Abstract

This document defines a set of WebIDL objects that allow access to the statistical information about a RTCPeerConnection.

These objects are returned from the getStats API that is specified in [WEBRTC].

Status of This Document

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at https://www.w3.org/TR/.

Since the previous publication as a Candidate Recommendation, the stats objects were significantly reorganized to better match the underlying data sources. In addition, the networkType property was deprecated for preserving privacy, and the statsended event was removed as no longer needed.

This document was published by the Web Real-Time Communications Working Group as a Candidate Recommendation Draft using the Recommendation track.

Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply endorsement by W3C and its Members. A Candidate Recommendation Draft integrates changes from the previous Candidate Recommendation that the Working Group intends to include in a subsequent Candidate Recommendation Snapshot.

This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.

This document was produced by a group operating under the W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.

This document is governed by the 2 November 2021 W3C Process Document.

1. Introduction

This section is non-normative.

Audio, video, or data packets transmitted over a peer-connection can be lost, and experience varying amounts of network delay. A web application implementing WebRTC expects to monitor the performance of the underlying network and media pipeline.

This document defines the statistic identifiers used by the web application to extract metrics from the user agent.

2. Conformance

As well as sections marked as non-normative, all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.

The key words MAY, MUST, MUST NOT, and SHOULD 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.

This specification defines the conformance criteria that applies to a single product: the user agent.

Implementations that use ECMAScript to implement the objects defined in this specification MUST implement them in a manner consistent with the ECMAScript Bindings defined in the Web IDL specification [WEBIDL], as this document uses that specification and terminology.

This specification does not define what objects a conforming implementation should generate. Specifications that refer to this specification have the need to specify conformance. They should put in their document text that could like this (EXAMPLE ONLY):

3. Terminology

The terms RTCPeerConnection, RTCDataChannel, RTCDtlsTransport, RTCDtlsTransportState, RTCIceTransport, RTCIceRole, RTCIceTransportState, RTCDataChannelState, RTCIceCandidateType, RTCStats, RTCCertificate are defined in [WEBRTC].

RTCPriorityType is defined in [WEBRTC-PRIORITY].

The term RTP stream is defined in [RFC7656].

The terms Synchronization Source (SSRC), RTCP Sender Report, RTCP Receiver Report are defined in [RFC3550].

The term RTCP Extended Report is defined in [RFC3611].

An audio sample refers to having a sample in any channel of an audio track - if multiple audio channels are used, metrics based on samples do not increment at a higher rate, simultaneously having samples in multiple channels counts as a single sample.

4. Basic concepts

The basic object of the stats model is the stats object. The following terms are defined to describe it:

Monitored object

An internal object that keeps a set of data values. Most monitored objects are object defined in the WebRTC API; they may be thought of as being internal properties of those objects.

Stats object
This is a set of values, copied out from a monitored object at a specific moment in time. It is returned as a WebIDL dictionary through the getStats API call.
Stats object reference

A monitored object has a stable identifier id, which is reflected in all stats objects produced from the monitored object. Stats objects may contain references to other stats objects using this id value. In a stats object, these references are represented by a DOMString containing id value of the referenced stats object.

All stats object references have type DOMString and member names ending in Id, or they have type sequence<DOMString> and member names ending in Ids.

Stats value
Refers to a single value within a stats object.

A monitored object changes the values it contains continuously over its lifetime, but is never visible through the getStats API call. A stats object, once returned, never changes.

The stats API is defined in [WEBRTC]. It is defined to return a collection of stats objects, each of which is a dictionary inheriting directly or indirectly from the RTCStats dictionary. This API is normatively defined in [WEBRTC], but is reproduced here for ease of reference.

WebIDLdictionary RTCStats {
    required DOMHighResTimeStamp timestamp;
    required RTCStatsType        type;
    required DOMString           id;
};

Timestamps are expressed with DOMHighResTimeStamp [HIGHRES-TIME], and are defined as Performance.timeOrigin + Performance.now() at the time the information is collected.

4.1 Guidelines for design of stats objects

When introducing a new stats object, the following principles should be followed:

The new members of the stats dictionary need to be named according to standard practice (camelCase), as per [API-DESIGN-PRINCIPLES].

