+
+1. Introduction
+
+ Vorbis is a general purpose perceptual audio codec intended to allow
+ maximum encoder flexibility, thus allowing it to scale competitively
+ over an exceptionally wide range of bitrates. At the high quality/
+ bitrate end of the scale (CD or DAT rate stereo, 16/24 bits), it is
+ in the same league as MPEG-2 and MPC. Similarly, the version 1.1
+ reference encoder can encode high-quality CD and DAT rate stereo at
+ below 48k bits/sec without resampling to a lower rate. Vorbis is
+ also intended for lower and higher sample rates (from 8kHz telephony
+ to 192kHz digital masters) and a range of channel representations
+ (monaural, polyphonic, stereo, quadraphonic, 5.1, ambisonic, or up to
+ 255 discrete channels).
+
+ Vorbis encoded audio is generally encapsulated within an Ogg format
+ bitstream [1], which provides framing and synchronization. For the
+ purposes of RTP transport, this layer is unnecessary, and so raw
+ Vorbis packets are used in the payload.
+
+1.1. Terminology
+
+ 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 RFC 2119 [2].
+
+
+2. Payload Format
+
+ For RTP based transport of Vorbis encoded audio the standard RTP
+ header is followed by a 4 octets payload header, then the payload
+ data. The payload headers are used to associate the Vorbis data with
+ its associated decoding codebooks as well as indicating if the
+ following packet contains fragmented Vorbis data and/or the number of
+ whole Vorbis data frames. The payload data contains the raw Vorbis
+ bitstream information.
+
+2.1. RTP Header
+
+ The format of the RTP header is specified in [3] and shown in Figure
+ Figure 1. This payload format uses the fields of the header in a
+ manner consistent with that specification.

+
+ Figure 1: RTP Header
+
+ The RTP header begins with an octet of fields (V, P, X, and CC) to
+ support specialized RTP uses (see [3] and [4] for details). For
+ Vorbis RTP, the following values are used.
+
+ Version (V): 2 bits
+
+ This field identifies the version of RTP. The version used by this
+ specification is two (2).
+
+ Padding (P): 1 bit
+
+ Padding MAY be used with this payload format according to section 5.1
+ of [3].
+
+ Extension (X): 1 bit
+
+ The Extension bit is used in accordance with [3].
+
+ CSRC count (CC): 4 bits
+
+ The CSRC count is used in accordance with [3].
+
+ Marker (M): 1 bit
+
+ Set to zero. Audio silence suppression not used. This conforms to
+ section 4.1 of [15].
+
+ Payload Type (PT): 7 bits
+
+ An RTP profile for a class of applications is expected to assign a
+ payload type for this format, or a dynamically allocated payload type
+ SHOULD be chosen which designates the payload as Vorbis.

+Internet-Draft draft-ietf-avt-rtp-vorbis-00 February 2006
+
+
+ Sequence number: 16 bits
+
+ The sequence number increments by one for each RTP data packet sent,
+ and may be used by the receiver to detect packet loss and to restore
+ packet sequence. This field is detailed further in [3].
+
+ Timestamp: 32 bits
+
+ A timestamp representing the sampling time of the first sample of the
+ first Vorbis packet in the RTP packet. The clock frequency MUST be
+ set to the sample rate of the encoded audio data and is conveyed out-
+ of-band as a SDP parameter.
+
+ SSRC/CSRC identifiers:
+
+ These two fields, 32 bits each with one SSRC field and a maximum of
+ 16 CSRC fields, are as defined in [3].
+
+2.2. Payload Header
+
+ The 4 octets following the RTP Header section are the Payload Header.
+ This header is split into a number of bitfields detailing the format
+ of the following payload data packets.

+ 0 1 2 3
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+
+ Ident: 24 bits
+
+ This 24 bit field is used to associate the Vorbis data to a decoding
+ Configuration.
+
+ Fragment type (F): 2 bits
+
+ This field is set according to the following list
+
+ 0 = Not Fragmented
+ 1 = Start Fragment
+ 2 = Continuation Fragment
+ 3 = End Fragment
+
+ Vorbis Data Type (VDT): 2 bits

+
+
+ This field sets the payload type for the Vorbis data in this RTP
+ packet. There are currently three type of Vorbis payloads.
+
+ 0 = Raw Vorbis payload
+ 1 = Vorbis Packed Configuration payload
+ 2 = Legacy Vorbis Comment payload
+ 3 = Reserved
+
+ The packets with a TDT of value 3 MUST be ignored
+
+ The last 4 bits represent the number of complete packets in this
+ payload. This provides for a maximum number of 15 Vorbis packets in
+ the payload. If the packet contains fragmented data the number of
+ packets MUST be set to 0.
+
+2.3. Payload Data
+
+ Raw Vorbis packets are currently unbounded in length, application
+ profiles will likely define a practical limit. Typical Vorbis packet
+ sizes range from very small (2-3 bytes) to quite large (8-12
+ kilobytes). The reference implementation [14] typically produces
+ packets less than ~800 bytes, except for the setup header packets
+ which are ~4-12 kilobytes. Within an RTP context, to avoid
+ fragmentation, the Vorbis data packet size SHOULD be kept
+ sufficiently small so that after adding the the RTP and payload
+ headers, the complete RTP packet is smaller than the path MTU.

