1.  Introduction

   TTML (Timed Text Markup Language)[TTML2] is a media type for
   describing timed text such as closed captions (also known as
   subtitles) in television workflows or broadcasts as XML.  This
   document specifies how TTML should be mapped into an RTP stream in
   live workflows including, but not restricted to, those described in
   the television broadcast oriented EBU-TT Part 3[TECH3370]
   specification.  This document does not define a media type for TTML
   but makes use of the existing application/ttml+xml media type
   [TTML-MTPR].

2.  Conventions, Definitions, and Abbreviations

   Unless otherwise stated, the term "document" is used in this draft to
   refer to the TTML document being transmitted in the payload of the
   RTP packet(s).

   Where the term "word" is used in this draft, it is to refer to byte
   aligned or 32-bit aligned words of data in a computing sense and not
   to refer to linguistic words that might appear in the transported
   text.

   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 BCP14 [RFC2119]
   [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown
   here.

3.  Media Format Description

3.1.  Relation to Other Text Payload Types

   Prior payload types for text are not suited to the carriage of closed
   captions in Television Workflows.  RFC 4103 for Text Conversation
   [RFC4103] is intended for low data rate conversation with its own
   session management and minimal formatting capabilities.  RFC 4734
   Events for Modem, Fax, and Text Telephony Signals [RFC4734] deals in
   large parts with the control signalling of facsimile and other
   systems.  RFC 4396 for 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
   Timed Text [RFC4396] describes the carriage of a timed text format
   with much more restricted formatting capabilities than TTML.  The
   lack of an existing format for TTML or generic XML has necessitated
   the creation of this payload format.

4.  Payload Format

   In addition to the required RTP headers, the payload contains a
   section for the TTML document being transmitted (User Data Words),
   and a field for the Length of that data.  Each RTP payload contains
   one or part of one TTML document.

   A representation of the payload format for TTML is Figure 1.

4.1.  RTP Header Usage

   RTP packet header fields SHALL be interpreted as per RFC 3550
   [RFC3550], with the following specifics:

   Marker Bit (M): 1 bit
      The Marker Bit is set to "1" to indicate the last packet of a
      document.  Otherwise set to "0".  Note: The first packet might
      also be the last.

   Timestamp: 32 bits
      The RTP Timestamp encodes the time of the text in the packet.  The
      clock frequency used is dependent on the application and is
      specified in the media type rate parameter as per Section 7.1.
      Documents spread across multiple packets MUST use the same
      timestamp but different consecutive Sequence Numbers.  Sequential
      documents MUST NOT use the same timestamp.  Because packets do not
      represent any constant duration, the timestamp cannot be used to
      directly infer packet loss.

   Reserved: 16 bits
      These bits are reserved for future use and MUST be set to 0x0.

   Length: 16 bits
      The length of User Data Words in bytes.

   User Data Words: integer number of words whose length is defined by
   the character encoding
      User Data Words contains the text of the whole document being
      transmitted or a part of the document being transmitted.
      Documents using character encodings where characters are not
      represented by a single byte MUST be serialized in big endian
      order, a.k.a. network byte order.  When the document spans more
      than one RTP packet, the entire document is obtained by
      concatenating User Data Words from each contributing packet in
      ascending order of Sequence Number.

4.2.  Payload Data

   Documents carried in User Data Words are encoded in accordance with
   one of the defined TTML profiles specified in its registry
   [TTML-MTPR].  These profiles specify the document structure used,
   systems models, timing, and other considerations.

   Additionally, documents carried over RTP MUST conform to the
   following profile.

4.2.1.  TTML Profile for RTP Carriage

   This section defines constraints on the content and processing of the
   TTML payload for RTP carriage.

4.2.1.1.  Payload content restrictions

   Multiple TTML subtitle streams MUST NOT be interleaved in a single
   RTP stream.

   The TTML document instance MUST use the "media" value of the
   "ttp:timeBase" parameter attribute on the root element.

   This is equivalent to the following TTML2 content profile definition
   document:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <profile xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml#parameter"

       </features>
   </profile>

4.2.1.2.  Payload processing requirements

   If the TTML document payload is assessed to be invalid then it MUST
   be discarded.  When processing a valid document, the following
   requirements apply.

   The epoch E relative to which computed TTML media times are offset
   MUST be set to the RTP Timestamp in the header of the RTP packet in
   which the TTML document instance is carried.

Internet-Draft       RTP Payload for TTML Timed Text       February 2019


   When processing a sequence of TTML documents each delivered in the
   same RTP stream, exactly zero or one document SHALL be considered
   active at each moment in the RTP time line.