Names ending in Id (such as transportId) are always a stats object reference; names ending in Ids (such as trackIds) are always of type sequence<DOMString>, where each DOMString is a stats object reference.

If the natural name for a stats value would end in id (such as when the stats value is an in-protocol identifier for the monitored object), the recommended practice is to let the name end in identifier, such as dataChannelIdentifier.

Stats are sampled by Javascript. In general, an application will not have overall control over how often stats are sampled, and the implementation cannot know what the intended use of the stats is. There is, by design, no control surface for the application to influence how stats are generated.

Therefore, letting the implementation compute "average" rates is not a good idea, since that implies some averaging time interval that can't be set beforehand. Instead, the recommended approach is to count the number of measurements of a value and sum the measurements given even if the sum is meaningless in itself; the JS application can then compute averages over any desired time interval by calling getStats() twice, taking the difference of the two sums and dividing by the difference of the two counts.

For stats that are measured against time, such as byte counts, no separate counter is needed; one can instead divide by the difference in the timestamps.

4.2 Guidelines for implementing stats objects

When implementing stats objects, the following guidelines should be adhered to:

4.3 Lifetime considerations for monitored objects

The object descriptions will say what the lifetime of a monitored object from the perspective of stats is. When a monitored object is deleted, it no longer appears in stats; until this happens, it will appear. This may or may not correspond to the actual lifetime of an object in an implementation; what matters for this specification is what appears in stats.

If a monitored object can only exist in a few instances over the lifetime of a RTCPeerConnection, it may be simplest to consider it "eternal" and never delete it from the set of objects reported on in stats. This type of object will remain visible until the RTCPeerConnection is no longer available; it is also visible in getStats() after pc.close(). This is the default when no lifetime is mentioned in its specification.

Objects that might exist in many instances over time should have a defined time at which they are deleted, at which time they stop appearing in subsequent calls to getStats(). When an object is deleted, we can guarantee that no subsequent getStats() call will contain a stats object reference that references the deleted object. We also guarantee that the stats id of the deleted object will never be reused for another object. This ensures that an application that collects stats objects for deleted monitored objects will always be able to uniquely identify the object pointed to in the result of any getStats() call.

4.4 Guidelines for getStats() results caching/throttling

A call to getStats() touches many components of WebRTC and may take significant time to execute. The implementation may or may not utilize caching or throttling of getStats() calls for performance benefits, however any implementation must adhere to the following:

When the state of the RTCPeerConnection visibly changes as a result of an API call, a promise resolving or an event firing, subsequent new getStats() calls must return up-to-date dictionaries for the affected objects.

When a stats object is deleted, subsequent getStats() calls MUST NOT return stats for that monitored object.

5. Maintenance procedures for stats object types

5.1 Adding new stats objects

This document specifies the interoperable stats object types. Proposals for new object types may be made in the editors draft maintained on GitHub. New standard types may appear in future revisions of the W3C Recommendation.

If a need for a new stats object type or stats value within a stats object is found, an issue should be raised on Github, and a review process will decide on whether the stat should be added to the editors draft or not.

A pull request for a change to the editors draft may serve as guidance for the discussion, but the eventual merge is dependent on the review process.

While the WebRTC WG exists, it will serve as the review body; once it has disbanded, the W3C will have to establish appropriate review.

The level of review sought is that of the IETF process' "expert review", as defined in [RFC5226] section 4.1. The documentation needed includes the names of the new stats, their data types, and the definitions they are based on, specified to a level that allows interoperable implementation. The specification may consist of references to other documents.

Another specification that wishes to refer to a specific version (for instance for conformance) should refer to a dated version; these will be produced regularly when updates happen.

5.2 Retiring stats objects

At times, it makes sense to retire the definition for a stats object or a stats value. When this happens, it is not advisable to simply delete it from the spec, since there may be implementations out there that use it, and it is important that the name is reserved from re-use for another, incompatible definition.

Therefore, retired stats objects are moved to a separate section in this document. Retired stats objects are moved there in their entirety; retired stats values are moved to a "partial dictionary".

If there is no evidence that the retired object definition has ever been used (such as an object that is added to the spec and renamed, redefined or removed prior to implementation), the editors can decide to just remove the object from the spec.

