      <t>This specification describes an RTP payload format for the VP9 video codec.
      The payload format has wide applicability, applicability as it supports applications
      from low bit-rate bitrate peer-to-peer usage, usage to high bit-rate bitrate video
      conferences.  It includes provisions for temporal and spatial scalability.</t>

      <t>The VP9 codec can maintain up to eight reference frames, of
      which up to three can be referenced by any new frame.</t>
      <t>VP9 also allows a frame to use another frame of a different
      resolution as a reference frame.  (Specifically, a frame may use
      any references whose width and height are between 1/16th that of
      the current frame and twice that of the current frame,
      inclusive.)  This allows internal resolution changes without
      requiring the use of key frames.</t> keyframes.</t>
      <t>These features together enable an encoder to
      implement various forms of coarse-grained scalability,
      including temporal, spatial spatial, and quality scalability modes, as
      well as combinations of these, without the need for explicit
      scalable coding tools.</t>
      <t>Temporal layers define different frame rates of video;
      spatial and quality layers define different and possibly dependent
      representations of a single input frame.  Spatial layers allow
      a frame to be encoded at different resolutions, whereas
      quality layers allow a frame to be encoded at the same
      resolution but at different qualities (and thus (and, thus, with different
      amounts of coding error).  VP9 supports quality layers as
      spatial layers without any resolution changes; hereinafter,
      the term "spatial layer" is used to represent both spatial and
      quality layers.</t>
      <t>This payload format specification defines how such
      temporal and spatial scalability layers can be described and
      communicated.</t>
      <t>Temporal and spatial scalability layers are associated with
	  non-negative integer IDs. The lowest layer of either type has an
	  ID of 0, 0 and is sometimes referred to as the "base" temporal or
	  spatial layer.</t>
      <t>Layers are designed, and MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be encoded, such that if
      any layer, and all higher layers, are removed from the bitstream
      along either the spatial or temporal dimension, the remaining bitstream is
      still correctly decodable.</t>

      <t>For terminology, this document uses the term "frame" to refer to a
      single encoded VP9 frame for a particular resolution/quality, resolution and/or quality, and
      "picture" to refer to all the representations (frames) at a single
      instant in time.  A  Thus, a picture thus consists of one or more frames,
      encoding different spatial layers.</t>

      <t>Within a picture, a frame with spatial layer
      spatial-layer ID equal to SID, S, where SID > S &gt; 0, can depend on a frame
      of the same picture with a lower spatial layer spatial-layer ID.  This "inter-layer"
      dependency can result in additional coding gain compared to the case
      where only
      traditional "inter-picture" dependency is used, where a frame
      depends on a previously coded frame in time.  For simplicity, this
      payload format assumes that, within a picture and if inter-layer
      dependency is used, a spatial layer SID spatial-layer S frame can depend only on the
      immediately previous spatial layer SID-1 spatial-layer S-1 frame, when S > &gt; 0.
      Additionally, if inter-picture dependency is used, a spatial layer SID spatial-layer S
      frame is assumed to only depend on a previously coded spatial layer SID spatial-layer S
      frame.</t>

      <t>Given the above simplifications for inter-layer and inter-picture
      dependencies, a flag (the D bit described below) is used to indicate
      whether a
      spatial layer spatial-layer SID frame depends on the spatial layer spatial-layer SID-1
      frame.  Given the D bit, a receiver only needs to additionally know the
      inter-picture dependency structure for a given
      spatial layer spatial-layer frame in
      order to determine its decodability.  Two modes of describing the
      inter-picture dependency structure are possible: "flexible mode" and
      "non-flexible mode".  An encoder can only switch between the two on the
      first packet of a key frame keyframe with temporal
      layer a temporal-layer ID equal to 0.</t>
      <t>In flexible mode, each packet can contain up to 3 three reference indices,
      which identify all frames referenced by the frame transmitted in the
      current packet for inter-picture prediction.  This (along with the D
      bit) enables a receiver to identify if a frame is decodable or not and
      helps it understand the temporal layer temporal-layer structure.  Since this is
      signaled in each packet packet, it makes it possible to have very flexible temporal layer
      hierarchies,
      temporal-layer hierarchies and scalability structures structures, which are
      changing dynamically.</t>
      <t>In non-flexible mode, frames are encoded using a fixed, recurring pattern of dependencies;
      the set of pictures that recur in this pattern is known as a Picture Group (PG). "Picture Group" (or "PG").
      In this mode, the inter-picture dependencies (the reference
      indices) of the Picture Group MUST PG <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be pre-specified as part of the
      scalability structure
      Scalability Structure (SS) data.
      Each
      packet has an index to refer to one of the described pictures
      in the PG, PG from which the pictures referenced by the picture transmitted in the current packet
      for inter-picture prediction can be identified.</t>

	  <t>(Note:

