Technical Summary
This specification describes an RTP payload format for the VP9 video
codec. The payload format has wide applicability, as it supports
applications from low bit-rate peer-to-peer usage, to high bit-rate
video conferences. It includes provisions for temporal and spatial
scalability.
Working Group Summary
Document Quality
Recent discussion of the VP9 payload format has centered on support for framemarking as well as some SDP questions.
Since framemarking does not support some popular spatial scalability modes (e.g. K-SVC), support for framemarking has
not caught on, and framemarking support was recently removed from the webrtc.org distribution. As a result, a section
on framemarking has been removed from the VP9 RTP payload specification.
The VP9 RTP payload format is widely deployed, as part of the webrtc.org distribution. This includes implementations in browsers as well as mobile, tablet and desktop applications.

IESG Note
The "PAYLOAD" working group merged with AVTCORE prior to my term as an AD, hence the curious filename for this document.