6. Procedures for mitigating privacy concerns

The WebRTC's Statistics API exposes information about the system, including hardware capabilities and network characteristics. To limit the finger printing surface imposed by this API, some metrics are only exposed if allowed by the algorithms in this section. (This is a fingerprinting vector.)

6.1 Limiting exposure of hardware capabilities

To avoid passive fingerprinting, hardware capabilities should only be exposed in capturing contexts. This is tested using the algorithm below.

To check if hardware exposure is allowed, run the following steps:

  1. If the context capturing state is true, return true.

  2. Otherwise return false.

7. RTCStatsType

The type member, of type RTCStatsType, indicates the type of the object that the RTCStats object represents. An object with a given type can have only one IDL dictionary type, but multiple type values may indicate the same IDL dictionary type; for example, "local-candidate" and "remote-candidate" both use the IDL dictionary type RTCIceCandidateStats.

This specification is normative for the allowed values of RTCStatsType.

7.1 RTCStatsType enum

WebIDLenum RTCStatsType {
"codec",
"inbound-rtp",
"outbound-rtp",
"remote-inbound-rtp",
"remote-outbound-rtp",
"media-source",
"media-playout",
"peer-connection",
"data-channel",
"stream",
"track",
"transport",
"candidate-pair",
"local-candidate",
"remote-candidate",
"certificate"
};

The following strings are valid values for RTCStatsType:

codec

Statistics for a codec that is currently being used by RTP streams being sent or received by this RTCPeerConnection object. It is accessed by the RTCCodecStats.

inbound-rtp

Statistics for an inbound RTP stream that is currently received with this RTCPeerConnection object. It is accessed by the RTCInboundRtpStreamStats.

outbound-rtp

Statistics for an outbound RTP stream that is currently sent with this RTCPeerConnection object. It is accessed by the RTCOutboundRtpStreamStats.

When there are multiple RTP streams connected to the same sender due to using simulcast, there will be one RTCOutboundRtpStreamStats per RTP stream, with distinct values of the ssrc member, and all these streams will have a reference to the same "track" object (of type RTCMediaStreamTrackStats). RTX streams do not show up as separate RTCOutboundRtpStreamStats objects but affect the packetsSent, bytesSent, retransmittedPacketsSent and retransmittedBytesSent counters of the relevant RTCOutboundRtpStreamStats objects.

remote-inbound-rtp

Statistics for the remote endpoint's inbound RTP stream corresponding to an outbound stream that is currently sent with this RTCPeerConnection object. It is measured at the remote endpoint and reported in an RTCP Receiver Report (RR) or RTCP Extended Report (XR). It is accessed by the RTCRemoteInboundRtpStreamStats.

remote-outbound-rtp

Statistics for the remote endpoint's outbound RTP stream corresponding to an inbound stream that is currently received with this RTCPeerConnection object. It is measured at the remote endpoint and reported in an RTCP Sender Report (SR). It is accessed by the RTCRemoteOutboundRtpStreamStats.

media-source

Statistics for the media produced by a MediaStreamTrack that is currently attached to an RTCRtpSender. This reflects the media that is fed to the encoder; after getUserMedia() constraints have been applied (i.e. not the raw media produced by the camera). It is either an RTCAudioSourceStats or RTCVideoSourceStats depending on its kind.

media-playout

Statistics related to audio playout. It is accessed by the RTCAudioPlayoutStats.

peer-connection

Statistics related to the RTCPeerConnection object. It is accessed by the RTCPeerConnectionStats.

data-channel

Statistics related to each RTCDataChannel id. It is accessed by the RTCDataChannelStats.

stream

This is now obsolete. Contains statistics related to a specific MediaStream. It is accessed by the obsolete dictionary RTCMediaStreamStats.

track

This is now obsolete. Statistics related to a specific MediaStreamTrack's attachment to an RTCRtpSender or RTCRtpReceiver. It is accessed by the obsolete dictionary RTCMediaStreamTrackStats.

The monitored "track" object is deleted when the sender it reports on has its track value changed to no longer refer to the same track.

Note

All "track" stats have been made obsolete. The relevant metrics have been moved to "media-source", "outbound-rtp" and "inbound-rtp" stats.

transport

Transport statistics related to the RTCPeerConnection object. It is accessed by the RTCTransportStats.

candidate-pair

ICE candidate pair statistics related to the RTCIceTransport objects. It is accessed by the RTCIceCandidatePairStats.

