Due to this interdependency, randomly joining RTP   receivers usually cannot start consuming the multicast data right   after they join the session.  Thus, they often experience a random   acquisition delay.  An RTP receiver can use one or more different   approaches to achieve rapid acquisition.  Yet, due to various   factors, performance of the rapid acquisition methods usually varies.   Furthermore, in some cases, the RTP receiver can do a simple   multicast join (in other cases, it is compelled to do so).  For   quality reporting, monitoring, and diagnostic purposes, it is   important to collect detailed information from the RTP receivers   about their acquisition and presentation experiences.  This document   addresses this issue by defining a new report block type, called the   Multicast Acquisition (MA) report block, within the framework of RTP   Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Reports (XRs) (RFC 3611).  This   document also defines the necessary signaling of the new MA report   block type in the Session Description Protocol (SDP).Status of This Memo   This is an Internet Standards Track document.

RFC 6332            MA Report Block Type for RTCP XR           July 20111.  Introduction   The RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) is the out-of-band control protocol   for applications that use the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) for   media transport [RFC3550].  In addition to providing minimal control   functionality to RTP entities, RTCP also enables a basic-level   monitoring of RTP sessions via sender and receiver reports.  More   statistically detailed monitoring as well as application-specific   monitoring are usually achieved through the RTCP Extended Reports   (XRs) [RFC3611].   In most RTP-based multicast applications such as the ones carrying   video content, the RTP source sends inter-related data.   Consequently, the RTP application may not be able to decode and   present the data in an RTP packet before decoding the data in one or   more earlier RTP packets and/or before acquiring some Reference   Information about the content itself.  Thus, RTP receivers that are   randomly joining a multicast session often experience a random   acquisition delay.  In order to reduce this delay, [RFC6285] proposes   an approach where an auxiliary unicast RTP session is established   between a retransmission server and the joining RTP receiver.  Over   this unicast RTP session, the retransmission server provides the   Reference Information, which is all the information the RTP receiver   needs to rapidly acquire the multicast stream.  This method is   referred to as the Rapid Acquisition of Multicast RTP Sessions   (RAMS).  However, depending on the variability in the Source   Filtering Group Management Protocol (SFGMP) processing times, the   availability of network resources for rapid acquisition, and the   nature of the RTP data, not all RTP receivers can acquire the   multicast stream in the same amount of time.  The performance of   rapid acquisition may vary not only for different RTP receivers but   also over time.   To increase the visibility of the multicast service provider in its   network, to diagnose slow multicast acquisition issues, and to   collect the acquisition experiences of the RTP receivers, this   document defines a new report block type, which is called the   Multicast Acquisition (MA) report block, within the framework of RTCP   XR.  RTP receivers that use the method described in [RFC6285] may use   this report every time they join a new multicast RTP session.  RTP   receivers that use a different method for rapid acquisition or those   that do not use any method but rather do a simple multicast join may   also use this report.  This way, the multicast service provider can   quantitatively compare the improvements achieved by different   methods.Begen & Friedrich            Standards Track                    [Page 3]

RFC 6332            MA Report Block Type for RTCP XR           July 20112.  Requirements Notation   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in   [RFC2119].3.  Definitions   This document uses the acronyms and definitions fromSection 3 of   [RFC6285].4.  Multicast Acquisition (MA) Report Block   This section defines the format of the MA report block.  The base   report is payload independent.  An extension mechanism is provided   where further optional payload-independent and payload-specific   information can be included in the report as desired.   The OPTIONAL extensions that are defined in this document are   primarily developed for the method presented in [RFC6285].  Other   methods that provide rapid acquisition can define their own   extensions to be used in the MA report block.   The packet format for the RTCP XR is defined inSection 2 of   [RFC3611].  Each XR packet has a fixed-length field for version,   padding, reserved bits, payload type (PT), length, synchronization   source (SSRC) of packet sender as well as a variable-length field for   report blocks.  In the XR packets, the PT field is set to XR (207).   It is better to send the MA report block after all the necessary   information is collected and computed.  Partial reporting is   generally not useful as it cannot give the full picture of the   multicast acquisition, and it causes additional complexity in terms   of report block matching and correlation.  The MA report block is   only sent as a part of an RTCP compound packet, and it is sent in the   primary multicast session.   The need for reliability of the MA report block is not any greater   than other report blocks or types.  If desired, the report block   could be repeated for redundancy purposes while respecting the RTCP   scheduling algorithms.   Following the rules specified in [RFC3550], all integer fields in the   base report and extensions defined below are carried in network-byte   order, that is, most significant byte (octet) first, also known as   big-endian.  Unless otherwise stated, numeric constants are in   decimal (base 10).Begen & Friedrich            Standards Track                    [Page 4]

