1. Introduction
TTML (Timed Text Markup Language) [TTML2] is a media type for
describing timed text, such as closed captions and subtitles in
television workflows or broadcasts, as XML. This document specifies
how TTML should be mapped into an RTP stream in streaming workflows,
including (but not restricted to) those described in the television-
broadcast-oriented European Broadcasting Union Timed Text (EBU-TT)
Part 3 [TECH3370] specification. This document does not define a
media type for TTML but makes use of the existing application/
ttml+xml media type [TTML-MTPR].
2. Conventions and Definitions
Unless otherwise stated, the term "document" refers to the TTML
document being transmitted in the payload of the RTP packet(s).
The term "word" refers to a data word aligned to a specified number
of bits in a computing sense and not to linguistic words that might
appear in the transported text.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
3. Media Format Description
3.1. Relation to Other Text Payload Types
Prior payload types for text are not suited to the carriage of closed
captions in television workflows. "RTP Payload for Text
Conversation" [RFC4103] is intended for low data rate conversation
with its own session management and minimal formatting capabilities.
"Definition of Events for Modem, Fax, and Text Telephony Signals"
[RFC4734] deals in large parts with the control signalling of
facsimile and other systems. "RTP Payload Format for 3rd Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP) Timed Text" [RFC4396] describes the
carriage of a timed text format with much more restricted formatting
capabilities than TTML. The lack of an existing format for TTML or
generic XML has necessitated the creation of this payload format.
3.2. TTML2
TTML2 (Timed Text Markup Language, Version 2) [TTML2] is an XML-based
markup language for describing textual information with associated
timing metadata. One of its primary use cases is the description of
subtitles and closed captions. A number of profiles exist that adapt
TTML2 for use in specific contexts [TTML-MTPR]. These include both
file-based and streaming workflows.
4. Payload Format
In addition to the required RTP headers, the payload contains a
section for the TTML document being transmitted (User Data Words) and
a field for the length of that data. Each RTP payload contains one
or part of one TTML document.
A representation of the payload format for TTML is Figure 1.

Figure 1: RTP Payload Format for TTML
4.1. RTP Header Usage
RTP packet header fields SHALL be interpreted, as per [RFC3550], with
the following specifics:
Marker Bit (M): 1 bit
The marker bit is set to "1" to indicate the last packet of a
document. Otherwise, set to "0". Note: The first packet might
also be the last.
Timestamp: 32 bits
The RTP Timestamp encodes the epoch of the TTML document in User
Data Words. Further detail on its usage may be found in
Section 6. The clock frequency used is dependent on the
application and is specified in the media type rate parameter, as
per Section 11.1. Documents spread across multiple packets MUST
use the same timestamp but different consecutive Sequence Numbers.
Sequential documents MUST NOT use the same timestamp. Because
packets do not represent any constant duration, the timestamp
cannot be used to directly infer packet loss.
Reserved: 16 bits
These bits are reserved for future use and MUST be set to 0x0 and
ignored upon reception.
Length: 16 bits
The length of User Data Words in bytes.
User Data Words: The length of User Data Words MUST match the
value specified in the Length field
The User Data Words section contains the text of the whole
document being transmitted or a part of the document being
transmitted. Documents using character encodings where characters
are not represented by a single byte MUST be serialised in big-
endian order, a.k.a., network byte order. Where a document will
not fit within the Path MTU, it may be fragmented across multiple
packets. Further detail on fragmentation may be found in
Section 8.
4.2. Payload Data
TTML documents define a series of changes to text over time. TTML
documents carried in User Data Words are encoded in accordance with
one or more of the defined TTML profiles specified in the TTML
registry [TTML-MTPR]. These profiles specify the document structure
used, systems models, timing, and other considerations. TTML
profiles may restrict the complexity of the changes, and operational
requirements may limit the maximum duration of TTML documents by a
deployment configuration. Both of these cases are out of scope of
this document.
Documents carried over RTP MUST conform to the following profile, in
addition to any others used.
5. Payload Content Restrictions
This section defines constraints on the content of TTML documents
carried over RTP.
Multiple TTML subtitle streams MUST NOT be interleaved in a single
RTP stream.
The TTML document instance's root "tt" element in the
"http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml" namespace MUST include a "timeBase"
attribute in the "http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml#parameter" namespace
containing the value "media".
This is equivalent to the TTML2 content profile definition document
in Figure 2.

6. Payload Processing Requirements
This section defines constraints on the processing of the TTML
documents carried over RTP.
If a TTML document is assessed to be invalid, then it MUST be
discarded. This includes empty documents, i.e., those of zero
length. When processing a valid document, the following requirements
apply.
Each TTML document becomes active at its epoch E. E MUST be set to
the RTP Timestamp in the header of the RTP packet carrying the TTML
document. Computed TTML media times are offset relative to E, in
accordance with Section I.2 of [TTML2].