A candidate pair that is not the current pair for a transport is deleted when the RTCIceTransport does an ICE restart, at the time the state changes to "new". The candidate pair that is the current pair for a transport is deleted after an ICE restart when the RTCIceTransport switches to using a candidate pair generated from the new candidates; this time doesn't correspond to any other externally observable event.

local-candidate

ICE local candidate statistics related to the RTCIceTransport objects. It is accessed by the RTCIceCandidateStats for the local candidate.

A local candidate is deleted when the RTCIceTransport does an ICE restart, and the candidate is no longer a member of any non-deleted candidate pair.

remote-candidate

ICE remote candidate statistics related to the RTCIceTransport objects. It is accessed by the RTCIceCandidateStats for the remote candidate.

A remote candidate is deleted when the RTCIceTransport does an ICE restart, and the candidate is no longer a member of any non-deleted candidate pair.

certificate

Information about a certificate used by an RTCIceTransport. It is accessed by the RTCCertificateStats.

8. Stats dictionaries

8.1 The RTP statistics hierarchy

The dictionaries for RTP statistics are structured as a hierarchy, so that those stats that make sense in many different contexts are represented just once in IDL.

The metrics exposed here correspond to local measurements and those reported by RTCP packets. Compound RTCP packets contain multiple RTCP report blocks, such as Sender Report (SR) and Receiver Report (RR) whereas a non-compound RTCP packets may contain just a single RTCP SR or RR block.

The lifetime of all RTP monitored objects starts when the RTP stream is first used: When the first RTP packet is sent or received on the SSRC it represents, or when the first RTCP packet is sent or received that refers to the SSRC of the RTP stream.

RTP monitored objects are deleted when the corresponding RTP sender or RTP receiver is reconfigured to remove the corresponding RTP stream. This happens for the old SSRC when the ssrc changes, a simulcast layer is dropped or the RTCRtpTransceiver's currentDirection becomes "stopped". The monitored object is not deleted if the transceiver is made "inactive" or if the encoding's active parameter is set to false. If an SSRC is recycled after a deletion event has happened, this is considered a new RTP monitored object and the new RTP stream stats will have reset counters and a new ID.

For a given RTP stats object, its total counters must always increase, but due to changes in SSRC, simulast layers dropping or transceivers stopping, an RTP stats object can be deleted and/or replaced by a new RTP stats object. The caller will need to be aware of this when aggregating packet counters accross multiple RTP stats objects (the aggregates may decrease due to deletions).

An RTCRtpSender is sending two layers of simulcast (on SSRC=111 and
SSRC=222). Two "outbound-rtp" stats objects are observed, one with
ssrc=111, and the other with ssrc=222. Both objects' packet counters are
increasing.

One layer is inactivated using RTCRtpSender.setParameters(). While
this pauses one of the layers (its packet counter freezes), the RTP
monitored objects are not deleted. The RTCRtpTransceiver is negotiated
as "inactive" and the RTP monitored objects are still not deleted.
When the RTCRtpTransceiver becomes "sendonly" again, the same
"outbound-rtp" objects continue to be used.

Later, RTCRtpTransceiver.stop() is called. The "outbound-rtp" objects
still exist but their packet counters have frozen. Renegotiation
happens and the transceiver.currentDirection becomes "stopped", now
both "outbound-rtp" objects have been deleted.

The hierarchy is as follows:

RTCRtpStreamStats: Stats that apply to any end of any RTP stream

8.2 RTCRtpStreamStats dictionary

WebIDLdictionary RTCRtpStreamStats : RTCStats {
             required unsigned long       ssrc;
             required DOMString           kind;
             DOMString           transportId;
             DOMString           codecId;
};

Dictionary RTCRtpStreamStats Members

ssrc of type unsigned long

The synchronization source (ssrc) identifier is an unsigned integer value per [RFC3550] used to identify the stream of RTP packets that this stats object is describing.

