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 for
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 device 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 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 metrics as listed in the table below.
Note:
Software License Key installed on the device.
RTCP XR messages containing key call-quality-related metrics are exchanged periodically
(user-defined) between the device and the SIP UA. This allows an analyzer to monitor
these metrics midstream, or a device to retrieve them using SNMP. The device 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 and according to a user-defined interval
between consecutive reports.