When processing a sequence of TTML documents, where each is delivered
in the same RTP stream, exactly zero or one document SHALL be
considered active at each moment in the RTP time line. In the event
that a document D_(n-1) with E_(n-1) is active, and document D_(n) is
delivered with E_(n) where E_(n-1) < E_(n), processing of D_(n-1)
MUST be stopped at E_(n) and processing of D_(n) MUST begin.
When all defined content within a document has ended, then processing
of the document MAY be stopped. This can be tested by constructing
the intermediate synchronic document sequence from the document, as
defined by [TTML2]. If the last intermediate synchronic document in
the sequence is both active and contains no region elements, then all
defined content within the document has ended.
As described above, the RTP Timestamp does not specify the exact
timing of the media in this payload format. Additionally, documents
may be fragmented across multiple packets. This renders the RTCP
jitter calculation unusable.
6.1. TTML Processor Profile
6.1.1. Feature Extension Designation
This specification defines the following TTML feature extension
designation:
"urn:ietf:rfc:8759#rtp-relative-media-time"
The namespace "urn:ietf:rfc:8759" is as defined by [RFC2648].
A TTML content processor supports the "#rtp-relative-media-time"
feature extension if it processes media times in accordance with the
payload processing requirements specified in this document, i.e.,
that the epoch E is set to the time equivalent to the RTP Timestamp,
as detailed above in Section 6.
6.1.2. Processor Profile Document
The required syntax and semantics declared in the minimal TTML2
processor profile in Figure 3 MUST be supported by the receiver, as
signified by those "feature" or "extension" elements whose "value"
attribute is set to "required".

Documents Carried over RTP
Note that this requirement does not imply that the receiver needs to
support either TTML1 or TTML2 profile processing, i.e., the TTML2
"#profile-full-version-2" feature or any of its dependent features.
6.1.3. Processor Profile Signalling
The "codecs" media type parameter MUST specify at least one processor
profile. Short codes for TTML profiles are registered at
[TTML-MTPR]. The processor profiles specified in "codecs" MUST be
compatible with the processor profile specified in this document.
Where multiple options exist in "codecs" for possible processor
profile combinations (i.e., separated by "|" operator), every
permitted option MUST be compatible with the processor profile
specified in this document. Where processor profiles (other than the
one specified in this document) are advertised in the "codecs"
parameter, the requirements of the processor profile specified in
this document MAY be signalled, additionally using the "+" operator
with its registered short code.
A processor profile (X) is compatible with the processor profile
specified here (P) if X includes all the features and extensions in P
(identified by their character content) and the "value" attribute of
each is, at least, as restrictive as the "value" attribute of the
feature or extension in P that has the same character content. The
term "restrictive" here is as defined in Section 6 of [TTML2].
7. Payload Examples

8. Fragmentation of TTML Documents
Many of the use cases for TTML are low bit-rate with RTP packets
expected to fit within the Path MTU. However, some documents may
exceed the Path MTU. In these cases, they may be split between
multiple packets. Where fragmentation is used, the following
guidelines MUST be followed:
* It is RECOMMENDED that documents be fragmented as seldom as
possible, i.e., the least possible number of fragments is created
out of a document.
* Text strings MUST split at character boundaries. This enables
decoding of partial documents. As a consequence, document
fragmentation requires knowledge of the UTF-8/UTF-16 encoding
formats to determine character boundaries.
* Document fragments SHOULD be protected against packet losses.
More information can be found in Section 9.
When a document spans more than one RTP packet, the entire document
is obtained by concatenating User Data Words from each consecutive
contributing packet in ascending order of Sequence Number.
As described in Section 6, only zero or one TTML document may be
active at any point in time. As such, there MUST only be one
document transmitted for a given RTP Timestamp. Furthermore, as
stated in Section 4.1, the marker bit MUST be set for a packet
containing the last fragment of a document. A packet following one
where the marker bit is set contains the first fragment of a new
document. The first fragment might also be the last.
9. Protection against Loss of Data
Consideration must be devoted to keeping loss of documents due to
packet loss within acceptable limits. What is deemed acceptable
limits is dependent on the TTML profile(s) used and use case, among
other things. As such, specific limits are outside the scope of this
document.
Documents MAY be sent without additional protection if end-to-end
network conditions guarantee that document loss will be within
acceptable limits under all anticipated load conditions. Where such
guarantees cannot be provided, implementations MUST use a mechanism
to protect against packet loss. Potential mechanisms include Forward
Error Correction (FEC) [RFC5109], retransmission [RFC4588],
duplication [ST2022-7], or an equivalent technique.
10. Congestion Control Considerations
Congestion control for RTP SHALL be used in accordance with [RFC3550]
and with any applicable RTP profile, e.g., [RFC3551]. "Multimedia
Congestion Control: Circuit Breakers for Unicast RTP Sessions"
[RFC8083] is an update to "RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-time
Applications" [RFC3550], which defines criteria for when one is
required to stop sending RTP packet streams. Applications
implementing this standard MUST comply with [RFC8083], with
particular attention paid to Section 4.4 on Media Usability.
