Abstract Abstract
RTP allows multiple media streams to be sent in a single session, but RTP allows multiple media streams to be sent in a single session, but
requires each Synchronisation Source (SSRC) to send RTCP reception requires each Synchronisation Source (SSRC) to send RTCP reception
quality reports for every other SSRC visible in the session. This quality reports for every other SSRC visible in the session. This
causes the number of RTCP reception reports to grow with the number causes the number of RTCP reception reports to grow with the number
of SSRCs, rather than the number of endpoints. In many cases most of of SSRCs, rather than the number of endpoints. In many cases most of
these RTCP reception reports are unnecessary, since all SSRCs of an these RTCP reception reports are unnecessary, since all SSRCs of an
endpoint are co-located and see the same reception quality. This endpoint are co-located and see the same reception quality. This

not sending any media streams, will have at least one SSRC to use for not sending any media streams, will have at least one SSRC to use for

sender reports corresponding to the RTP packets it sends, and sender reports corresponding to the RTP packets it sends, and
receiver reports for traffic it receives. That is, every SSRC will receiver reports for traffic it receives. That is, every SSRC will
