   RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Report (XR) Block for MPEG-2
  Transport Stream (TS) Program Specific Information (PSI) Independent
               Decodability Statistics Metrics Reporting

Abstract

   An MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) is a standard container format used
   in the transmission and storage of multimedia data.  Unicast/
   multicast MPEG-2 TS over RTP is widely deployed in IPTV systems.
   This document defines an RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Report
   (XR) block that allows the reporting of MPEG-2 TS decodability
   statistics metrics related to transmissions of MPEG-2 TS over RTP.
   The metrics specified in the RTCP XR block are not dependent on
   Program Specific Information (PSI) carried in MPEG-2 TS.

1.  Introduction

1.1.  MPEG-2 Transport Stream Decodability Metrics

   The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has
   defined a set of syntax and information consistency tests and
   corresponding indicators [ETSI] that are recommended for the
   monitoring of MPEG-2 Transport Streams [ISO-IEC.13818-1.2013].  The
   tests and corresponding indicators are grouped according to priority:
