The IESG has received a request from the Metric Blocks for use with RTCP's Extended Report Framework WG (xrblock) to consider the following document: - 'RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Reports (XR) for Run Length Encoding (RLE) of Discarded Packets' <draft-ietf-xrblock-rtcp-xr-discard-rle-metrics-05.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-07-01. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) is used in conjunction with the Real- time Transport Protocol (RTP) in to provide a variety of short-term and long-term reception statistics. The available reporting may include aggregate information across longer periods of time as well as individual packet reporting. This document specifies a per-packet report metric capturing individual packets discarded from the jitter buffer after successful reception. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-xrblock-rtcp-xr-discard-rle-metrics/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-xrblock-rtcp-xr-discard-rle-metrics/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
