9、022 (07/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is respon

10、sible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the IT

11、U-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborativ

12、e basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mand

13、atory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. T

14、he use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU take

15、s no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual proper

16、ty, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

22、TU-T G.1022 buffer mode 0 . 24 Bibliography. 25 iv Rec. ITU-T G.1022 (07/2016) Introduction This Recommendation is organized as follows: Beyond the Scope and usual introductory material, clauses 6 to 12 describe the modelling approach and different aspects of the buffer models. It is possible to use

23、 the model with minimal measured and supplied information, and clause 7 describes this in detail. Annexes outline specific media flow and connection conditions, such as single media flow on a single reliable connection. Each annex gives the specific requirements for model operation and defines defau

24、lt values for input parameters. Rec. ITU-T G.1022 (07/2016) 1 Recommendation ITU-T G.1022 Buffer models for media streams on TCP transport 1 Scope This Recommendation defines models to estimate the buffer occupancy and operational state used in client media players employing TCP transport and other

25、forms of reliable transport. The measurement point(s) provide an observation point on TCP connection(s) primarily within the end-to-end path, where input data are collected. The scope of work can be described in terms of inputs and outputs of the model(s): Exact procedures for processing network lay

26、ers and subsequent container processing are beyond the scope of this Recommendation, as it is highly variable and obviously must be matched to the specific circumstances. However, general guidance for readers is provided. Inputs Frames or partial frames (audio/visual (A/V) frames) pertaining to the

27、reliable transport connection(s) in use and the time stamp when each packet appears at the measurement point. Normal operation considers both directions of transmission. Alternatively, meta-data from the container or streaming media application layer and network layers may be used whenever present.

28、Outputs for each model state change, it is required to report the new state name, the timestamp of the change in units of measure equal to 1 millisecond resolution. Optionally, the current buffer fill level in units of milliseconds is reported for each change. There is optional periodic reporting of

29、 the buffer fill level with timestamp and current state name. Also, the frame type and size information that is played-out may be reported and for some models, the complete media stream information. Furthermore, if there are multiple video streams (e.g., in the adaptive case) a possible stream chang

30、e could be reported. When available for each frame, there shall be a descriptive tuple containing a synthesized or decoded status, frame type, frame size in bytes, duration in time (ms) represented by the frame, and the payload bytes. The frame type should be registered (somewhere) and referenced in

31、 the type value. Operation there are scenarios where it may not be possible to access the media frame boundaries within the A/V stream, such as when the media is encrypted or an un-decodeable media format is encountered. In such cases, the set of default frame tuples within a container may be synthe

32、sised, and the distinction between decoded frame boundaries and synthesised frames shall be indicated. When a sufficiently long pause is detected in the TCP stream (or media flow) and a waiting time for resumption of the TCP stream expires, the monitoring system declares an End of stream if the buff

33、er is coincidentally depleted, and normal operation should cease. All stored state, including buffer state and queuing diagnostic information may be made available for on demand retrieval. Some network analysis is allowed to assist the mid-path monitoring to determine frame arrival time and other si

34、gnals that are inputs to the model (the details of complex network interactions are out of the scope of the Recommendation, but some general guidance is provided). Advertisements interjected in user sessions are extremely important to the business of video delivery, and evaluation of their delivery

35、may need to be separate to meet the needs of performance management. NOTE Non-reliable and UDP streams are outside of the scope of this Recommendation; they are covered in b-ITU-T G.1021. 2 Rec.