For outbound and inbound local, ssrc describes the stats for the track that were sent and received, respectively by those endpoints. For the remote inbound and remote outbound, ssrc describes the stats for the track that were received by and sent to the remote endpoint.

kind of type DOMString

Either "audio" or "video". This MUST match the kind attribute of the related MediaStreamTrack.

transportId of type DOMString

It is a unique identifier that is associated to the object that was inspected to produce the RTCTransportStats associated with this RTP stream.

codecId of type DOMString

It is a unique identifier that is associated to the object that was inspected to produce the RTCCodecStats associated with this RTP stream.

8.3 RTCCodecStats dictionary

Codecs are created when registered for an RTP transport, but only the subset of codecs that are in use (referenced by an RTP stream) are exposed in getStats().

The RTCCodecStats object is created when one or more codecId references the codec. When there no longer exists any reference to the RTCCodecStats, the stats object is deleted. If the same codec is used again in the future, the RTCCodecStats object is revived with the same id as before.

Codec objects may be referenced by multiple RTP streams in media sections using the same transport, but similar codecs in different transports have different RTCCodecStats objects.

Note

User agents are expected to coalesce information into a single "codec" entry per payload type per transport, unless sdpFmtpLine differs per direction, in which case two entries (one for encode and one for decode) are needed.

WebIDLdictionary RTCCodecStats : RTCStats {
             required unsigned long payloadType;
             required DOMString     transportId;
             required DOMString     mimeType;
             unsigned long clockRate;
             unsigned long channels;
             DOMString     sdpFmtpLine;
};

Dictionary RTCCodecStats Members

payloadType of type unsigned long

Payload type as used in RTP encoding or decoding.

transportId of type DOMString

The unique identifier of the transport on which this codec is being used, which can be used to look up the corresponding RTCTransportStats object.

mimeType of type DOMString

The codec MIME media type/subtype. e.g., video/vp8 or equivalent.

clockRate of type unsigned long

Represents the media sampling rate.

channels of type unsigned long

When present, indicates the number of channels (mono=1, stereo=2).

sdpFmtpLine of type DOMString

The a=fmtp line in the SDP corresponding to the codec, i.e., after the colon following the PT. This defined by [JSEP] in Section 5.7.

8.4 RTCReceivedRtpStreamStats dictionary

WebIDLdictionary RTCReceivedRtpStreamStats : RTCRtpStreamStats {
             unsigned long long   packetsReceived;
             long long            packetsLost;
             double               jitter;
};

Dictionary RTCReceivedRtpStreamStats Members

packetsReceived of type unsigned long long

Total number of RTP packets received for this SSRC. At the receiving endpoint, this is calculated as defined in [RFC3550] section 6.4.1. At the sending endpoint the packetsReceived is estimated by subtracting the Cumulative Number of Packets Lost from the Extended Highest Sequence Number Received, both reported in the RTCP Receiver Report, and then subtracting the initial Extended Sequence Number that was sent to this SSRC in a RTCP Sender Report and then adding one, to mirror what is discussed in Appendix A.3 in [RFC3550], but for the sender side. If no RTCP Receiver Report has been received yet, then return 0.

packetsLost of type long long

Total number of RTP packets lost for this SSRC. Calculated as defined in [RFC3550] section 6.4.1. Note that because of how this is estimated, it can be negative if more packets are received than sent.

jitter of type double

Packet Jitter measured in seconds for this SSRC. Calculated as defined in section 6.4.1. of [RFC3550].

8.5 RTCInboundRtpStreamStats dictionary

The RTCInboundRtpStreamStats dictionary represents the measurement metrics for the incoming RTP media stream. The timestamp reported in the statistics object is the time at which the data was sampled.

WebIDLdictionary RTCInboundRtpStreamStats : RTCReceivedRtpStreamStats {
             required DOMString   trackIdentifier;
             required DOMString   kind;

Dictionary RTCInboundRtpStreamStats Members

trackIdentifier of type DOMString

The value of the MediaStreamTrack's id attribute.

kind of type DOMString

The value of the MediaStreamTrack's kind attribute. This is either "audio" or "video".

mid of type DOMString

If the RTCRtpTransceiver owning this stream has a mid value that is not null, this is that value, otherwise this member is not present.

remoteId of type DOMString

The remoteId is used for looking up the remote RTCRemoteOutboundRtpStreamStats object for the same SSRC.

framesDecoded

Only exists for video. It represents the total number of frames correctly decoded for this RTP stream, i.e., frames that would be displayed if no frames are dropped.