   Each TTML document becomes active at E.  In the event that a document
   D_(n-1) with E_(n-1) is active, and document D_(n) is delivered with
   E_(n) where E_(n-1) < E_(n), processing of D_(n-1) MUST be stopped at
   E_(n) and processing of D_(n) MUST begin.

   When all defined content within a document has ended, i.e. the active
   intermediate synchronic document contains no content, then processing
   of the document MAY be stopped.

4.2.1.2.1.  TTML Processor profile

4.2.1.2.1.1.  Feature extension designation

   This specification defines the following TTML feature extension
   designation:

   o  urn:ietf:rfc:XXXX#rtp-relative-media-time

   The namespace "urn:ietf:rfc:XXXX" is as defined by [RFC2648].

   A TTML content processor supports the "#rtp-relative-media-time"
   feature extension if it processes media times in accordance with the
   payload processing requirements specified in this document, i.e. that
   the epoch E is set to the time equivalent to the RTP Timestamp as
   detailed above in Section 4.2.1.2.

4.2.1.2.1.2.  Processor profile document

   The required syntax and semantics declared in the following minimal
   TTML2 processor profile MUST be supported by the receiver, as
   signified by those "feature" or "extension" elements whose "value"
   attribute is set to "required":

               #rtp-relative-media-time
           </extension>
       </extensions>
   </profile>

   Note that this requirement does not imply that the receiver needs to
   support either TTML1 or TTML2 profile processing, i.e. the TTML2
   "#profile-full-version-2" feature or any of its dependent features.

4.2.1.2.1.3.  Processor profile signalling

   The "codecs" media type parameter MUST specify at least one processor
   profile.  The processor profiles specified in "codecs" MUST be
   compatible with the processor profile specified in this document.
   Where multiple options exist in "codecs" for possible processor
   profile combinations (i.e. separated by "|" operator), every
   permitted option MUST be compatible with the processor profile
   specified in this document.  Where processor profiles other than the
   one specified in this document are advertised in the "codecs"
   parameter, the requirements of the processor profile specified in
   this document MAY be signalled additionally using the "+" operator
   with its registered short code.

   A processor profile (X) is compatible with the processor profile in
   this document (P) if X includes all the features and extensions in P,
   identified by their character content, and the "value" attribute of
   each is at least as restrictive as the "value" attribute of the

   feature or extension in P that has the same character content.  The
   term "restrictive" here is as defined in [TTML2] Section 6.

   Note that short codes for TTML profiles are registered at
   [TTML-MTPR].

4.2.1.2.2.  EBU-TT Live considerations

   EBU-TT Live is a profile of TTML intended to support live
   contribution of TTML documents as a stream independently of the
   carriage mechanism.  When EBU-TT Live documents are carried in an RTP
   stream, or when the TTML documents being transferred over RTP use
   EBU-TT Live semantics, the following considerations apply:

   E is considered to be the Availability Time as defined by EBU-TT
   Live.  It is an error if two documents are delivered such that
   E_(n-1) < E_(n) and the "ebuttp:sequenceNumber" of E_(n-1) is greater
   than the "ebuttp:sequenceNumber" of E_(n).  Every EBU-TT Live
   document in a single RTP stream MUST have a
   "ebuttp:sequenceIdentifier" with the same value.

5.  Payload Examples

   The following is an example of a valid TTML document that may be
   carried using the payload format described in this document:

6.  Congestion Control Considerations

   Congestion control for RTP SHALL be used in accordance with RFC 3550
   [RFC3550], and with any applicable RTP profile: e.g., RFC 3551
   [RFC3551].  An additional requirement if best-effort service is being
   used is users of this payload format MUST monitor packet loss to
   ensure that the packet loss rate is within acceptable parameters.



Sandford                 Expires August 26, 2019                [Page 9]


Internet-Draft       RTP Payload for TTML Timed Text       February 2019


   Circuit Breakers [RFC8083] is an update to RTP [RFC3550] that defines
   criteria for when one is required to stop sending RTP Packet Streams
   and applications implementing this standard MUST comply with it.  RFC
   8085 [RFC8083] provides additional information on the best practices
   for applying congestion control to UDP streams.

7.  Payload Format Parameters

   This RTP payload format is identified using the existing application/
   ttml+xml media type as registered with IANA [IANA] and defined in
   [TTML-MTPR].

