RFC 6682 RTP Payload Format for Raptor August 2012
1. Introduction
The FEC Framework [RFC6363] defines a general framework for the use
of Forward Error Correction in association with arbitrary packet
flows, including flows over UDP and RTP [RFC3550]. Forward Error
Correction operates by generating redundant data packets ("repair
data") that can be sent independently from the original flow. At a
receiver, the original flow can be reconstructed provided a
sufficient set of redundant data packets and possibly original data
packets are received.
The FEC Framework provides for independence between application
protocols and FEC codes. The use of a particular FEC code within the
framework is defined by means of a FEC Scheme, which may then be used
with any application protocol compliant to the framework.
Repair data flows may be sent directly over a transport protocol,
such as UDP, or they may be encapsulated within specialized
transports for multimedia, such as RTP.
This document defines the RTP payload format for the Raptor FEC
Schemes defined in [RFC6681].
2. Conventions, Definitions, and Acronyms
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 [RFC2119].
3. Media Format Background
The Raptor and RaptorQ codes are efficient block-based fountain
codes, meaning that from any group of source packets (or 'source
block'), one can generate an arbitrary number of repair packets. The
Raptor and RaptorQ codes have the property that the original group of
source symbols can be recovered with a very high probability from any
set of symbols (source and repair) only slightly greater in number
than the original number of source symbols. The RaptorQ code
additionally has the property that the probability that the original
group of source symbols can be recovered from a set of symbols
(source and repair) equal in number to the original number of source
symbols is in many cases also very high.
[RFC6681] defines six FEC Schemes for the use of the Raptor and
RaptorQ codes with arbitrary packet flows. The first two schemes are
fully applicable to arbitrary packet flows (using Raptor and RaptorQ
respectively). The third and fourth schemes are slightly optimized
versions of the first two schemes, which are applicable in
Watson, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 6682 RTP Payload Format for Raptor August 2012
applications with relatively small block sizes. The fifth and sixth
schemes are variants of the third and fourth schemes, which are
applicable to a single source flow that already has some kind of
identifiable sequence number. The presence of a sequence number in
the source flow allows for backwards-compatible operation (the source
flows do not need to be modified in order to apply FEC). In this
case, in the language of the FEC Framework, there is no need for an
explicit FEC Source Payload ID; therefore, it is not included in the
packets.
This document specifies the payload format for RTP repair flows and
can be used with any of the FEC Schemes defined in [RFC6681].
4. Payload Format for FEC Repair Packets
4.1. RTP Header Usage
Header fields SHALL be set according to the rules of [RFC3550]. In
addition, the following rules and definitions apply for the RTP
headers used with FEC repair packets:
o Marker bit: The marker bit SHALL be set to 1 for the last
protection RTP packet sent for each source block, and otherwise
set to 0.
o Payload Type (PT): The payload type codes SHALL be assigned
dynamically through non-RTP means. If the Session Description
Protocol (SDP) is used for signaling, the rules in Section 7
apply.
o Timestamp: This field contains the time at which the packet is
transmitted. The time SHOULD be as close as possible to the
packet's actual time of transmission. The timestamp value has no
use in the actual FEC protection process. However,
implementations SHOULD supply a value that can be used for packet-
arrival timing or jitter calculations. The timestamp rate is
specified using the "rate" media type parameter defined in Section
6. The operator SHALL select a "rate" larger than 1000 Hz to
provide sufficient resolution to the Real-Time Transport Control
Protocol (RTCP) operations, and the operator SHOULD select the
rate that matches the rate of the protected source RTP stream.
o Synchronization Source (SSRC): The SSRC values MUST be set
according to [RFC3550]. The SSRC value of the RTP repair flow
MUST be different from the SSRC value of the protected source
flow.

4.2. Payload Header
There is no payload header in this payload format.
4.3. Payload Data
Procedures and data formats for the use of Raptor Forward Error
Correction in a FECFRAME context are fully defined in [RFC6363] and
[RFC6681] and are not duplicated here. The procedures of those
documents apply in order to generate repair data streams to be
carried by the payload formats defined in this document.
The RTP Payload SHALL contain a Repair FEC Payload ID as defined in
[RFC6363] and [RFC6681].