keyFramesDecoded of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. It represents the total number of key frames, such as key frames in VP8 [RFC6386] or IDR-frames in H.264 [RFC6184], successfully decoded for this RTP media stream. This is a subset of framesDecoded. framesDecoded - keyFramesDecoded gives you the number of delta frames decoded.

framesDropped of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. The total number of frames dropped prior to decode or dropped because the frame missed its display deadline for this receiver's track. The measurement begins when the receiver is created and is a cumulative metric as defined in Appendix A (g) of [RFC7004].

frameWidth of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. Represents the width of the last decoded frame. Before the first frame is decoded this member does not exist.

frameHeight of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. Represents the height of the last decoded frame. Before the first frame is decoded this member does not exist.

framesPerSecond of type double

Only exists for video. The number of decoded frames in the last second.

qpSum of type unsigned long long

Only exists for video. The sum of the QP values of frames decoded by this receiver. The count of frames is in framesDecoded.

The definition of QP value depends on the codec; for VP8, the QP value is the value carried in the frame header as the syntax element y_ac_qi, and defined in [RFC6386] section 19.2. Its range is 0..127.

Note that the QP value is only an indication of quantizer values used; many formats have ways to vary the quantizer value within the frame.

totalDecodeTime of type double

Total number of seconds that have been spent decoding the framesDecoded frames of this stream. The average decode time can be calculated by dividing this value with framesDecoded. The time it takes to decode one frame is the time passed between feeding the decoder a frame and the decoder returning decoded data for that frame.

totalInterFrameDelay of type double

Sum of the interframe delays in seconds between consecutively decoded frames, recorded just after a frame has been decoded. The interframe delay variance be calculated from totalInterFrameDelay, totalSquaredInterFrameDelay, and framesDecoded according to the formula: (totalSquaredInterFrameDelay - totalInterFrameDelay^2/ framesDecoded)/framesDecoded.

totalSquaredInterFrameDelay of type double

Sum of the squared interframe delays in seconds between consecutively decoded frames, recorded just after a frame has been decoded. See totalInterFrameDelay for details on how to calculate the interframe delay variance.

pauseCount of type unsigned long

Count the total number of video pauses experienced by this receiver. Video is considered to be paused if time passed since last rendered frame exceeds 5 seconds. pauseCount is incremented when a frame is rendered after such a pause.

totalPausesDuration of type double

Total duration of pauses (for definition of pause see pauseCount), in seconds. This value is updated when a frame is rendered.

freezeCount of type unsigned long

Count the total number of video freezes experienced by this receiver. It is a freeze if frame duration, which is time interval between two consecutively rendered frames, is equal or exceeds Max(3 * avg_frame_duration_ms, avg_frame_duration_ms + 150), where avg_frame_duration_ms is linear average of durations of last 30 rendered frames.

totalFreezesDuration of type double

Total duration of rendered frames which are considered as frozen (for definition of freeze see freezeCount), in seconds. This value is updated when a frame is rendered.

lastPacketReceivedTimestamp of type DOMHighResTimeStamp

Represents the timestamp at which the last packet was received for this SSRC. This differs from timestamp, which represents the time at which the statistics were generated by the local endpoint.

headerBytesReceived of type unsigned long long

Total number of RTP header and padding bytes received for this SSRC. This does not include the size of transport layer headers such as IP or UDP. headerBytesReceived + bytesReceived equals the number of bytes received as payload over the transport.

packetsDiscarded of type unsigned long long

The cumulative number of RTP packets discarded by the jitter buffer due to late or early-arrival, i.e., these packets are not played out. RTP packets discarded due to packet duplication are not reported in this metric [XRBLOCK-STATS]. Calculated as defined in [RFC7002] section 3.2 and Appendix A.a.

fecPacketsReceived of type unsigned long long

Total number of RTP FEC packets received for this SSRC. This counter can also be incremented when receiving FEC packets in-band with media packets (e.g., with Opus).

fecPacketsDiscarded of type unsigned long long

Total number of RTP FEC packets received for this SSRC where the error correction payload was discarded by the application. This may happen 1. if all the source packets protected by the FEC packet were received or already recovered by a separate FEC packet, or 2. if the FEC packet arrived late, i.e., outside the recovery window, and the lost RTP packets have already been skipped during playout. This is a subset of fecPacketsReceived.

