[Rachel]: Will fix it. Your suggestion makes sense to me.

[Rachel]: No, there's difference. The metric of 'Loss impaired video image duration' is the duration that still have impaired video pictures after applying loss concealments. It's the time length that actually affects the end user's QoE. We change 'loss concealed image duration' to it because we found that 'Concealed Image Duration' was hard to measure since you don't know if it was concealed or not.
 'Loss impaired video image duration' <= total duration of the call - loss free video image duration.

[Rachel]: See above. Do we have to keep the metrics consistency?