<aside>
      <t>Note: A "Picture Group", Group" or "PG", as used in this document,
	  is not the same thing as the term "Group of Pictures" as
	  it is traditionally commonly used in video coding, i.e. i.e., to mean an
	  independently-decoadable
	  independently decodable run of pictures beginning with a
	  keyframe.)</t>
	  keyframe.</t>
      <t>The SS data can also be used to specify the resolution of each
      spatial layer present in the VP9 stream for both flexible and non-flexible modes.</t> modes.</t></aside>

        <name>Scalable Encoding Considerations</name>
        <t>In addition to the use of reference frames, VP9 has several
		additional forms of inter-frame dependencies, largely
		involving probability tables for the entropy and tree
		encoders.  In VP9 syntax, the syntax element
		"error_resilient_mode" resets this additional inter-frame
		data, allowing a frame's syntax to be decoded
		independently.</t>
        <t>Due to the requirements of scalable streams, a VP9 encoder
		producing a scalable stream needs to ensure that a frame does
		not depend on a previous frame (of the same or a previous
		picture) that can legitimately be removed from the stream.
		Thus, a frame that follows a frame that might be removed (in full decode
		order) MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be encoded with "error_resilient_mode" set to
		true.</t>
        <t>For spatially-scalable spatially scalable streams, this means that
		"error_resilient_mode" needs to be turned on for the base
		spatial layer; however, it can however be turned off for higher spatial
		layers, assuming they are sent with inter-layer dependency
		(i.e.
		(i.e., with the "D" D bit set).  For streams that are only
		temporally-scalable
		temporally scalable without spatial scalability,
		"error_resilient_mode" can additionally be turned off for any
		picture that immediately follows a temporal layer temporal-layer 0 frame.</t>

        <name>Reference Picture Selection Indication (RPSI)"> (RPSI)</name>
        <t>The reference picture selection index RPSI is a payload-specific
        feedback message defined within the RTCP-based feedback format. The
        RPSI message is generated by a receiver and can be used in two ways.
        Either ways:
        either it can signal a preferred reference picture when a loss has
        been detected by the decoder -- preferably then (preferably a reference that the decoder
        knows is perfect -- or, perfect) or it can be used as positive feedback information
        to acknowledge correct decoding of certain reference pictures. The
        positive feedback method is useful for VP9 used for
        point to point point-to-point
        (unicast) communication. The use of RPSI for VP9 is preferably
        combined with a special update pattern of the codec's two special
        reference frames -- the golden frame and the altref frame -- in which they
        are updated in an alternating leapfrog fashion. When a receiver has
        received and correctly decoded a golden or altref frame, and that
        frame had a Picture ID in the payload descriptor, the receiver can
        acknowledge this simply by sending an RPSI message back to the
        sender. The message body (i.e., the "native RPSI bit string" in <xref target="RFC4585"/>)
        target="RFC4585" format="default"/>) is simply the (7 (7- or 15 bit) 15-bit)
        Picture ID of the received frame.</t>

        <t><xref target="figureLRRIndexFormat"/> target="figureLRRIndexFormat" format="default"/> shows the format

<t>Identification of a layer refresh frame can be derived from
		the reference IDs of each frame by backtracking the dependency
		chain until reaching a point where only decodable frames are
		being referenced. Therefore Therefore, it's recommended for both the
		flexible and the non-flexible mode that, when switching up
		points are being encoded in response to a an LRR, those packets should
		contain layer indices and the reference field(s) field or fields so
		that the decoder or a <xref target='RFC7667'>selective target="RFC7667"
		format="default">selective forwarding middleboxes</xref> can
		make this derivation.</t>
        <t>Example:</t>
        <t>LRR {1,0}, {2,1} is sent by an MCU a Multipoint Control
   Unit (MCU) when it is currently
	  relaying {1,0} to a receiver and which that wants to upgrade to
	  {2,1}. In response response, the encoder should encode the next frames
	  in layers {1,1} and {2,1} by only referring to frames in
	  {1,0},
	  {1,0} or {0,0}.</t>
        <t>In the non-flexible mode, periodic upgrade frames can be defined by
        the layer structure of the SS, thus SS; thus, periodic upgrade frames can be
        automatically identified by the picture Picture ID.</t>

      <t>Implementations of this RTP payload format need to take appropriate
      security considerations into account.  It is extremely important for the
      decoder to be robust against malicious or malformed payloads and ensure
      that they do not cause the decoder to overrun its allocated memory or
      otherwise mis-behave. misbehave.  An overrun in allocated memory could lead to
      arbitrary code execution by an attacker.  The same applies to the
      encoder, even though problems in encoders are typically (typically) rarer.</t>
      <t>This RTP payload format and its media decoder do not exhibit any
      significant non-uniformity in the receiver-side computational complexity
      for packet
      processing, and thus processing; thus, they are unlikely to pose a denial-of-service
      threat due to the receipt of pathological data. Nor does the RTP payload