The MA report block is identified by the constant 11.   o  MA Method (8 bits): Field that denotes the type of the MA method      (e.g., simple join, RAMS, etc.).  SeeSection 7.3 for the values      registered with IANA.   o  Block Length (16 bits): The length of this report block, including      the header, in 32-bit words minus one.   o  SSRC of the Primary Multicast Stream (32 bits): Field that denotes      the SSRC of the primary multicast stream.   o  Status (16 bits): Field that denotes the status code for the MA      operation.      This document defines several status codes and registers them with      IANA inSection 7.5.  If a new vendor-neutral status code will be      defined, it MUST be registered with IANA according to the      guidelines specified inSection 7.5.  If the new status code is      intended to be used privately by a vendor, there is no need for      IANA management.Section 4.2.2 defines how a vendor defines and      uses private extensions to convey its messages.      To indicate use of a private extension, the RTP receiver MUST set      the Status field to zero.  A private extension MUST NOT be used in      an XR unless the RTP receiver knows from out-of-band methods that      the entity that will receive and process the XR understands the      private extension.   o  Rsvd. (16 bits): The RTP receiver MUST set this field to zero.      The recipient MUST ignore this field when received.Begen & Friedrich            Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 6332            MA Report Block Type for RTCP XR           July 2011   If the multicast join was successful, meaning that at least one   multicast packet was received, some additional information MUST be   appended to the base report as described inSection 4.2.1.4.1.1.  Status Code Rules for New MA Methods   Different MA methods usually use different status codes, although   some status codes (e.g., a code indicating that multicast join has   failed) can be common among multiple MA methods.  The status code   reported in the base report MUST always be within the scope of the   particular MA method specified in the MA Method field.   In certain MA methods, the RTP receiver can generate a status code   for its multicast acquisition attempt or can be told by another   network element or RTP endpoint what the current status is via a   response code.  In such cases, the RTP receiver MAY report the value   of the received response code as its status code if the response code   has a higher priority.  Each MA method needs to outline the rules   pertaining to its response and status codes so that RTP receiver   implementations can determine what to report in any given scenario.4.1.2.  Status Code Rules for the RAMS Method   In this section, we provide the status code rules for the RAMS method   described in [RFC6285].Section 11.6 of [RFC6285] defines several response codes.  The 1xx-   and 2xx-level response codes are informational and success response   codes, respectively.  If the RTP receiver receives a 1xx- or 2xx-   level response code, then the RTP receiver MUST use one of the 1xxx-   level status codes defined inSection 7.5 of this document.  If the   RTP receiver receives a 4xx- or 5xx-level response code (indicating   receiver-side and server-side errors, respectively), then the RTP   receiver MUST use the response code as its status code.  In other   words, the 4xx- and 5xx-level response codes have a higher priority   than the 1xxx-level status codes.4.2.  Extensions   To improve the reporting scope, it might be desirable to define new   fields in the MA report block.  Such fields are to be encoded as TLV   elements as described below and sketched in Figure 2:   o  Type: A single-octet identifier that defines the type of the      parameter represented in this TLV element.Begen & Friedrich            Standards Track                    [Page 6]

Note that this length does not      include any padding that is needed for alignment.   o  Value: Variable-size set of octets that contains the specific      value for the parameter.   In the extensions, the Reserved field MUST be set to zero and ignored   on reception.  If a TLV element does not fall on a 32-bit boundary,   the last word MUST be padded to the boundary using further bits set   to zero.   In the MA report block, the RTP receiver MUST place any vendor-   neutral or private extension after the base report.      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     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+     |     Type      |   Reserved    |            Length             |     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+     :                             Value                             :     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+                   Figure 2: Structure of a TLV Element4.2.1.  Vendor-Neutral Extensions   If the goal in defining new TLV elements is to extend the report   block in a vendor-neutral manner, they need to be registered with   IANA according to the guidelines provided inSection 7.4.   This document defines several vendor-neutral extensions.  First, we   present the TLV elements that can be used by any RTP-based multicast   application.   o  RTP Seqnum of the First Multicast Packet (16 bits): TLV element      that specifies the RTP sequence number of the first multicast      packet received for the primary multicast stream.  If the      multicast join was successful, this element MUST be included.  If      no multicast packet has been received, this element MUST NOT exist      in the report block.      Type: 1   o  SFGMP Join Time (32 bits): TLV element that denotes the greater of      zero or the time difference (in ms) between the instant the SFGMP      Join message was sent and the instant the first packet wasBegen & Friedrich            Standards Track                    [Page 7]

