1. Introduction

1.1. Synchronization Delay and Offset Metrics Reporting Blocks

This document defines two new block types to augment those defined in
[RFC3611], for use in a range of RTP applications.

The first new block type supports reporting of the Initial
Synchronization Delay to establish a multimedia session. Information
is recorded about the time difference between the start of RTP
sessions and the time the RTP receiver acquires all components of RTP
sessions in the multimedia session [RFC6051].

The second new block type supports reporting of the relative
synchronization offset time of two arbitrary streams (e.g., between
audio and video streams), with the same RTCP CNAME included in RTCP
Source description items (SDES) packets [RFC3550].

These metrics belong to the class of transport level transport-level 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 -- the RTCP Extended
Report (XR). This document defines a new Extended Report block for
use with [RFC3550] and [RFC3611].

1.3. Performance Metrics Framework

The

"Guidelines for Considering New Performance Metric Development"
[RFC6390] provides guidance on the definition and specification of
performance metrics. "Guidelines for Use of the RTP Monitoring Architectures
Framework" [RFC6792] provides guideline guidance for reporting block format
using RTCP XR. The new report metrics block described in this memo document is in compliance
accordance with the monitoring architecture
specified guidelines in [RFC6390] and [RFC6792].

1.4. Applicability

When joining each session in layered video sessions [RFC6190] or the
multimedia session, a receiver may not synchronize playout across the
multimedia session or layered video session until RTCP Sender Report
(SR) packets have been received on all components of RTP sessions.
The component components of RTP session sessions are referred to as each per-media-type RTP session sessions for
each media type in
the multimedia session sessions or separate per-layer RTP session sessions for
each layer in the layered
video session. sessions. For multicast session, sessions, the
initial synchronization delay Initial Synchronization
Delay metric varies with the session bandwidth, the number of
members, and the number of senders in the session. The RTP flow Flow
Initial synchronization delay block Synchronization Delay Metrics Block defined in this document
can be used to report such a metric, i.e., the initial
synchronization delay Initial
Synchronization Delay to receive all the RTP streams belonging to the
same multimedia session or layered video session. In the absence of
packet loss, the initial synchronization delay equals Initial Synchronization Delay is equal to the
average time taken to receive the first RTCP packet in the RTP
session with the longest RTCP reporting interval. In the presence of
packet loss, the media synchronization should rely on the in-band
mapping of RTP and NTP-format timestamps [RFC6051] or wait until the
reporting interval has passed, and the next RTCP SR packet is sent.

Receivers of the RTP flow initial synchronization delay block Flow Initial Synchronization Delay Metrics Block
could use this metric to compare with targets (i.e., Service Level
Agreement or thresholds of the system) to help ensure the quality of
real-time application performance.

In an RTP multimedia session, there can be an arbitrary number of
streams carried in different RTP sessions, with the same RTCP CNAME.
These streams may be not synchronized with each other. For example,
one audio stream and one video stream belong to the same session, and
the audio stream is transmitted lagging behind the video stream for
multiple tens of milliseconds [TR-126]. The RTP Flows Flow Synchronization
Offset block can be used to report such synchronization offset
between video stream and audio stream. streams. This block is also applied to the
case where an RTP session can contain media streams with media from
multiple media types. The metrics defined in the RTP flows synchronization Flow
Synchronization Offset block Metrics Block can be used by the network
manager for trouble shooting troubleshooting and dealing with user
experience user-experience issues.

2. Terminology

2.1. Standards Language

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

In addition, the following terms are defined:

Initial Synchronization Delay:

A multimedia session comprises a set of concurrent RTP sessions
among a common group of participants, using one RTP session for
each media type. The initial synchronization Initial Synchronization Delay is the average
time for the receiver to synchronize all components of a
multimedia session [RFC6051].

Synchronization Offset:

Synchronization between two media streams must be maintained to
ensure satisfactory Quality of Experience (QoE). Two media
streams can be of the same or different media type types belonging to
one RTP session session, or in of different media types belonging to one
multimedia session. The Synchronization Offset is the relative
time difference of the two media streams that need to be
synchronized.

3. RTP Flows Flow Initial Synchronization Delay Report Metrics Block

This block is sent by RTP receivers and reports the Initial
synchronization delay
Synchronization Delay beyond the information carried in the standard
RTCP packet format. Information is recorded about the time
difference between the start of the multimedia session and the time
when the RTP receiver acquires all components of RTP sessions
[RFC6051] measured at the receiving end of the RTP stream.