7. Mapping to the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
Applications that are using RTP transport commonly use the Session
Description Protocol (SDP) [RFC4566] to describe their RTP sessions.
The information that is used to specify the media types in an RTP
session has specific mappings to the fields in an SDP description.
Note that if an application does not use SDP to describe the RTP
sessions, an appropriate mapping must be defined and used to specify
the media types and their parameters for the control/description
protocol employed by the application.
The mapping of the above defined payload format media type and its
parameters SHALL be done according to Section 3 of [RFC4855],
following the suggestion therein regarding the mapping of payload-
format-specific parameters into the "a=fmtp" field.
When the RTP payload formats defined in this document are used, the
media type parameters defined above MUST use the media types in this
document and MUST NOT use those specified in [RFC6364].
8. Offer/Answer Considerations
When offering Raptor FEC over RTP using SDP in an Offer/Answer model
[RFC3264], the following considerations apply:
o Each combination of the Kmax and T parameters produces different
FEC data and is not compatible with any other combination. A
sender application MAY desire to provide multiple offers with
different sets of Kmax and T values, which is possible as long as
the parameter values are valid. The receiver SHOULD normally
choose the offer with the largest value of the product of Kmax and
T that it supports.
o The size of the repair window is related to the maximum delay
between the transmission of a source packet and the associated
repair packet. This directly impacts the buffering requirement on
the receiver side and the receiver must consider this when
choosing an offer.
o When the P parameter is not present, the receiver MUST use FEC
Payload ID Format A. In an answer that selects an offer in which
the P parameter was omitted, the P parameter MUST either be
omitted, or included with value "A".
Watson, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 6682 RTP Payload Format for Raptor August 2012
9. Declarative SDP Considerations
In declarative usage, like SDP in the Real-Time Streaming Protocol
(RTSP) [RFC2326] or the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP)
[RFC2974], the following considerations apply:
o The payload format configuration parameters are all declarative
and a participant MUST use the configuration that is provided for
the session.
o More than one configuration MAY be provided (if desired) by
declaring multiple RTP payload types. In this case, the receivers
should choose the repair session that is best for them.
10. Repair Flow Generation and Recovery Procedures
10.1. Overview
This document only specifies repair flow construction when the repair
packets are delivered with RTP. Source packet construction is
covered in [RFC6681]. This section provides an overview on how to
generate a repair flow, including the repair packets and how to
reconstruct missing source packets from a set of available source and
repair packets. Detailed algorithms for the generation of Raptor and
RaptorQ symbols are provided in [RFC5053] and [RFC6330],
respectively.
As per the FEC Framework document [RFC6363], the FEC Framework
Configuration Information includes, among others, the identification
of the repair flow(s) and the source flow(s). Methods to convey FEC
Framework Configuration Information are provided in [FEC-SIG].
Specifically, the reader is referred to the SDP elements document
[RFC6364], which describes the usage of the 'SDP' encoding format as
an example encoding format for FEC Framework Configuration
Information.
For the generation of a repair flow:
o repair packets SHALL be constructed according to Section 10.2, and
o RTCP SHALL be used according to Section 10.3.
For the reconstruction of a source packet of a source RTP session at
the receiver, based on the availability of a source RTP session and a
repair RTP session, the procedures in Section 10.4 may be used.
Watson, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]
RFC 6682 RTP Payload Format for Raptor August 2012
10.2. Repair Packet Construction
The construction of the repair packet is fully specified in Section
4. A repair packet is constructed by the concatenation of
o an RTP header as specified in Section 4.1, and
o payload data as defined in Section 4.3.
Repair Packet Construction may make use of the Sender Operation for
RTP repair flows as specified in see [RFC6363], Section 4.2.
10.3. Usage of RTCP
RTCP SHALL be used according to [RFC3550]. If the repair RTP session
is sent in a separate RTP session, the two sessions MUST be
associated using RTCP CNAME (Canonical Name).
10.4. Source Packet Reconstruction
Source Packet Reconstruction may make use of the receiver operation
for the case of RTP repair flows as specified in [RFC6363], Section
4.3. Depending on the FEC Scheme using the ones defined in
[RFC6681], the appropriate source blocks are formed. If enough data
for decoding any or all of the missing source payloads in the source
block has been received, the respective FEC decoding procedures are
applied.
In case the FEC Scheme uses Raptor codes as defined in [RFC5053],
then the Example FEC Decoder, as specified in [RFC5053], Section 5.5,
may be used.
In case the FEC Scheme uses RaptorQ codes as defined in [RFC6330],
then the Example FEC Decoder, as specified in [RFC6330], Section 5.4,
may be used.
11. Session Description Protocol (SDP) Example
This section provides an SDP [RFC4566] example. Assume we have one
source video stream (mid:S1) and one FEC repair stream (mid:R1). The
'group' attribute and the FEC grouping semantics defined in [RFC5888]
and [RFC5956], respectively, are used to associate source and repair
flows. We form one FEC group with the "a=group:FEC S1 R1" line. The
source and repair streams are sent to the same port on different
multicast groups. The repair window is set to 200 ms.

12. IANA Considerations
IANA has registered 'application/raptorfec' as specified in Section
6.1.1, 'video/raptorfec' as specified in Section 6.2.1,
'audio/raptorfec' as specified in Section 6.3.1, and 'text/raptorfec'
as specified in Section 6.4.1. The media type has also been added to
the IANA registry for "RTP Payload Format media types"
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/rtp-parameters).
13. Security Considerations
Security Considerations related to the use of the FEC Framework are
addressed in [RFC6363]. These considerations apply in full to users
of the RTP payload formats defined in this document, since these are
defined in terms of the FEC Framework.
No further security considerations related specifically to the Raptor
FEC Schemes defined in [RFC6681] have been identified.
RTP packets using the payload format defined in this specification
are subject to the security considerations discussed in the RTP
specification [RFC3550] and in any applicable RTP profile. The main
security considerations for the RTP packet carrying the RTP payload
format defined within this memo are confidentiality, integrity, and
source authenticity. Confidentiality is achieved by encrypting the
RTP payload. Integrity of the RTP packets is achieved through a
suitable cryptographic integrity protection mechanism. Such a
cryptographic system can also allow the authentication of the source
of the payload. A suitable security mechanism for this RTP payload
format should provide confidentiality, integrity protection, and at
least source authentication capable of determining if an RTP packet
Watson, et al. Standards Track [Page 15]
RFC 6682 RTP Payload Format for Raptor August 2012
is from a member of the RTP session. Note that the appropriate
mechanism to provide security to RTP and payloads following this memo
MAY vary. It is dependent on the application, transport, and
signaling protocol employed. Therefore, a single mechanism is not
sufficient; although, if suitable, using the Secure Real-Time
Transport Protocol (SRTP) [RFC3711] is RECOMMENDED. Other mechanisms
that may be used are IPsec [RFC4301] and Transport Layer Security
(TLS) [RFC5246] (RTP over TCP); other alternatives exist.