7.1.  Clock Rate

   The default clock rate for TTML over RTP is 1000Hz.  The clock rate
   SHOULD be included in any advertisements of the RTP stream where
   possible.  This parameter has not been added to the media type
   definition as it is not applicable to TTML usage other than within
   RTP streams.  In other contexts, timing is defined within the TTML
   document.

   When choosing a clock rate, implementers should consider what other
   media their TTML streams may be used in conjunction with (e.g. video
   or audio).  It may be appropriate to use the same Synchronization
   Source and Clock Rate as the related media.  As TTML streams may be
   aperiodic, implementers should also consider the frequency range over
   which they expect packets to be sent and the temporal resolution
   required.

7.2.  Mapping to SDP

   The mapping of the application/ttml+xml media type and its parameters
   [TTML-MTPR] SHALL be done according to Section 3 of RFC 4855
   [RFC4855].

   o  The type name "application" goes in SDP "m=" as the media name.

   o  The media subtype "ttml+xml" goes in SDP "a=rtpmap" as the
      encoding name,

   o  The clock rate also goes in "a=rtpmap" as the clock rate.

   Additional format specific parameters as described in the media type
   specification SHALL be included in the SDP file in "a=fmtp" as a
   semicolon separated list of "parameter=value" pairs as described in
   [RFC4855].  The "codecs" parameter MUST be included in the SDP file.
   Specific requirements for the "codecs" parameter are included in
   Section 4.2.1.2.1.3.

Internet-Draft       RTP Payload for TTML Timed Text       February 2019


7.2.1.  Examples

   A sample SDP mapping is as follows:

   m=application 30000 RTP/AVP 112
   a=rtpmap:112 ttml+xml/90000
   a=fmtp:112 charset=utf-8;codecs=im1t

   In this example, a dynamic payload type 112 is used.  The 90 kHz RTP
   timestamp rate is specified in the "a=rtpmap" line after the subtype.
   The codecs parameter defined in the "a=fmtp" line indicates that the
   TTML data conforms to IMSC 1 Text profile.

8.  IANA Considerations

   No IANA action.

9.  Security Considerations

   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 such as
   RTP/AVP [RFC3551], RTP/AVPF [RFC4585], RTP/SAVP [RFC3711], or RTP/
   SAVPF [RFC5124].  However, as "Securing the RTP Protocol Framework:
   Why RTP Does Not Mandate a Single Media Security Solution" [RFC7202]
   discusses, it is not an RTP payload format's responsibility to
   discuss or mandate what solutions are used to meet the basic security
   goals like confidentiality, integrity, and source authenticity for
   RTP in general.  This responsibility lays on anyone using RTP in an
   application.  They can find guidance on available security mechanisms
   and important considerations in "Options for Securing RTP Sessions"
   [RFC7201].  Applications SHOULD use one or more appropriate strong
   security mechanisms.  The rest of this Security Considerations
   section discusses the security impacting properties of the payload
   format itself.

   To avoid potential buffer overflow attacks, receivers should take
   care to validate that the User Data Words in the RTP payload are of
   the appropriate length (using the Length field).

   This payload format places no specific restrictions on the size of
   TTML documents that may be transmitted.  As such, malicious
   implementations could be used to perform denial-of-service (DoS)
   attacks.  RFC 4732 [RFC4732] provides more information on DoS attacks
   and describes some mitigation strategies.  Implementers should take
   into consideration that the size and frequency of documents
   transmitted using this format may vary over time.  As such, sender
   implementations should avoid producing streams that exhibit DoS-like

   behaviour and receivers should avoid false identification of a
   legitimate stream as malicious.

   As with other XML types and as noted in RFC 7303 [RFC7303], XML Media
   Types, Section 10, repeated expansion of maliciously constructed XML
   entities can be used to consume large amounts of memory, which may
   cause XML processors in constrained environments to fail.

   In addition, because of the extensibility features for TTML and of
   XML in general, it is possible that "application/ttml+xml" may
   describe content that has security implications beyond those
   described here.  However, TTML does not provide for any sort of
   active or executable content, and if the processor follows only the
   normative semantics of the published specification, this content will
   be outside TTML namespaces and may be ignored.  Only in the case
   where the processor recognizes and processes the additional content,
   or where further processing of that content is dispatched to other
   processors, would security issues potentially arise.  And in that
   case, they would fall outside the domain of this RTP payload format
   and the application/ttml+xml registration document.

   Although not prohibited, there are no expectations that XML
   signatures or encryption would normally be employed.

   Further information related to privacy and security at a document
   level can be found in TTML 2 Appendix P [TTML2].
