Hi Alan,

I am not sure what applies a nominal delay means. Is the first packet
defines the start of the jitter buffer and nominal delay is the size of the
fixed jitter buffer.  

When saying that the jitter buffer may increase or reduce is this for the
adaptive jitter buffer?

A typical jitter buffer uses the first packet received as its timing
reference, and applies a nominal delay to that before playing out.  During
later operation, the jitter buffer may increase or reduce the nominal delay
or may pick a new reference packet. This nominal delay represents the "late
window" - so if a packet arrives more than "nominal delay ms" after its
expected time then it will be discarded.

"On time" - in this case - refers to the expected arrival time of the packet
when calculated with reference to the first or a later selected reference
packet.

Jitter buffer implementations don't necessary do this mathematically however
this is a generalized description that models the behavior of most jitter
buffers used for VoIP and Videoconferencing.

Playout buffers used in video streaming applications operate quite
differently. Basically a received chunk of encoded video is added to the
playout buffer - encoded video is read from the buffer. When the buffer
level drops below a threshold then another chunk of video is requested from
the server. There is an equivalent to "nominal delay" as the buffer will
always try to make sure there is at least a minimal level of video in the
buffer before playing out - however there would not be the equivalent of an
"on time" packet.

Regards

Alan

Kevin, Qin,
 
Do you want to discuss this one2one, or should we organize a short
conference call? Do other think that they can contribute to clarify the
issues, or want to participate?

I think we need to have a phone call to discuss this whole thing.

Hi,Kevin:

I like to make some additioal clarification to your question.

I think the packet arrives exactly on time, is also referred to the packet
that has nominal delay.

So we have two ways to address this. 

a. It is more like implementation specific issue,e.g., rely on timing
information in the headers of previous 

packet and current packet or rely on time window to determine this. So we
can leave this to the specific

implemenations. 



b. we can explain the packet that arrives exactly on time as the packet that
has nominal delay.

The nominal delay can either be choosen as the jitter buffer delay for the
packet with minimal delay(i.e., 

the reference packet is choosen as the packet with minmal delay) or average
delay for all the packets that arrives

within the implementation specific time window during the measurement
interval.

I am not sure we should details to talk about this, but If we take (b), we
prefer to add the following sentence in the draft to say:

"Note that the reference packet is generally selected as the packet
 with minimum delay based on the most common criterion (see Sections 1
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6798#section-1>  and 5.1 of [RFC5481
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5481> ]).

"

Let me know what you think about this.



Regards!

Kevin:

As I clarified to you in the previous email, "implemention specific time
window" described in Burst Gap drafts will be used to identify a "packet
that arrives exactly on time".

That is to say, if the receiving packet falls within  implemention specific
time window and can be sucessfully playout, such packet will be regarded as
packet that arrives exactly on time.

Hope this clarifies.



Regards!

-Qin

Qin, 



Of the jitter buffer delay metric, the draft currently says "It is
calculated based on the difference between the receipt time and the playout
time for the packet that arrives exactly on time."



My issue is that I don't know how to identify a "packet that arrives exactly
on time".