This block needs only to be exchanged only occasionally, for example example, sent
once at the start of the RTP session.

3.1. Metric Block Structure

The RTP Flows Flow Initial Synchronization Delay Report Metrics Block has the
following format:

0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

3.2. Definition of Fields in RTP Flow Initial Synchronization Delay
Metrics Block

Block type (BT): 8 bits

The RTP Flows Flow Initial Synchronization Delay Report Metrics Block is
identified by the constant <RFISD>.

[Note to RFC Editor: please replace RFISD with the IANA provided
RTCP XR block type for this block.] 27.

Reserved: 8 bits

This field is reserved for future definition. In the absence of
such a definition, the bits in this field MUST be set to zero and
ignored by the receiver.

Block length: 16 bits

The constant 2, in accordance with the definition of this field in
Section 3 of RFC 3611 [RFC3611].

SSRC of source: 32 bits

The SSRC of the media source SHALL be set to the value of the SSRC
identifier carried in any arbitrary component of RTP sessions
belonging to the same multimedia session.

Initial Synchronization Delay: 32 bits

The average delay, expressed in units of 1/65536 seconds, from the
beginning of the multimedia session [RFC6051] to the time when
RTCP packets are received on all of the components component RTP sessions.
It is recommended that the beginning of the multimedia session is
chosen as the time when the receiver has joined the first RTP
session of the multimedia session. The value of the initial synchronization
delay Initial
Synchronization Delay is calculated based on received RTCP SR
packets or the RTP header extension containing the in-band mapping
of RTP and NTP-format timestamps [RFC6051]. If there is no packet
loss, the initial
synchronization delay Initial Synchronization Delay is expected to be equal to
the average time taken to receive the first RTCP packet in the RTP
session with the longest RTCP reporting interval or to the average
time taken to receive the first RTP header extension containing
the in-band mapping of RTP and NTP-format timestamps.

If the measurement is unavailable, the value of this field with
all bits set to 1 MUST be reported.

4. RTP Flows Flow Synchronization Offset Metrics Block

In the RTP multimedia sessions or one RTP session, there can be an
arbitrary number of Media media streams and each media stream (e.g., audio
stream or video stream) is sent in a separate RTP stream. In case of
one RTP session, each media stream or each medium uses a different
SSRC. The receiver associates RTP correlates these media streams that need to be
synchronized by means of the RTCP CNAME contained in the RTCP Source
Description (SDES) packets [RFC3550].

This block is sent by RTP receivers and reports the synchronization
offset of two arbitrary RTP streams that needs need to be synchronized in
the RTP multimedia session. Information is recorded about the
relative average time difference between two arbitrary RTP streams
(one is
(the reporting stream, stream and the other is reference stream) with the same CNAME
and measured at the receiving end of the RTP stream. In order to
tell what the offset of the reporting stream is relative to, the
block for the reference stream with synchronization offset of zero
should be reported.

Instances of this Block block refer by Synchronization synchronization source (SSRC) to the
separate auxiliary Measurement Information block [RFC6776] [RFC6776], which
describes measurement periods in use (see [RFC6776] section 4.2). Section 4.2 of [RFC6776]).
This metrics block relies on the measurement period in the
Measurement Information block indicating the span of the report and
SHOULD be sent in the same compound RTCP packet as the measurement
information block. Measurement
Information Block. If the measurement period is not received in the
same compound RTCP packet as this Block, block, this Block block MUST be
discarded.

4.2. Definition of Fields in RTP Flow General Synchronization Offset
Metrics Block

Block type (BT): 8 bits

The RTP Flow General Synchronization Offset Report Metrics Block is
identified by the constant <RFSO>.

[Note to RFC Editor: please replace RFSO with the IANA provided
RTCP XR block type for this block.] 28.

Interval Metric Flag (I): 2 bits

This field is used to indicate whether the Burst/Gap Discard
Summary Statistics metrics are Sampled, Interval Interval, or Cumulative
metrics:

I=10: Interval Duration - the reported value applies to the
most recent measurement interval duration between
successive metrics reports.
I=11: Cumulative Duration - the reported value applies to the
accumulation period characteristic of cumulative
measurements.
I=01: Sampled Value - the reported value is a sampled
instantaneous value.

In this document, the value I=00 is the reserved value and MUST
NOT be used. If the value I=00 is received, then the XR block
MUST be ignored by the receiver.

