Enhancements to CRTP draft-koren-avt-crtp-enhance-01.txt T. Koren, S. Casner, P. Ruddy, B. Thompson, A. Tweedly, D. Wing Cisco Systems John Geevarghese Motorola India
CRTP does not perform well on links with packet loss and long round trip delays Packet loss causes context invalidation CRTP error recovery mechanism using CONTEXT_STATE messages is not efficient due to the long round trip delay. The suggested enhancements make CRTP more robust and resilient to packet loss, which in turn will reduce context invalidation. Why Enhance CRTP
When will a lost packet cause context invalidation? Packet includes changes to context state fields New delta value Significant packet: its loss causes context invalidation Packet Loss andContext Invalidation
Sample sent every 10 ms The first talk spurt is 1 second long. Then there are 2 seconds silence Then another talk spurt. Example Audio Stream
FH - FULL_HEADER CR - COMPRESSED_RTP CU - COMPRESSED_UDP CS - CONTEXT_STATE T, dT - RTP timestamp (absolute and delta) S, dS - RTP seq# (absolute and delta) I, dI - IP ID (absolute and delta) pt - RTP payload type CC - Number of CSRC identifiers Shortcuts

UDP checksum is used to verify validity of reconstructed packets Reconstructed IP ID cannot be verified Include IP ID in UDP checksum Including IP ID in the UDP Checksum
When UDP checksum is present (nonzero) The compressor will 1's complement subtract the IP ID value from the UDP checksum before compression The decompressor will 1's complement add the IP ID value to the UDP checksum after any validation operations and before delivering the packet further downstream. Including IP ID in the UDP Checksum (cont.)
UDP Checksum used to validate reconstructed packets, especially when ‘twice’ was used When UDP checksum is not present, CRTP may add Headers Checksum (HDRCKSUM) Headers Checksum
HDRCKSUM includes: Pseudo-IP Header UDP Header Fixed part of RTP Header (first 12 bytes) IP ID Does not include: The extended part of the RTP header RTP data HDRCKSUM
Calculated in the same way as a UDP checksum Placed in the COMPRESSED_UDP or COMPRESSED_RTP packets where a UDP checksum would have been The decompressor MUST zero out the UDP checksum field in the reconstructed packets HDRCKSUM (cont.)
Notifies the decompressor that this stream is not an RTP stream Decompressor can enter flow in negative cache without RTP compression attempts Less CID thrashing Useful for application nodes where compressor has hints from application layer. NON-RTP stream flag
NON-RTP stream flag in the FULL_HEADER packet New FULL_HEADER length fields format: For 8-bit context ID: 0 1 Generation CID 0 U Seq # For 16-bit context ID: 1 1 Generation 0 U Seq # CID Set U = 1 to indicate a non-RTP stream
Decompressor implementations may share resources across multiple links Decompressor may over commit decompression resources in RFC 2509 negotiation Decompressor may REJECT a compressed steam when out of resources Rejecting a new compressed stream
Reject packet (Using CONTEXT_STATE opcode) 1=CS, Reject 8-bit CID 2=CS, Reject 16-bit CID context count context count session context ID session context ID 1 1 0 0 CRTP seq# 0 0 generation 1 1 0 0 CRTP seq # 0 0 generation CID, CRTP sequence# and generation are taken from the FULL_HEADER
RFC 2509 specifies how the use of CRTP is negotiated on PPP links using the IP Compression Protocol option of IPCP: IPCP option 2: IP compression protocol protocol 0x61 indicates RFC 2507 header compression sub-option 1 enables use of COMPRESSED_RTP, COMPRESSED_UDP and CONTEXT_STATE as specified in RFC 2508 Negotiating usage of enhanced-CRTP andACK scheme
For the enhancements defined in this document, two new sub-options are added: sub-option 2 (length=2) : enables use of all CRTP enhancements except for the ACK scheme sub-option 3 (length=2) : enables use of all CRTP enhancements including the ACK scheme Negotiating usage of enhanced-CRTP andACK scheme (cont.)