bytesReceived of type unsigned long long

Total number of bytes received for this SSRC. Calculated as defined in [RFC3550] section 6.4.1.

firCount of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. Count the total number of Full Intra Request (FIR) packets, as defined in [RFC5104] section 4.3.1, sent by this receiver. Does not count the RTCP FIR indicated in [RFC2032] which was deprecated by [RFC4587].

pliCount of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. Count the total number of Picture Loss Indication (PLI) packets, as defined in [RFC4585] section 6.3.1, sent by this receiver.

totalProcessingDelay of type double

It is the sum of the time, in seconds, each audio sample or video frame takes from the time the first RTP packet is received (reception timestamp) and to the time the corresponding sample or frame is decoded (decoded timestamp). At this point the audio sample or video frame is ready for playout by the MediaStreamTrack. Typically ready for playout here means after the audio sample or video frame is fully decoded by the decoder.

Given the complexities involved, the time of arrival or the reception timestamp is measured as close to the network layer as possible and the decoded timestamp is measured as soon as the complete sample or frame is decoded.

In the case of audio, several samples are received in the same RTP packet, all samples will share the same reception timestamp and different decoded timestamps. In the case of video, the frame is received over several RTP packets, in this case the earliest timestamp containing the frame is counted as the reception timestamp, and the decoded timestamp corresponds to when the complete frame is decoded.

This metric is not incremented for frames that are not decoded, i.e. framesDropped. The average processing delay can be calculated by dividing the totalProcessingDelay with the framesDecoded for video (or povisional stats spec totalSamplesDecoded for audio).

nackCount of type unsigned long

Count the total number of Negative ACKnowledgement (NACK) packets, as defined in [RFC4585] section 6.2.1, sent by this receiver.

estimatedPlayoutTimestamp of type DOMHighResTimeStamp

This is the estimated playout time of this receiver's track. The playout time is the NTP timestamp of the last playable audio sample or video frame that has a known timestamp (from an RTCP SR packet mapping RTP timestamps to NTP timestamps), extrapolated with the time elapsed since it was ready to be played out. This is the "current time" of the track in NTP clock time of the sender and can be present even if there is no audio currently playing.

This can be useful for estimating how much audio and video is out of sync for two tracks from the same source, audioTrackStats.estimatedPlayoutTimestamp - videoTrackStats.estimatedPlayoutTimestamp.

jitterBufferDelay of type double

The purpose of the jitter buffer is to recombine RTP packets into frames (in the case of video) and have smooth playout. The model described here assumes that the samples or frames are still compressed and have not yet been decoded. It is the sum of the time, in seconds, each audio sample or a video frame takes from the time the first packet is received by the jitter buffer (ingest timestamp) to the time it exits the jitter buffer (emit timestamp). In the case of audio, several samples belong to the same RTP packet, hence they will have the same ingest timestamp but different jitter buffer emit timestamps. In the case of video, the frame maybe is received over several RTP packets, hence the ingest timestamp is the earliest packet of the frame that entered the jitter buffer and the emit timestamp is when the whole frame exits the jitter buffer. This metric increases upon samples or frames exiting, having completed their time in the buffer (and incrementing jitterBufferEmittedCount). The average jitter buffer delay can be calculated by dividing the jitterBufferDelay with the jitterBufferEmittedCount.

jitterBufferTargetDelay of type double

This value is increased by the target jitter buffer delay every time a sample is emitted by the jitter buffer. The added target is the target delay, in seconds, at the time that the sample was emitted from the jitter buffer. To get the average target delay, divide by jitterBufferEmittedCount.

jitterBufferEmittedCount of type unsigned long long

The total number of audio samples or video frames that have come out of the jitter buffer (increasing jitterBufferDelay).

jitterBufferMinimumDelay of type double

There are various reasons why the jitter buffer delay might be increased to a higher value, such as to achieve AV synchronization or because a playoutDelay was set on a RTCRtpReceiver. When using one of these mechanisms, it can be useful to keep track of the minimal jitter buffer delay that could have been achieved, so WebRTC clients can track the amount of additional delay that is being added.

