+ RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Report (XR) Block for MPEG2
+ Transport Stream (TS) Program Specific Information (PSI) Decodability
+ Statistics Metrics Reporting
+
+Abstract
+
+ An MPEG2 Transport Stream (TS) is a standard container format used in
+ the transmission and storage of multimedia data. Unicast/multicast
+ MPEG2 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 MPEG2 TS decodability statistics metrics
+ related to transmissions of MPEG2 TS over RTP. The metrics specified
+ in the RTCP XR block are related to Program Specific Information
+ (PSI) carried in MPEG TS.

+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

+
+ 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. They MUST be set to zero by senders
+ ignored by receivers (see Section 4.2 of [RFC6709]).
+
+ block length: 16 bits
+
+ The constant 6, in accordance with the definition of this field in
+ Section 3 of [RFC3611]. The block MUST be discarded if the block
+ length is set to a different value.
+
+ Synchronization Source (SSRC) of source: 32 bits
+
+ As defined in Section 4.1 of [RFC3611].
+
+ begin_seq: 16 bits
+
+ As defined in Section 4.1 of [RFC3611].
+
+
+
+Tong, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 7380 RTCP XR TS Decodability November 2014
+
+
+ end_seq: 16 bits
+
+ As defined in Section 4.1 of [RFC3611].
+
+ PAT_error_count: 16 bits
+
+ A count of the number of PAT errors that occurred in the above
+ sequence number interval. The Program Association Table (PAT) is
+ the only packet with Packet Identifier (PID) 0x0000. A PAT error
+ occurs when (1) a packet with PID 0x0000 does not occur at least
+ every 0.5 seconds, (2) a packet with PID 0x0000 does not contain
+ table_id 0x00 (i.e., a PAT), or (3) the Scrambling_control_field
+ in the TS packet header is not 00 for a packet with PID 0x0000.
+ See Section 5.2.1 of [ETSI]. Every program within the MPEG TS
+ stream is listed in the PAT; if it is missing, then no programs
+ can be decoded.
+
+ The measured value is an unsigned value. If the measurement is
+ unavailable, then the value 0xFFFF MUST be reported. NOTE 1 of
+ the table in Section 5.2.1 of [ETSI] recommends using
+ PAT_error_2_count. Upon reception, if PAT_error_2_count is
+ available (that is, other than 0xFFFF), then receivers MUST ignore
+ PAT_error_count.
+
+ PAT_error_2_count: 16 bits
+
+ A count of the number of PAT2 errors that occurred in the above
+ sequence number interval. A PAT2 error occurs when (1) a packet
+ with PID 0x0000 containing table_id 0x00 does not occur at least
+ every 0.5 seconds, (2) a packet with PID 0x0000 contains a table
+ with a table_id other than 0x00, or (3) the
+ Scrambling_control_field in the TS packet header is not 00 for a
+ packet with PID 0x0000. See Section 5.2.1 of [ETSI].
+
+ The measured value is an unsigned value. If the measurement is
+ unavailable, then the value 0xFFFF MUST be reported.
+
+ PMT_error_count: 16 bits
+
+ A count of the number of PMT errors that occurred in the above
+ sequence number interval. A PMT_error occurs when (1) a packet
+ containing a table with table_id 0x02 (i.e., a PMT) does not occur
+ at least every 0.5 seconds on the PID that is referred to in the
+ PAT or (2) the Scrambling_control_field in the TS packet header is
+ not 00 for all packets with PID containing a table with table_id
+ 0x02 (i.e., a PMT). See Section 5.2.1 of [ETSI].

+
+
+ The measured value is an unsigned value. If the measurement is
+ unavailable, the value 0xFFFF MUST be reported. NOTE 2 of the
+ table in Section 5.2.1 of [ETSI] recommends using
+ PMT_error_2_count. Upon reception, if PMT_error_2_count is
+ available (that is, other than 0xFFFF), then receivers MUST ignore
+ PMT_error_count.
+
+ PMT_error_2_count: 16 bits
+
+ A count of the number of PMT2 errors that occurred in the above
+ sequence number interval. A PMT2_error occurs when (1) a packet
+ containing table_id 0x02 (i.e., a PMT) does not occur at least
+ every 0.5 seconds on each program_map_PID that is referred to in
+ the PAT or (2) the Scrambling_control_field in the TS packet
+ header is not 00 for all packets containing a table with table_id
+ 0x02 (i.e., a PMT) on each program_map_PID that is referred to in
+ the PAT. See Section 5.2.1 of [ETSI].
+
+ The measured value is an unsigned value. If the measurement is
+ unavailable, then the value 0xFFFF MUST be reported.
+
+ PID_error_count: 16 bits
+
+ A count of the number of PID errors that occurred in the above
+ sequence number interval. A PID error occurs when no data stream
+ is present corresponding to a given PID. This may be caused by
+ multiplexing or demultiplexing, then remultiplexing. See
+ Section 5.2.1 of [ETSI].
+
+ The measured value is an unsigned value. If the measurement is
+ unavailable, then the value 0xFFFF MUST be reported.
+
+ CRC_error_count: 16 bits
+
+ A count of the number of CRC errors that occurred in the above
+ sequence number interval. A CRC_error occurs if data corruption
+ occurred in any of the following tables -- CAT, PAT, PMT, Network
+ Information Table (NIT), Event Information Table (EIT), Bouquet
+ Association Table (BAT), Service Description Table (SDT), or Time
+ Offset Table (TOT), as defined in 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.

+Tong, et al. 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].

+
+
+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. Security Considerations
+
+ This proposed RTCP XR block introduces no new security considerations
+ beyond those described in [RFC3611] and [RFC6990].
