# Absolute Send Time
|
|
|
|
The Absolute Send Time extension is used to stamp RTP packets with a timestamp
|
|
showing the departure time from the system that put this packet on the wire
|
|
(or as close to this as we can manage). Contact <solenberg@google.com> for
|
|
more info.
|
|
|
|
Name: "Absolute Sender Time" ; "RTP Header Extension for Absolute Sender Time"
|
|
|
|
Formal name: <http://www.webrtc.org/experiments/rtp-hdrext/abs-send-time>
|
|
|
|
SDP "a= name": "abs-send-time" ; this is also used in client/cloud signaling.
|
|
|
|
Not unlike [RTP with TFRC](http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-avt-tfrc-profile-10#section-5)
|
|
|
|
Wire format: 1-byte extension, 3 bytes of data. total 4 bytes extra per packet
|
|
(plus shared 4 bytes for all extensions present: 2 byte magic word 0xBEDE, 2
|
|
byte # of extensions). Will in practice replace the "toffset" extension so we
|
|
should see no long term increase in traffic as a result.
|
|
|
|
Encoding: Timestamp is in seconds, 24 bit 6.18 fixed point, yielding 64s
|
|
wraparound and 3.8us resolution (one increment for each 477 bytes going out on
|
|
a 1Gbps interface).
|
|
|
|
Relation to NTP timestamps: abs_send_time_24 = (ntp_timestamp_64 >> 14) &
|
|
0x00ffffff ; NTP timestamp is 32 bits for whole seconds, 32 bits fraction of
|
|
second.
|
|
|
|
Notes: Packets are time stamped when going out, preferably close to metal.
|
|
Intermediate RTP relays (entities possibly altering the stream) should remove
|
|
the extension or set its own timestamp.
