-1. Conventions used in this document
-
- The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
- "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
- document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1].
-
-2. Overview of the Speex Codec
-
- Speex is based on the CELP [10] encoding technique with support for
- either narrowband (nominal 8kHz), wideband (nominal 16kHz) or
- ultra-wideband (nominal 32kHz), and (non-optimal) rates up to 48 kHz
- sampling also available. The main characteristics can be summarized
- as follows:
-
- o Free software/open-source
- o Integration of wideband and narrowband in the same bit-stream
- o Wide range of bit-rates available
- o Dynamic bit-rate switching and variable bit-rate (VBR)
- o Voice Activity Detection (VAD, integrated with VBR)
- o Variable complexity
-
-3. RTP payload format for Speex
-
- For RTP based transportation of Speex encoded audio the standard RTP
- header [2] is followed by one or more payload data blocks. An
- optional padding terminator may also be used.

-
- The RTP header begins with an octet of fields (V, P, X, and CC) to
- support specialized RTP uses (see [2] and [7] for details). For
- Speex the following values are used.
-
- Version (V): 2 bits
-
- This field identifies the version of RTP. The version used by this
- specification is two [2].
-
- Padding (P): 1 bit
-
- If the padding bit is set, the packet contains one or more additional
- padding octets at the end which are not part of the payload. P is
- set if the total packet size is less than the MTU.
-
- Extension (X): 1 bit
-
- If the extension, X, bit is set, the fixed header MUST be followed by
- exactly one header extension, with a format defined in Section 5.3.1.
- of [2].
-
- CSRC count (CC): 4 bits
-
- The CSRC count contains the number of CSRC identifiers.
-
- Marker (M): 1 bit
-
- The M bit indicates if the packet contains comfort noise. This field
- is used in conjunction with the cng SDP attribute and is detailed
- further in section 5 below. In normal usage this bit is set if the
- packet contains comfort noise.
-
- Payload Type (PT): 7 bits
-
- An RTP profile for a class of applications is expected to assign a
- payload type for this format, or a dynamically allocated payload type
- SHOULD be chosen which designates the payload as Speex.
-
- Sequence number: 16 bits
-
- The sequence number increments by one for each RTP data packet sent,
- and may be used by the receiver to detect packet loss and to restore
- packet sequence. This field is detailed further in [2].

-
-Internet-Draft draft-herlein-speex-rtp-profile-02 April 2005
-
-
- Timestamp: 32 bits
-
- A timestamp representing the sampling time of the first sample of the
- first Speex packet in the RTP packet. The clock frequency MUST be
- set to the sample rate of the encoded audio data. Speex uses 20 msec
- frames and a variable sampling rate clock. The RTP timestamp MUST be
- in units of 1/X of a second where X is the sample rate used. Speex
- uses a nominal 8kHz sampling rate for narrowband use, a nominal 16kHz
- sampling rate for wideband use, and a nominal 32kHz sampling rate for
- ultra-wideband use.
-
- SSRC/CSRC identifiers:
-
- These two fields, 32 bits each with one SSRC field and a maximum of
- 16 CSRC fields, are as defined in [2].
-
-5. Speex payload
-
- For the purposes of packetizing the bit stream in RTP, it is only
- necessary to consider the sequence of bits as output by the Speex
- encoder [9], and present the same sequence to the decoder. The
- payload format described here maintains this sequence.
-
- A typical Speex frame, encoded at the maximum bitrate, is approx.
- 110 octets and the total number of Speex frames SHOULD be kept less
- than the path MTU to prevent fragmentation. Speex frames MUST NOT be
- fragmented across multiple RTP packets,
-
- An RTP packet MAY contain Speex frames of the same bit rate or of
- varying bit rates, since the bit-rate for a frame is conveyed in band
- with the signal.
-
- The encoding and decoding algorithm can change the bit rate at any 20
- msec frame boundary, with the bit rate change notification provided
- in-band with the bit stream. Each frame contains both "mode"
- (narrowband, wideband or ultra-wideband) and "sub-mode" (bit-rate)
- information in the bit stream. No out-of-band notification is
- required for the decoder to process changes in the bit rate sent by
- the encoder.
-
- It is RECOMMENDED that values of 8000, 16000 and 32000 be used for
- normal internet telephony applications, though the sample rate is
- supported at rates as low as 6000 Hz and as high as 48 kHz.
-
- The RTP payload MUST be padded to provide an integer number of octets
- as the payload length. These padding bits are LSB aligned in network
- octet order and consist of a 0 followed by all ones (until the end of
- the octet). This padding is only required for the last frame in the
-

-
- packet, and only to ensure the packet contents ends on an octet
- boundary.
-
-6. Example Speex packet
-
- In the example below we have a single Speex frame with 5 bits of
- padding to ensure the packet size falls on an octet boundary.

