The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'RTP Payload Format for ETSI ES 201 108 Distributed Speech Recognition Encoding' <draft-ietf-avt-dsr-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the Audio/Video Transport Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Scott Bradner. Technical Summary This document specifies an RTP payload format for encapsulating ETSI Standard ES 201 108 front-end signal processing feature streams for distributed speech recognition (DSR) systems. The use of RTP enables the distributed systems scenarios to be broader. The payload consists of concatenated Frame Pairs (FP) of the ETSI-defined inputs, and guidance is provided on the size and timing issues of placing the voice recognition signals in the RTP payloads. Besides defining the payload, the document specifies and registers the MIME subtype audio/dsr-es201108. Working Group Summary The Audio-Video Transport Working Group supported advancement of this specification. In addition, there has been coordination with respect to the Speech Services Control Working Group. Protocol Quality The protocol was reviewed for the IESG by Allison Mankin.
