Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) A. Begen Request for Comments: 5725 D. Hsu Category: Standards Track M. Lague ISSN: 2070-1721 Cisco February 2010 Post-Repair Loss RLE Report Block Type for RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Reports (XRs) Abstract This document defines a new report block type within the framework of RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Reports (XRs). One of the initial XR report block types is the Loss Run Length Encoding (RLE) Report Block. This report conveys information regarding the individual Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) packet receipt and loss events experienced during the RTCP interval preceding the transmission of the report. The new report, which is referred to as the Post-repair Loss RLE report, carries information regarding the packets that remain lost after all loss-repair methods are applied. By comparing the RTP packet receipts/losses before and after the loss repair is completed, one can determine the effectiveness of the loss- repair methods in an aggregated fashion. This document also defines the signaling of the Post-repair Loss RLE report in the Session Description Protocol (SDP). Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document.

Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 5725 Post-Repair Loss RLE Report Block Type February 2010 1. Introduction The RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) is the out-of-band control protocol for applications that are using the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) for media delivery and communications [RFC3550]. RTCP allows RTP entities to monitor data delivery and provides them minimal control functionality via sender and receiver reports as well as other control packets. [RFC3611] expands the RTCP functionality further by introducing the RTCP Extended Reports (XRs). One of the initial XR report block types defined in [RFC3611] is theShow full document text
