The sender report packet consists of three sections, possibly
followed by a fourth profile-specific extension section if defined.
The first section, the header, is 8 octets long. The fields have the
following meaning:
Schulzrinne, et al Standards Track [Page 23]
RFC 1889 RTP January 1996
version (V): 2 bits
Identifies the version of RTP, which is the same in RTCP packets
as in RTP data packets. The version defined by this
specification is two (2).
padding (P): 1 bit
If the padding bit is set, this RTCP packet contains some
additional padding octets at the end which are not part of the
control information. The last octet of the padding is a count of
how many padding octets should be ignored. Padding may be needed
by some encryption algorithms with fixed block sizes. In a
compound RTCP packet, padding should only be required on the
last individual packet because the compound packet is encrypted
as a whole.
reception report count (RC): 5 bits
The number of reception report blocks contained in this packet.
A value of zero is valid.
packet type (PT): 8 bits
Contains the constant 200 to identify this as an RTCP SR packet.
length: 16 bits
The length of this RTCP packet in 32-bit words minus one,
including the header and any padding. (The offset of one makes
zero a valid length and avoids a possible infinite loop in
scanning a compound RTCP packet, while counting 32-bit words
avoids a validity check for a multiple of 4.)
SSRC: 32 bits
The synchronization source identifier for the originator of this
SR packet.
The second section, the sender information, is 20 octets long and is
present in every sender report packet. It summarizes the data
transmissions from this sender. The fields have the following
meaning:
