1. Introduction
Multimedia applications often suffer from packet losses in IP
networks. In order to get a reasonable degree of quality when there
is packet loss, it is necessary to have loss concealment mechanisms
at the decoder. Video loss concealment is a range of techniques to
mask the effects of packet loss in video communications.
In some applications, reporting the information of receivers applying
video loss concealment could give monitors or senders useful
information on the Quality of Experience (QoE) of the application.
One example is no-reference video quality evaluation. Video probes
located upstream from the video endpoint or terminal may not see loss
occurring between the probe and the endpoint, and also may not be
fully aware of the specific loss concealment methods being
dynamically applied by the video endpoint. Evaluating error
concealment is important in this circumstance to estimate the
subjective impact of impairments.
This document defines one new block type for video loss concealment
to augment those defined in [RFC3611] and [RFC7294] for use in a
range of RTP video applications. The metrics defined in this
document belong to the class of transport-related terminal metrics
defined in [RFC6792].
