RTP/RTCP Extension for RTP Splicing Notification
Abstract
Content splicing is a process that replaces the content of a main
multimedia stream with other multimedia content and that delivers the
substitutive multimedia content to the receivers for a period of
time. The splicer is designed to handle RTP splicing and needs to
know when to start and end the splicing.
This memo defines two RTP/RTCP extensions to indicate the splicing-
related information to the splicer: an RTP header extension that
conveys the information "in band" and an RTP Control Protocol (RTCP)
packet that conveys the information out of band.

1. Introduction
Splicing is a process that replaces some multimedia content with
other multimedia content and delivers the substitutive multimedia
content to the receivers for a period of time. In some predictable
splicing cases, e.g., advertisement insertion, the splicing duration
needs to be inside of the specific pre-designated time slot. Certain
timing information about when to start and end the splicing must be
