Content protection and encryption
The catalog and media object payloads MAY be encrypted. Common
Encryption [CENC] with 'cbcs' mode (AES CBC with pattern encryption)
is the RECOMMENDED encryption method.
ToDo - details of how keys are exchanged and license servers
signaled. May be best to extend catalog spec to allow the
specification of content protection schema, along with any pssh or
protection initialization data.
4. Catalog
WARP uses the Common Catalog Format {[COMMON-CATALOG-FORMAT}} to
describe the content being produced by a publisher.
Law, et al. Expires 25 July 2024 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft WARP Streaming Format January 2024
Per Sect 5.1 of [COMMON-CATALOG-FORMAT], WARP registers an entry in
the "MoQ Streaming Format Type" table. The type value is 0x001, the
name is "WARP Streaming Format" and the RFC is XXX.
Every WARP catalog MUST declare a streaming format type (See Sect
3.2.1 of [COMMON-CATALOG-FORMAT]) value of 1.
Every WARP catalog MUST declare a streaming format version (See Sect
3.2.1 of [COMMON-CATALOG-FORMAT]) corresponding to the version of
this document.
The catalog track MUST have a track name of "catalog". A catalog
object MAY be independent of other catalog objects or it MAY
represent a delta update of a prior catalog object. The first
catalog object published within a new group MUST be independent. A
catalog object SHOULD only be published only when the availability of
tracks changes.
Each catalog update MUST be mapped to a discreet moq-transport
object.
5. Media transmission
The MOQT Groups and MOQT Objects need to be mapped to moq-transport
Streams. Irrespective of the Section 3.1 in place, each MOQT Object
MUST be mapped to a new moq-transport Stream.
6. Workflow
A WARP publisher MUST publish a catalog track object before
publishing any media track objects.
At the completion of a session, a publisher MUST publish a catalog
update that removes all currently active tracks. This action SHOULD
be interpreted by receivers to mean that the publish session is
complete.
7. Security Considerations
ToDo
8. IANA Considerations
This document creates a new entry in the "MoQ Streaming Format"
Registry (see [MoQTransport] Sect 8). The type value is 0x001, the
name is "WARP Streaming Format" and the RFC is XXX.