+
+ Figure 3: Payload Data Header
+
+ Each Vorbis payload packet starts with a two octet length header,
+ which is used to represent the size of the following data payload,
+ followed by the raw Vorbis data padded to the nearest byte boundary.
+
+ For payloads which consist of multiple Vorbis packets the payload
+ data consists of the packet length followed by the packet data for
+ each of the Vorbis packets in the payload.
+
+ The Vorbis packet length header is the length of the Vorbis data
+ block only and does not count the length field.
+
+ The payload packing of the Vorbis data packets MUST follow the
+ guidelines set-out in [4] where the oldest packet occurs immediately

+ in temporal order.

+ The payload data section of the RTP packet begins with the 24 bit

+ number of Vorbis frames set to 2. Each of the Vorbis data frames is
+
+
+
+Barbato Expires August 29, 2006 [Page 7]
+
+Internet-Draft draft-ietf-avt-rtp-vorbis-00 February 2006
+
+
+ prefixed by the two octets length field. The Packet Type and
+ Fragment Type are set to 0. The Configuration that will be used to
+ decode the packets is the one indexed by the ident value.
+
+
+3. Configuration Headers
+
+ Unlike other mainstream audio codecs Vorbis has no statically
+ configured probability model. Instead, it packs all entropy decoding
+ configuration, VQ and Huffman models into a data block that must be
+ transmitted to the decoder along with the compressed data. A decoder
+ also requires information detailing the number of audio channels,
+ bitrates and similar information to configure itself for a particular
+ compressed data stream. These two blocks of information are often
+ referred to collectively as the "codebooks" for a Vorbis stream, and
+ are nominally included as special "header" packets at the start of
+ the compressed data. In addition, the Vorbis I specification [15]
+ requires the presence of a comment header packet which gives simple
+ metadata about the stream, but this information is not required for
+ decoding the frame sequence.
+
+ Thus these two codebook header packets must be received by the
+ decoder before any audio data can be interpreted. These requirements
+ pose problems in RTP, which is often used over unreliable transports.
+
+ Since this information must be transmitted reliably and, as the RTP
+ stream may change certain configuration data mid-session, there are
+ different methods for delivering this configuration data to a client,
+ both in-band and out-of-band which is detailed below. SDP delivery
+ is used to set up an initial state for the client application. The
+ changes may be due to different codebooks as well as different
+ bitrates of the stream.
+
+ The delivery vectors in use are specified by an SDP attribute to
+ indicate the method and the optional URI where the Vorbis Packed
+ Configuration (Section 3.1.1) Packets could be fetched. Different
+ delivery methods MAY be advertised for the same session. The in-band
+ Configuration delivery SHOULD be considered as baseline, out-of-band
+ delivery methods that don't use RTP will not be described in this
+ document. For non chained streams, the Configuration recommended
+ delivery method is inline the Packed Configuration (Section 3.1.1) in
+ the SDP as explained in the IANA considerations (Section 6.1)
+ section.
+
+ The 24 bit Ident field is used to map which Configuration will be
+ used to decode a packet. When the Ident field changes, it indicates
+ that a change in the stream has taken place. The client application
+ MUST have in advance the correct configuration and if the client
+
+
+
+Barbato Expires August 29, 2006 [Page 8]
+
+Internet-Draft draft-ietf-avt-rtp-vorbis-00 February 2006
+
+
+ detects a change in the Ident value and does not have this
+ information it MUST NOT decode the raw Vorbis data associated until
+ it fetches the correct Configuration.
+
+3.1. In-band Header Transmission
+
+ The Packed Configuration (Section 3.1.1) Payload is sent in-band with
+ the packet type bits set to match the payload type. Clients MUST be
+ capable of dealing with fragmentation and periodic re-transmission of
+ the configuration headers.
+
+3.1.1. Packed Configuration
+
+ A Vorbis Packed Configuration is indicated with the payload type
+ field set to 1. Of the three headers, defined in the Vorbis I
+ specification [15], the identification and the setup will be packed
+ together, the comment header is completely suppressed. Is up to the
+ client provide a minimal size comment header to the decoder if
+ required by the implementation.