Reserved: 6 bits

This field is reserved for future definition. In the absence of
such a definition, the bits in this field MUST be set to zero and
MUST be ignored by the receiver.

Block length: 16 bits

The constant 3, in accordance with the definition of this field in
Section 3 of RFC 3611 [RFC3611].

SSRC of Source: 32 bits

The SSRC of the media source SHALL be set to the value of the SSRC
identifier of the reporting RTP stream to which the XR relates.

Synchronization Offset: 64 bits

The synchronization offset of the reporting RTP stream relative to
the reference stream with the same CNAME. The calculation of
Synchronization Offset is similar to the Difference D calculation
in the RFC3550. RFC 3550. That is to say, if Si is the NTP timestamp from
the reporting RTP packet i, and Ri is the time of arrival in NTP
timestamp units for reporting RTP packet i, Sj is the NTP
timestamp from the reference RTP packet j, and Rj is the time of
arrival in NTP timestamp units for reference RTP packet j, then
the value of the synchronization offset Synchronization Offset D may be expressed as

D(i,j) = (Rj - Ri) - (Sj - Si) = (Rj - Sj) - (Ri - Si)

If in-band delivery of NTP-format timestamps is supported
[RFC6051], Si and Sj should be obtained directly from the RTP
packets where NTP timestamps are available. If not, Si and Sj
should be calculated from their corresponding RTP timestamps. The
value of the synchronization offset Synchronization Offset is represented using a 64-bit
signed NTP-format timestamp as defined in [RFC5905], which is 64-
bit a
64-bit signed fixed-point number with the integer part in the
first 32 bits and the fractional part in the last 32 bits. A
positive value of the synchronization offset Synchronization Offset means that the
reporting stream leads before the reference stream, while a
negative one means the reporting stream lags behind the reference
stream. The
synchronization offset Synchronization Offset of zero means the stream is
the reference stream.

If the measurement is unavailable, the value of this field with
all bits set to 1 MUST be reported.

5. SDP Signaling

[RFC3611] defines the use of SDP (Session Description Protocol)
[RFC4566] for signaling the use of XR blocks. XR blocks MAY be used
without prior signaling.

5.1. SDP rtcp-xr-attrib Attribute Extension

Two

Using the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) [RFC5234], two new
parameters are defined for the two report blocks defined in this
document to be used with Session Description Protocol (SDP)
[RFC4566] using the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) [RFC5234]. SDP [RFC4566]. They have the following
syntax within the "rtcp-xr" attribute [RFC3611]:

xr-format = =/ xr-rfisd-block
/ xr-rfso-block

xr-rfisd-block = "rtp-flow-init-syn-delay"
xr-rfso-block = "rtp-flow-syn-offset"

Refer to Section 5.1 of RFC 3611 [RFC3611] for a detailed description
and the full syntax of the "rtcp-xr" attribute.

5.2. Offer/Answer Usage

When SDP is used in offer-answer the offer/answer context, the SDP Offer/Answer
usage defined in [RFC3611] applies.

6. IANA Considerations

New report block types for RTCP XR are subject to IANA registration.
For general guidelines on IANA allocations for RTCP XR, refer to
Section 6.2 of [RFC3611].

This document assigns two new block type values in the RTCP XR Block
Type Registry:

Name: RFISD
Long Name: RTP Flows Flow Initial Synchronization Delay
Value <RFISD> 27
Reference: Section 3

Name: RFSO
Long Name: RTP Flows Flow Synchronization Offset Metrics Block
Value <RFSO> 28
Reference: Section 4
This document also registers two new SDP [RFC4566] parameters for the
"rtcp-xr" attribute in the RTCP XR SDP Parameters Registry:

* "rtp-flow-init-syn-delay "
* "rtp-flow-syn-offset"

The contact information for the registrations is:
RAI Area Directors <rai-ads@tools.ietf.org>

7. Security Considerations

When using Secure RTP [RFC3711], or other media layer media-layer security,
reporting accurate synchronisation synchronization offset information can expose some
details about the timing of the cryptographic operations that are
used to protect the media. There is a possibility that this timing
information might enable a side-channel attack on the encryption. For
environments where this attack is a concern, implementations need to
take care to ensure cryptographic processing and media compression
take the same amount of time irrespective of the media content, to
avoid the potential attack.

Besides this, it is believed that this RTCP XR block introduces no
new security considerations beyond those described in [RFC3611].
