Abstract Abstract
RTP allows multiple media streams to be sent in a single session, but RTP allows multiple RTP streams to be sent in a single session, but
requires each Synchronisation Source (SSRC) to send RTCP reception requires each Synchronisation Source (SSRC) to send RTCP reception
quality reports for every other SSRC visible in the session. This quality reports for every other SSRC visible in the session. This
causes the number of RTCP reception reports to grow with the number causes the number of RTCP reception reports to grow with the number
of SSRCs, rather than the number of endpoints. In many cases most of of SSRCs, rather than the number of endpoints. In many cases most of
these RTCP reception reports are unnecessary, since all SSRCs of an these RTCP reception reports are unnecessary, since all SSRCs of an
endpoint are co-located and see the same reception quality. This endpoint are normally co-located and see the same reception quality.

1. Introduction 1. Introduction
The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550] is a protocol for The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550] is a protocol for
group communication, supporting multiparty multimedia sessions. A group communication, supporting multiparty multimedia sessions. A
single RTP session can support multiple participants sending at once, single RTP session can support multiple participants sending at once,
and can also support participants sending multiple simultaneous media and can also support participants sending multiple simultaneous RTP
streams. Examples of the latter might include a participant with streams. Examples of the latter might include a participant with
multiple cameras who chooses to send multiple views of a scene, or a multiple cameras who chooses to send multiple views of a scene, or a
participant that sends audio and video flows multiplexed in a single participant that sends audio and video flows multiplexed in a single
RTP session. Rules for handling RTP sessions containing multiple RTP session. Rules for handling RTP sessions containing multiple RTP
media streams are described in [RFC3550] with some clarifications in streams are described in [RFC3550] with some clarifications in
[I-D.ietf-avtcore-rtp-multi-stream]. [I-D.ietf-avtcore-rtp-multi-stream].
An RTP endpoint will have one or more synchronisation sources (SSRCs) An RTP endpoint will have one or more synchronisation sources
that send media streams. It will have at least one SSRC for each (SSRCs). It will have at least one RTP Stream, and thus SSRC, for
media stream it sends, and might use multiple SSRCs when using media each media source it sends, and might use multiple SSRCs per media

retransmission [RFC4588], or similar mechanisms. An endpoint that is correction, RTP retransmission [RFC4588], or similar mechanisms. An
not sending any media streams, will have at least one SSRC to use for endpoint that is not sending any RTP stream, will have at least one
reporting and any feedback messages. Each SSRC has to send RTCP SSRC to use for reporting and any feedback messages. Each SSRC has
sender reports corresponding to the RTP packets it sends, and to send RTCP sender reports corresponding to the RTP packets it
receiver reports for traffic it receives. That is, every SSRC will sends, and receiver reports for traffic it receives. That is, every

numbers of media streams in a single RTP session. Consider a session numbers of RTP streams in a single RTP session. Consider a session
comprising ten participants, each sending three media streams with comprising ten participants, each sending three media sources, each
their own SSRC. There will be 30 SSRCs in such an RTP session, and with their own RTP stream. There will be 30 SSRCs in such an RTP
each of those 30 SSRCs will send an RTCP Sender Report/Receiver session, and each of those 30 SSRCs will send an RTCP Sender Report/
Report packet (containing several report blocks) per reporting Receiver Report packet (containing several report blocks) per
interval as each SSRC reports on all the others. However, the three reporting interval as each SSRC reports on all the others. However,
SSRCs comprising each participant will almost certainly see identical the three SSRCs comprising each participant are commonly co-located
reception quality, since they are co-located. If there was a way to such that they see identical reception quality. If there was a way
indicate that several SSRCs are co-located, and see the same to indicate that several SSRCs are co-located, and see the same
reception quality, then two-thirds of those RTCP reports could be reception quality, then two-thirds of those RTCP reports could be
suppressed. This would allow the remaining RTCP reports to be sent suppressed. This would allow the remaining RTCP reports to be sent
more often, while keeping within the same RTCP bandwidth fraction. more often, while keeping within the same RTCP bandwidth fraction.