+
+3.2. Out of Band Transmission
+
+ This section, as stated above, does not cover all the possible out-
+ of-band delivery methods since they rely on different protocols and
+ are linked to specific applications. The following packet definition
+ SHOULD be used in out-of-band delivery and MUST be used when
+ Configuration is inlined in the SDP.

+
+ configuration data is via a retrieval method that can be performed
+ using a reliable transport protocol. As the RTP headers are not
+ required for this method of delivery the structure of the
+ configuration data is slightly different. The packed header starts
+ with a 32 bit count field which details the number of packed headers
+ that are contained in the bundle. Next is the Packed header payload
+ for each chained Vorbis stream.

+3.3. Loss of Configuration Headers
+
+ Unlike the loss of raw Vorbis payload data, loss of a configuration
+ header can lead to a situation where it will not be possible to
+ successfully decode the stream.
+
+ Loss of Configuration Packet results in the halting of stream
+ decoding and SHOULD be reported to the client as well as a loss
+ report sent via RTCP.
+
+
+4. Comment Headers
+
+ With the payload type flag set to 2, this indicates that the packet
+ contain the comment metadata, such as artist name, track title and so
+ on. These metadata messages are not intended to be fully descriptive
+ but to offer basic track/song information. Clients MAY ignore it
+ completely. The details on the format of the comments can be found
+ in the Vorbis documentation [15].

+
+
+5. Frame Packetization
+
+ Each RTP packet contains either one Vorbis packet fragment, or an
+ integer number of complete Vorbis packets (up to a maximum of 15
+ packets, since the number of packets is defined by a 4 bit value).
+
+ Any Vorbis data packet that is less than path MTU SHOULD be bundled
+ in the RTP packet with as many Vorbis packets as will fit, up to a
+ maximum of 15, except when such bundling would exceed an
+ application's desired transmission latency. Path MTU is detailed in
+ [6] and [7].
+
+ A fragmented packet has a zero in the last four bits of the payload
+ header. The first fragment will set the Fragment type to 1. Each
+ fragment after the first will set the Fragment type to 2 in the
+ payload header. The RTP packet containing the last fragment of the
+ Vorbis packet will have the Fragment type set to 3. To maintain the
+ correct sequence for fragmented packet reception the timestamp field
+ of fragmented packets MUST be the same as the first packet sent, with
+ the sequence number incremented as normal for the subsequent RTP

+
+ This is the last Vorbis fragment packet. The Fragment type is set to
+ 3 and the packet count remains set to 0. As in the previous packets
+ the timestamp remains set to the first packet in the sequence and the
+ sequence number has been incremented.
+
+5.2. Packet Loss
+
+ As there is no error correction within the Vorbis stream, packet loss
+ will result in a loss of signal. Packet loss is more of an issue for
+ fragmented Vorbis packets as the client will have to cope with the
+ handling of the Fragment Type. In case of loss of fragments the
+ client MUST discard all the remaining fragments and decode the
+ incomplete packet. If we use the fragmented Vorbis packet example
+ above and the first packet is lost the client MUST detect that the
+ next packet has the packet count field set to 0 and the Fragment type
+ 2 and MUST drop it. The next packet, which is the final fragmented
+ packet, MUST be dropped in the same manner. If the missing packet is
+ the last, the received two fragments will be kept and the incomplete
+ vorbis packet decoded. Feedback reports on lost and dropped packets
+ MUST be sent back via RTCP.
+
+ If a particular multicast session has a large number of participants
+ care must be taken to prevent an RTCP feedback implosion, [10], in
+ the event of packet loss from a large number of participants.

+ Loss of any of the Configuration fragment will result in the loss of
+ the full Configuration packet with the result detailed in the Loss of
+ Configuration Headers (Section 3.3) section.

