[Qin]:
Albrrecht, if you follow ealry list discussion on draft-hunt-avt-monarch-01, you will see the rough consensus to position this document was
this daft should focus on guidelines for defining reporting blocks. That is to say the main purpose of MONARCH draft is how to
provide guidelines for the development of new RTCP XR block types in XRBlock working group.
Therefore how and where to collect the metric from RTP endpoint is not scope of this document, in my opinion. since you may have many ways to do this and different vendors have their different appoaches. It will be better to leave this beyond the scope. But you are right, it will be more reasonable to measure QoE related performance metric at the RTP receiver.
Another point is it is not clear to me how RTP monitoring has to do with architectureend to end IP network architecture .
this draft mostly focus on discussing RTP level stuff. Therefore I am quite doubt that we should describe anything in this document like how
RTP entties is mapped into network entities/nodes at the IP layer.
But as the author of this document, I am interested and open to other opinions.:-)