-7. Multiple Speex frames in a RTP packet
-
- Below is an example of two Speex frames contained within one RTP
- packet. The Speex frame length in this example fall on an octet
- boundary so there is no padding.
-
- Speex codecs [9] are able to detect the the bitrate from the payload
- and are responsible for detecting the 20 msec boundaries between each
- frame.

-
- This transport type signifies that the content is to be interpreted
- according to this document if the contents are transmitted over RTP.
- Should this transport type appear over a lossless streaming protocol
- such as TCP, the content encapsulation should be interpreted as an
- Ogg Stream in accordance with [8], with the exception that the
- content of the Ogg Stream may be assumed to be Speex audio and Speex
- audio only.
-
-9. SDP usage of Speex
-
- When conveying information by SDP [4], the encoding name MUST be set
- to "speex". An example of the media representation in SDP for
- offering a single channel of Speex at 8000 samples per second might
- be:
-
- m=audio 8088 RTP/AVP 97
- a=rtpmap:97 speex/8000
-
- Note that the RTP payload type code of 97 is defined in this media
- definition to be 'mapped' to the speex codec at an 8kHz sampling
- frequency using the 'a=rtpmap' line. Any number from 96 to 127 could
- have been chosen (the allowed range for dynamic types).
-
- The value of the sampling frequency is typically 8000 for narrow band
- operation, 16000 for wide band operation, and 32000 for ultra-wide
- band operation.
-
- If for some reason the offerer has bandwidth limitations, the client
- may use the "b=" header, as explained in SDP [4]. The following
- example illustrates the case where the offerer cannot receive more
- than 10 kbit/s.
-
- m=audio 8088 RTP/AVP 97
- b=AS:10
- a=rtmap:97 speex/8000
-
- In this case, if the remote part agrees, it should configure its
- Speex encoder so that it does not use modes that produce more than 10
- kbit/s. Note that the "b=" constraint also applies on all payload
- types that may be proposed in the media line ("m=").
-
- An other way to make recommendations to the remote Speex encoder is
-
-
-
-Herlein, et al. Expires October 3, 2005 [Page 8]
-
-Internet-Draft draft-herlein-speex-rtp-profile-02 April 2005
-
-
- to use its specific parameters via the a=fmtp: directive. The
- following parameters are defined for use in this way:
-
- ptime: duration of each packet in milliseconds.
-
- sr: actual sample rate in Hz.
-
- ebw: encoding bandwidth - either 'narrow' or 'wide' or 'ultra'
- (corresponds to nominal 8000, 16000, and 32000 Hz sampling rates).
-
- vbr: variable bit rate - either 'on' 'off' or 'vad' (defaults
- to off). If on, variable bit rate is enabled. If off, disabled.
- If set to 'vad' then constant bit rate is used but silence will be
- encoded with special short frames to indicate a lack of voice for
- that period.
-
- cng: comfort noise generation - either 'on' or 'off'. If off
- then silence frames will be silent; if 'on' then those frames will
- be filled with comfort noise.
-
- mode: Speex encoding mode. Can be {1,2,3,4,5,6,any} defaults to
- 3 in narrowband, 6 in wide and ultra-wide.
-
- penh: use of perceptual enhancement. 1 indicates to the decoder
- that perceptual enhancement is recommended, 0 indicates that it is
- not. Defaults to on (1).
-
-
- Examples:
-
- m=audio 8008 RTP/AVP 97
- a=rtpmap:97 speex/8000
- a=fmtp:97 mode=4
-
- This examples illustrate an offerer that wishes to receive a Speex
- stream at 8000Hz, but only using speex mode 3.
-
- The offerer may suggest to the remote decoder to activate its
- perceptual enhancement filter like this:
-
- m=audio 8088 RTP/AVP 97
- a=rtmap:97 speex/8000
- a=fmtp:97 penh=1
-
- Several Speex specific parameters can be given in a single a=fmtp
- line provided that they are separated by a semi-colon:
-
-
-
-
-
-Herlein, et al. Expires October 3, 2005 [Page 9]
-
-Internet-Draft draft-herlein-speex-rtp-profile-02 April 2005
-
-
- a=fmtp:97 mode=any;penh=1
-
- The offerer may indicate that it wishes to send variable bit rate
- frames with comfort noise:
-
- m=audio 8088 RTP/AVP 97
- a=rtmap:97 speex/8000
- a=fmtp:97 vbr=on;cng=on
-
- The "ptime" attribute is used to denote the packetization interval
- (ie, how many milliseconds of audio is encoded in a single RTP
- packet). Since Speex uses 20 msec frames, ptime values of multiples
- of 20 denote multiple Speex frames per packet. Values of ptime which
- are not multiples of 20 MUST be ignored and clients MUST use the
- default value of 20 instead.
-
- In the example below the ptime value is set to 40, indicating that
- there are 2 frames in each packet.
-
- m=audio 8008 RTP/AVP 97
- a=rtpmap:97 speex/8000
- a=ptime:40
-
- Note that the ptime parameter applies to all payloads listed in the
- media line and is not used as part of an a=fmtp directive.
-
- Values of ptime not multiple of 20 msec are meaningless, so the
- receiver of such ptime values MUST ignore them. If during the life
- of an RTP session the ptime value changes, when there are multiple
- Speex frames for example, the SDP value must also reflect the new
- value.
-
- Care must be taken when setting the value of ptime so that the RTP
- packet size does not exceed the path MTU.
-
-10. ITU H.323/H.245 Use of Speex
-
- Application is underway to make Speex a standard ITU codec. However,
- until that is finalized, Speex MAY be used in H.323 [5] by using a
- non-standard codec block definition in the H.245 [6] codec capability
- negotiations.
-
-11. NonStandardMessage format
-
- For Speex use in H.245 [6] based systems, the fields in the
- NonStandardMessage should be:
-