+
+6.1. Mapping MIME Parameters into SDP
+
+ The information carried in the MIME media type specification has a
+ specific mapping to fields in the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
+ [5], which is commonly used to describe RTP sessions. When SDP is
+ used to specify sessions the mapping are as follows:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Barbato Expires August 29, 2006 [Page 19]
+
+Internet-Draft draft-ietf-avt-rtp-vorbis-00 February 2006
+
+
+ o The MIME type ("audio") goes in SDP "m=" as the media name.
+
+ o The MIME subtype ("vorbis") goes in SDP "a=rtpmap" as the encoding
+ name.
+
+ o The parameter "rate" also goes in "a=rtpmap" as clock rate.
+
+ o The parameter "channels" also goes in "a=rtpmap" as channel count.
+
+ o The mandated parameters "delivery-method" and "configuration" MUST
+ be included in the SDP "a=fmpt" attribute.
+
+ o The optional parameter "configuration-uri", when present, MUST be
+ included in the SDP "a=fmpt" attribute and MUST follow the
+ delivery-method that applies.
+
+ If the stream comprises chained Vorbis files and all of them are
+ known in advance, the Configuration Packet for each file SHOULD be
+ passed to the client using the configuration attribute.
+
+ The URI specified in the configuration-uri attribute MUST point to a
+ location where all of the Configuration Packets needed for the life
+ of the session reside.
+
+ The port value is specified by the server application bound to the
+ address specified in the c attribute. The bitrate value and channels
+ specified in the rtpmap attribute MUST match the Vorbis sample rate
+ value. An example is found below.
+
+6.1.1. SDP Example
+
+ The following example shows a basic SDP single stream. The first
+ configuration packet is inlined in the sdp, other configurations
+ could be fetched at any time from the first provided uri using or all
+ the known configuration could be downloaded using the second uri.
+ The inline base16 [9] configuration string is omitted because of the
+ lenght.
+ c=IN IP4 192.0.0.1
+ m=audio RTP/AVP 98
+ a=rtpmap:98 vorbis/44100/2
+ a=delivery:out_band/http
+ a=fmtp:98 delivery-method=in_band; configuration=base16string1;
+ delivery-method=out_band/rtsp;
+ configuration-uri=rtsp://path/to/the/resource; delivery-
+ method=out_band/http; configuration-uri=http://another/path/to/
+ resource/aggregate.bz2!sha1hash;
+
+ Note that the payload format (encoding) names are commonly shown in
+
+
+
+Barbato Expires August 29, 2006 [Page 20]
+
+Internet-Draft draft-ietf-avt-rtp-vorbis-00 February 2006
+
+
+ upper case. MIME subtypes are commonly shown in lower case. These
+ names are case-insensitive in both places. Similarly, parameter
+ names are case-insensitive both in MIME types and in the default
+ mapping to the SDP a=fmtp attribute. The exception regarding case
+ sensitivity is the configuration-uri URI which MUST be regarded as
+ being case sensitive.
+
+6.2. Usage with the SDP Offer/Answer Model
+
+ The offer, as described in An Offer/Answer Model Session Description
+ Protocol [8], may contain a large number of delivery methods per
+ single fmtp attribute, the answerer MUST remove every delivery-method
+ and configuration-uri not supported. All the parameters MUST not be
+ altered on answer otherwise.
+
+
+7. Congestion Control
+
+ Vorbis clients SHOULD send regular receiver reports detailing
+ congestion. A mechanism for dynamically downgrading the stream,
+ known as bitrate peeling, will allow for a graceful backing off of
+ the stream bitrate. This feature is not available at present so an
+ alternative would be to redirect the client to a lower bitrate stream
+ if one is available.
+
+ If a particular multicast session has a large number of participants
+ care must be taken to prevent an RTCP feedback implosion, [10], in
+ the event of congestion.
+
+
+8. Examples
+
+ The following examples are common usage patterns that MAY be applied
+ in such situations, the main scope of this section is to explain
+ better usage of the transmission vectors.
+
+8.1. Stream Radio
+
+ This is one of the most common situation: one single server streaming
+ content in multicast, the clients may start a session at random time.
+ The content itself could be a mix of live stream, as the wj's voice,
+ and stored streams as the music she plays.
+
+ In this situation we don't know in advance how many codebooks we will
+ use. The clients can join anytime and users expect to start
+ listening to the content in a short time.
+
+ On join the client will receive the current Configuration necessary
+
+
+
+Barbato Expires August 29, 2006 [Page 21]
+
+Internet-Draft draft-ietf-avt-rtp-vorbis-00 February 2006
+
+
+ to decode the current stream inlined in the SDP so that the decoding
+ will start immediately after.
+
+ When the streamed content changes the new Configuration is sent in-
+ band before the actual stream, and the Configuration that has to be
+ sent inline in the SDP updated. Since the inline method is
+ unreliable, an out of band fallback is provided.
+
+ The client could choose to fetch the Configuration from the alternate
+ source as soon it discovers a Configuration packet got lost inline or
+ use selective retransmission [17], if the server supports the
+ feature.
+
+ A serverside optimization would be to keep an hash list of the
+ Configurations per session to avoid packing all of them and send the
+ same Configuration with different Ident tags
+
+ A clientside optimization would be to keep a tag list of the
+ Configurations per session and don't process configuration packets
+ already known.
+
+
+9. Security Considerations
+
+ RTP packets using this payload format are subject to the security
+ considerations discussed in the RTP specification [3]. This implies
+ that the confidentiality of the media stream is achieved by using
+ encryption. Because the data compression used with this payload
+ format is applied end-to-end, encryption may be performed on the
+ compressed data. Where the size of a data block is set care MUST be
+ taken to prevent buffer overflows in the client applications.