If no multicast packet      has been received, this element MUST NOT exist in the report      block.      Type: 2   o  Application Request-to-Multicast Delta Time (32 bits): OPTIONAL      TLV element that denotes the time difference (in ms) between the      instant the application became aware it would join a new multicast      session and the instant the first RTP packet was received from the      primary multicast stream.  If no such packet has been received,      this element MUST NOT exist in the report block.      Type: 3   o  Application Request-to-Presentation Delta Time (32 bits): OPTIONAL      TLV element that denotes the time difference (in ms) between the      instant the application became aware it would join a new multicast      session and the instant the media was first presented.  If the RTP      receiver cannot successfully present the media, this element MUST      NOT exist in the report block.      Type: 4   We next present the TLV elements that can be used when the RTP   receiver supports and uses the RAMS method described in [RFC6285].   However, if the RTP receiver does not send a rapid acquisition   request, the following TLV elements MUST NOT exist in the MA report   block.  Some elements may or may not exist depending on whether or   not the RTP receiver receives any packet from the unicast burst   and/or the primary multicast stream.  These are explained below.   o  Application Request-to-RAMS Request Delta Time (32 bits): OPTIONAL      TLV element that denotes the time difference (in ms) between the      instant the application became aware it would request a rapid      acquisition and the instant the rapid acquisition request was      actually sent by the application.

If no burst packet has been received      in the unicast session, the value of this element MUST be set to      zero.      Type: 16   o  Size of Burst-to-Multicast Gap (32 bits): OPTIONAL TLV element      that denotes the greater of zero or the difference between the      sequence number of the first multicast packet (received from the      primary multicast stream) and the sequence number of the last      burst packet minus 1 (considering the wrapping of the sequenceBegen & Friedrich            Standards Track                    [Page 9]

If no burst packet has been received in the unicast      session or no RTP packet has been received from the primary      multicast stream, this element MUST NOT exist in the report block.      Type: 174.2.2.  Private Extensions   It is desirable to allow vendors to use private extensions in TLV   format.  The range of [128-254] of TLV Types is reserved for private   extensions.  IANA management for these extensions is unnecessary;   they are the responsibility of individual vendors.   Implementations use the structure depicted in Figure 3 for private   extensions.  Here, the private enterprise numbers are used fromhttp://www.iana.org.  This will ensure the uniqueness of the private   extensions and avoid any collision.      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     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+     |      Type     |   Reserved    |            Length             |     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+     |                       Enterprise Number                       |     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+     :                             Value                             :     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+                Figure 3: Structure of a Private Extension5.

RFC 6332            MA Report Block Type for RTCP XR           July 20116.  Security Considerations   The security considerations of [RFC3611] apply in this document as   well.   The information contained in MA reports could be stolen as with any   other RTCP reports if proper protection mechanism(s) are not in   place.  If desired, similar to other RTCP XRs, the MA reports MAY be   protected by using Secure RTP (SRTP) and Secure RTP Control Protocol   (SRTCP) [RFC3711].   Malicious sniffing or otherwise obtaining MA report blocks can reveal   performance characteristics of the RTP service and underlying   network.  This information is mostly available to an observer with   the ability to capture RTP and RTCP session traffic.  The contents   and value of any private extension need to be studied when   considering the necessity to secure the MA reports since application-   level performance data might be present that is not otherwise   available to an attacker, as with the required fields and vendor-   neutral extensions.   Using the MA reports to provide feedback into the acquisition of the   multicast streams can introduce possible additional security   implications.  If a forged or otherwise modified MA report is   received for an earlier acquisition attempt, invalid data can be used   as input in later rapid acquisition attempts.  For example,   incorrectly small SFGMP join times could cause the unicast burst to   be too short, leading to gaps in sequence numbers in the approach   discussed in [RFC6285].  Additionally, forged reports could give the   appearance that rapid acquisition is performing correctly when it is   in fact failing, or vice versa.  While integrity protection can be   achieved in different ways, we RECOMMEND the use of SRTCP [RFC3711].7.

The Type   values between (and including) 128 and 254 are reserved for private   extensions.   Any registration for an unassigned Type value needs to contain the   following information:   o  Contact information of the one doing the registration, including      at least name, address, and email.   o  A detailed description of what the new TLV element represents and      how it is interpreted.7.5.  Multicast Acquisition Status Code Space Registry   A new IANA TLV space registry for the status codes has been created.   The registry is called the "Multicast Acquisition Status Code Space   Registry".  This registry is to be managed by the IANA according to   the Specification Required policy of [RFC5226].   The length of the Status field is two octets, allowing 65536 codes.   However, the status codes have been registered to allow for an easier   classification.  For example, the values between (and including) 1   and 1000 are primarily used by the MA method of simple join.  The   values between (and including) 1001 and 2000 are used by the MA   method described in [RFC6285].  When registering new status codes for   the existing MA methods or newly defined MA methods, registrants areBegen & Friedrich            Standards Track                   [Page 13]

RFC 6332            MA Report Block Type for RTCP XR           July 2011   encouraged to allocate sufficient continuous space.  Note that   because of the limited space, not every MA method can be assigned   1000 different values for its status codes.   The status code 65535 is reserved for future use.