- t35CountryCode = Hex: B5
- t35Extension = Hex: 00
- manufacturerCode = Hex: 0026
- [Length of the Binary Sequence (8 bit number)]
- [Binary Sequence consisting of an ASCII string, no NULL
- terminator]
-
- The binary sequence is an ascii string merely for ease of use. The
- string is not null terminated. The format of this string is
-
- speex [optional variables]
-
- The optional variables are identical to those used for the SDP a=fmtp
- strings discussed in section 5 above. The string is built to be all
- on one line, each key-value pair separated by a semi-colon. The
- optional variables MAY be omitted, which causes the default values to
- be assumed. They are:
-
- ebw=narrow;mode=3;vbr=off;cng=off;ptime=20;sr=8000;penh=no;
-
- The fifth octet of the block is the length of the binary sequence.
-
- NOTE: this method can result in the advertising of a large number of
- Speex 'codecs' based on the number of variables possible. For most
- VoIP applications, use of the default binary sequence of 'speex' is
- RECOMMENDED to be used in addition to all other options. This
- maximizes the chances that two H.323 based applications that support
- Speex can find a mutual codec.
-
-12. RTP Payload Types
-
- Dynamic payload type codes MUST be negotiated 'out-of-band' for the
- assignment of a dynamic payload type from the range of 96-127. H.323
- applications MUST use the H.245 H2250LogicalChannelParameters
- encoding to accomplish this.
-
-13. Security Considerations
-
- RTP packets using the payload format defined in this specification
- are subject to the security considerations discussed in the RTP
- specification [2], and any appropriate RTP profile. This implies
- that confidentiality of the media streams is achieved by encryption.
- Because the data compression used with this payload format is applied
- end-to-end, encryption may be performed after compression so there is
- no conflict between the two operations.
-
- A potential denial-of-service threat exists for data encodings using
- compression techniques that have non-uniform receiver-end
-
-
-
-Herlein, et al. Expires October 3, 2005 [Page 11]

-Internet-Draft draft-herlein-speex-rtp-profile-02 April 2005
-
-
- computational load. The attacker can inject pathological datagrams
- into the stream which are complex to decode and cause the receiver to
- be overloaded. However, this encoding does not exhibit any
- significant non-uniformity.
-
- As with any IP-based protocol, in some circumstances a receiver may
- be overloaded simply by the receipt of too many packets, either
- desired or undesired. Network-layer authentication may be used to
- discard packets from undesired sources, but the processing cost of
- the authentication itself may be too high.
