The IESG has approved the following document: - 'RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Report (XR) for Bytes Discarded Metric' (draft-ietf-xrblock-rtcp-xr-bytes-discarded-metric-02.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Metric Blocks for use with RTCP's Extended Report Framework Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gonzalo Camarillo and Richard Barnes. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-xrblock-rtcp-xr-bytes-discarded-metric/ Technical Summary This draft defines a new block type to augment those defined in [RFC3611] for use in a range of RTP applications. The new block type supports the report computing the bytes discarded from the de-jitter buffer after successful reception. Working Group Summary There were several points of debate within the working group; however, none were particularly rough and authors and commentators came up with the text that resolves any issues thus consensus was achieved in all cases. Document Quality This document has been reviewed by numerous people within XRBLOCK through three rounds of WGLCs (Including two that took place when it was part of RFC7097) the document resolved any outstanding issues. The document has been reviewed by SDP directorate post WGLC for SDP extensions defined, any issues raised were resolved. The document has been reviewed by PM-DIR and the existence of this document addresses the issue raised (separating this document from RFC7097). Personnel Shida Schubert is the Document Shepherd. Gonzalo Camarillo is the Responsible Area Director.
