Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 7380 RTCP XR TS Decodability November 2014 + + +1. Introduction + +1.1. MPEG2 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 MPEG2 Transport Streams [ISO-IEC.13818-1.2007]. The + tests and corresponding indicators are grouped according to priority: + + First priority: Necessary for decodability (basic monitoring) + + Second priority: Recommended for continuous or periodic monitoring + + Third priority: Recommended for application-dependent monitoring + + This memo defines a new block type for use with MPEG2 Transport + Streams [ISO-IEC.13818-1.2007] to augment those defined in [RFC3611]. + The new block type supports reporting of the number of occurrences of + each Program Specific Information (PSI) indicator in the first and + second priorities listed in Sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2, respectively, + of [ETSI]. The third priority indicators are not supported. The + metrics defined here supplement information from the PSI-Independent + Decodability Statistics Metrics Block [RFC6990]. + +1.2. RTCP and RTCP XR Reports + + The use of RTCP for reporting is defined in [RFC3550]. [RFC3611] + defines 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]. + +1.3. Performance Metrics Framework + + The Performance Metrics Framework [RFC6390] provides guidance on the + definition and specification of performance metrics. The RTP + Monitoring Architectures [RFC6792] provides guidelines for RTCP XR + block formats. The new report block described in this memo is in + compliance with the monitoring architecture specified in [RFC6792] + and the Performance Metrics Framework [RFC6390]. + +1.4. Applicability + + These metrics are applicable to any type of RTP application that uses + the MPEG2 TS standard format for multimedia data, for example, MPEG4 + over MPEG2 TS over RTP. This new block type can be useful for + measuring content stream or TS quality by checking TS header + information [ETSI] and identifying the existence (and characterizing + + + +Tong, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 7380 RTCP XR TS Decodability November 2014 + + + the severity) of bitstream packetization problems that may affect + users' perception of a service delivered over RTP. It may also be + useful for verifying the continued correct operation of an existing + system management tool. + +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]. + +3. MPEG2 TS PSI Decodability Statistics Metrics Block + + ETSI TR 101 290 [ETSI] generally defines indicators related to error + events whereas the XR block defined in this document contains counts + of occurrences of the [ETSI] indicators. The block defined in this + document reports MPEG2 TS PSI decodability statistics metrics beyond + the information carried in the standard RTCP packet format and PSI- + Independent Decodability Statistics Metrics Block [RFC6990], which + are measured at the receiving end of the RTP stream. It contains + counts of seven metrics defined in ETSI TR 101 290 [ETSI]. + Information is reported about basic monitoring parameters necessary + to ensure that the TS can be decoded, including: + + o Program Association Table (PAT) errors + + o PAT2 errors + + o Program Map Table (PMT) errors + + o PMT2 errors + + o Packet Identifier (PID) errors + + Information is also reported about continuous monitoring parameters + necessary to ensure continuous decoding, including: + + o Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors + + o Conditional Access Table (CAT) errors + + In these parameters, PAT2 errors and PMT2 errors are actually + replacements for and improvements on PAT errors and PMT errors, + respectively, and are therefore preferred in future implementations. + In addition, measurement results for some of these parameters (e.g., + PAT errors or PMT errors) may be different based on whether + + + +Tong, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 7380 RTCP XR TS Decodability November 2014 + + + scrambling is employed. The other parameters defined in Section 5 of + [ETSI] are ignored since they do not apply to all MPEG2 + implementations. For further detailed information on these + parameters, see [ETSI]. + + The MPEG2 TS PSI Decodability 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 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | BT=32 | Reserved | block length | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | SSRC of source | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | begin_seq | end_seq | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | PAT_error_count | PAT_error_2_count | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | PMT_error_count | PMT_error_2_count | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | PID_error_count | CRC_error_count | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | CAT_error_count | Reserved | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + block type (BT): 8 bits + + The MPEG2 TS PSI Decodability Metrics Block is identified by the + constant 32;. + + Reserved: 8 bits + + These bits are reserved.

Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 7380 RTCP XR TS Decodability November 2014 + + + CAT_error_count: 16 bits + + A count of the number of CAT errors that occurred in the above + sequence number interval. A CAT_error occurs when (1) a packet + with PID 0x0001 contains a table with a table_id other than 0x01 + (i.e., not a CAT) or (2) a packet does not contain a table with + table_id = 0x01 (i.e., a CAT) when scrambling is employed (i.e., + the Scrambling_control_field is set as a value other than 00). + See Section 5.2.2 of [ETSI]. + + The measured value is an unsigned value. If the measurement is + unavailable, then the value 0xFFFF MUST be reported. + + Reserved: 16 bits + + These bits are reserved. They MUST be set to zero by senders + ignored by receivers (see Section 4.2 of [RFC6709]). + +4. SDP Signaling + + [RFC3611] defines the use of the Session Description Protocol (SDP) + [RFC4566] for signaling the use of RTCP XR blocks. However, XR + blocks MAY be used without prior signaling (see Section 5 of + [RFC3611]). + +4.1. SDP rtcp-xr-attrib Attribute Extension + + This session augments the SDP attribute "rtcp-xr" defined in + Section 5.1 of [RFC3611] by providing an additional value of + "xr-format" to signal the use of the report block defined in this + document. The ABNF [RFC5234] syntax is as follows: + + xr-format =/ xr-tpd-block + + xr-tpd-block = "ts-psi-decodability" + +4.2. Offer/Answer Usage + + When SDP is used in Offer/Answer context, the SDP Offer/Answer usage + defined in [RFC3611] for unilateral "rtcp-xr" attribute parameters + applies. For detailed usage of Offer/Answer for unilateral + parameters, refer to Section 5.2 of [RFC3611]. + +4.3. Usage Outside of Offer/Answer + + For usage outside of Offer/Answer, refer to Section 5.3 of [RFC3611]. + + + + + +Tong, et al. Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 7380 RTCP XR TS Decodability November 2014 + + +5. 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]. + +5.1. New RTCP XR Block Type Value + + This document assigns the block type value 32 "MPEG2 Transport Stream + PSI Decodability Statistics Metrics Block" in the "RTCP XR Block + Type" subregistry of the IANA "RTP Control Protocol Extended Reports + (RTCP XR) Block Type Registry". + +5.2. New RTCP XR SDP Parameter + + This document also registers a new parameter "ts-psi-decodability" in + the "RTCP XR SDP Parameters" subregistry of the "RTP Control Protocol + Extended Reports (RTCP XR) Session Description Protocol (SDP) + Parameters Registry". + +5.3. Contact Information for Registrations + + The contact information for the registrations is: + + RAI Area Directors <rai-ads@tools.ietf.org> + +6.
