1. Introduction
1.1. Packet Delay Metrics Block
This document defines a new block type to augment those defined in
[RFC3611] for use in a range of RTP applications. The new block type
supports the reporting of the mean, minimum, and maximum values of
the network round-trip delay between RTP interfaces in peer RTP end
systems as measured, for example, using the RTCP method described in
[RFC3550]. It also supports reporting of the component of the round-
trip delay internal to the local RTP system.
The network metrics belong to the class of transport metrics defined
in [RFC6792].
1.2. RTCP and RTCP XR Reports
The use of RTCP for reporting is defined in [RFC3550]. [RFC3611]
defined an extensible structure for reporting using an RTCP Extended
Report (XR). This document defines a new Extended Report block for
use with [RFC3550] and [RFC3611].
