RFC 7005 RTCP XR Jitter Buffer September 2013
1. Introduction
1.1. De-Jitter Buffer Metrics Block
This document defines a new block type to augment those defined in
[RFC3611] for use in a range of RTP applications.
The new block type provides information on de-jitter buffer
configuration and performance.
The metric belongs to the class of transport-related end-system
metrics defined in [RFC6792].
Instances of this metrics block refer by synchronization source
(SSRC) to the separate auxiliary Measurement Information Block
[RFC6776], which contains information such as the SSRC of the