[RFC8085] provides additional information on the best practices for
applying congestion control to UDP streams.
11. Payload Format Parameters
This RTP payload format is identified using the existing application/
ttml+xml media type as registered with IANA [IANA] and defined in
[TTML-MTPR].
11.1. Clock Rate
The default clock rate for TTML over RTP is 1000 Hz. The clock rate
SHOULD be included in any advertisements of the RTP stream where
possible. This parameter has not been added to the media type
definition as it is not applicable to TTML usage other than within
RTP streams. In other contexts, timing is defined within the TTML
document.
When choosing a clock rate, implementers should consider what other
media their TTML streams may be used in conjunction with (e.g., video
or audio). In these situations, it is RECOMMENDED that streams use
the same clock source and clock rate as the related media. As TTML
streams may be aperiodic, implementers should also consider the
frequency range over which they expect packets to be sent and the
temporal resolution required.
11.2. Session Description Protocol (SDP) Considerations
The mapping of the application/ttml+xml media type and its parameters
[TTML-MTPR] SHALL be done according to Section 3 of [RFC4855].
* The type name "application" goes in SDP "m=" as the media name.
* The media subtype "ttml+xml" goes in SDP "a=rtpmap" as the
encoding name.
* The clock rate also goes in "a=rtpmap" as the clock rate.
Additional format-specific parameters, as described in the media type
specification, SHALL be included in the SDP file in "a=fmtp" as a
semicolon-separated list of "parameter=value" pairs, as described in
[RFC4855]. The "codecs" parameter MUST be included in the "a=fmtp"
line of the SDP file. Specific requirements for the "codecs"
parameter are included in Section 6.1.3.
11.2.1. Examples
A sample SDP mapping is presented in Figure 5.
m=application 30000 RTP/AVP 112
a=rtpmap:112 ttml+xml/90000
a=fmtp:112 charset=utf-8;codecs=im2t
Figure 5: Example SDP Mapping
In this example, a dynamic payload type 112 is used. The 90 kHz RTP
timestamp rate is specified in the "a=rtpmap" line after the subtype.
The codecs parameter defined in the "a=fmtp" line indicates that the
TTML data conforms to Internet Media and Captions (IMSC) 1.1 Text
profile [TTML-IMSC1.1].
12. IANA Considerations
This document has no IANA actions.
13. Security Considerations
RTP packets using the payload format defined in this specification
are subject to the security considerations discussed in the RTP
specification [RFC3550] and in any applicable RTP profile, such as
RTP/AVP [RFC3551], RTP/AVPF [RFC4585], RTP/SAVP [RFC3711], or RTP/
SAVPF [RFC5124]. However, as "Securing the RTP Protocol Framework:
Why RTP Does Not Mandate a Single Media Security Solution" [RFC7202]
discusses, it is not an RTP payload format's responsibility to
discuss or mandate what solutions are used to meet the basic security
goals (like confidentiality, integrity, and source authenticity) for
RTP in general. This responsibility lays on anyone using RTP in an
application. They can find guidance on available security mechanisms
and important considerations in "Options for Securing RTP Sessions"
[RFC7201]. Applications SHOULD use one or more appropriate strong
security mechanisms. The rest of this Security Considerations
section discusses the security impacting properties of the payload
format itself.
To avoid potential buffer overflow attacks, receivers should take
care to validate that the User Data Words in the RTP payload are of
the appropriate length (using the Length field).
This payload format places no specific restrictions on the size of
TTML documents that may be transmitted. As such, malicious
implementations could be used to perform denial-of-service (DoS)
attacks. [RFC4732] provides more information on DoS attacks and
describes some mitigation strategies. Implementers should take into
consideration that the size and frequency of documents transmitted
using this format may vary over time. As such, sender
implementations should avoid producing streams that exhibit DoS-like
behaviour, and receivers should avoid false identification of a
legitimate stream as malicious.
As with other XML types and as noted in Section 10 of "XML Media
Types" [RFC7303], repeated expansion of maliciously constructed XML
entities can be used to consume large amounts of memory, which may
cause XML processors in constrained environments to fail.
In addition, because of the extensibility features for TTML and of
XML in general, it is possible that "application/ttml+xml" may
describe content that has security implications beyond those
described here. However, TTML does not provide for any sort of
active or executable content, and if the processor follows only the
normative semantics of the published specification, this content will
be outside TTML namespaces and may be ignored. Only in the case
where the processor recognizes and processes the additional content
or where further processing of that content is dispatched to other
processors would security issues potentially arise. And in that
case, they would fall outside the domain of this RTP payload format
and the application/ttml+xml registration document.
Although not prohibited, there are no expectations that XML
signatures or encryption would normally be employed.
Further information related to privacy and security at a document
level can be found in Appendix P of [TTML2].
