SIP User's Manual F. RTP Control Protocol Extended Reports (RTCP-XR)
Version 5.0 367 October 2006
F RTP Control Protocol Extended Reports
(RTCP-XR)
RTP Control Protocol Extended Reports (RTCP-XR) is a VoIP management control that
defines a set of metrics containing information for assessing VoIP call quality and
diagnosing problems. RTCP-XR (RFC 3611) extends the RTCP reports defined in RFC
3550 by providing additional VoIP metrics.
RTCP-XR information publishing is implemented in the media server according to <draft-
johnston-sipping-rtcp-summary-07>. This draft defines how a SIP User Agent (UA)
publishes the detailed information to a defined collector.
RTCP-XR messages containing key call-quality-related metrics are exchanged periodically
(user-defined) between the gateway and the SIP UA. This allows an analyzer to monitor
these metrics midstream, or a gateway to retrieve them using SNMP. The gateway can
send RTCP-XR reports to an Event State Compositor (ESC) server using PUBLISH
messages. These reports can be sent at the end of each call (configured using
RTCPXRReportMode) and according to a user-defined interval (RTCPInterval or
DisableRTCPRandomize) between consecutive reports.
To enable RTCP-XR reporting, the VQMonEnable ini file parameter must be set to 1.
For a detailed description of the RTCP-XR ini file parameters, refer to Table
6-12 on page
196.
RTCP-XR measures VoIP call quality such as packet loss, delay, signal / noise / echo
levels, estimated R-factor, and mean opinion score (MOS). RTCP-XR measures these
parameters using the metrics listed in the table below.