This metric works the same way as jitterBufferTargetDelay, except that it is not affected by external mechanisms that increase the jitter buffer target delay, such as playoutDelay (see link above), AV sync, or any other mechanisms. This metric is purely based on the network characteristics such as jitter and packet loss, and can be seen as the minimum obtainable jitter buffer delay if no external factors would affect it. The metric is updated every time jitterBufferEmittedCount is updated.

totalSamplesReceived of type unsigned long long

Only exists for audio. The total number of samples that have been received on this RTP stream. This includes concealedSamples.

concealedSamples of type unsigned long long

Only exists for audio. The total number of samples that are concealed samples. A concealed sample is a sample that was replaced with synthesized samples generated locally before being played out. Examples of samples that have to be concealed are samples from lost packets (reported in packetsLost) or samples from packets that arrive too late to be played out (reported in packetsDiscarded).

silentConcealedSamples of type unsigned long long

Only exists for audio. The total number of concealed samples inserted that are "silent". Playing out silent samples results in silence or comfort noise. This is a subset of concealedSamples.

concealmentEvents of type unsigned long long

Only exists for audio. The number of concealment events. This counter increases every time a concealed sample is synthesized after a non-concealed sample. That is, multiple consecutive concealed samples will increase the concealedSamples count multiple times but is a single concealment event.

insertedSamplesForDeceleration of type unsigned long long

Only exists for audio. When playout is slowed down, this counter is increased by the difference between the number of samples received and the number of samples played out. If playout is slowed down by inserting samples, this will be the number of inserted samples.

removedSamplesForAcceleration of type unsigned long long

Only exists for audio. When playout is sped up, this counter is increased by the difference between the number of samples received and the number of samples played out. If speedup is achieved by removing samples, this will be the count of samples removed.

audioLevel of type double

Only exists for audio. Represents the audio level of the receiving track. For audio levels of tracks attached locally, see RTCAudioSourceStats instead.

The value is between 0..1 (linear), where 1.0 represents 0 dBov, 0 represents silence, and 0.5 represents approximately 6 dBSPL change in the sound pressure level from 0 dBov.

The audioLevel is averaged over some small interval, using the algorithm described under totalAudioEnergy. The interval used is implementation dependent.

totalAudioEnergy of type double

Only exists for audio. Represents the audio energy of the receiving track. For audio energy of tracks attached locally, see RTCAudioSourceStats instead.

This value MUST be computed as follows: for each audio sample that is received (and thus counted by totalSamplesReceived), add the sample's value divided by the highest-intensity encodable value, squared and then multiplied by the duration of the sample in seconds. In other words, duration * Math.pow(energy/maxEnergy, 2).

This can be used to obtain a root mean square (RMS) value that uses the same units as audioLevel, as defined in [RFC6464]. It can be converted to these units using the formula Math.sqrt(totalAudioEnergy/totalSamplesDuration). This calculation can also be performed using the differences between the values of two different getStats() calls, in order to compute the average audio level over any desired time interval. In other words, do Math.sqrt((energy2 - energy1)/(duration2 - duration1)).

For example, if a 10ms packet of audio is produced with an RMS of 0.5 (out of 1.0), this should add 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.01 = 0.0025 to totalAudioEnergy. If another 10ms packet with an RMS of 0.1 is received, this should similarly add 0.0001 to totalAudioEnergy. Then, Math.sqrt(totalAudioEnergy/totalSamplesDuration) becomes Math.sqrt(0.0026/0.02) = 0.36, which is the same value that would be obtained by doing an RMS calculation over the contiguous 20ms segment of audio.

If multiple audio channels are used, the audio energy of a sample refers to the highest energy of any channel.

totalSamplesDuration of type double

Only exists for audio. Represents the audio duration of the receiving track. For audio durations of tracks attached locally, see RTCAudioSourceStats instead.

Represents the total duration in seconds of all samples that have been received (and thus counted by totalSamplesReceived). Can be used with totalAudioEnergy to compute an average audio level over different intervals.

framesReceived of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. Represents the total number of complete frames received on this RTP stream. This metric is incremented when the complete frame is received.

decoderImplementation of type DOMString

Only exists for video. Identifies the decoder implementation used. This is useful for diagnosing interoperability issues.

playoutId of type DOMString

If audio playout is happening, this is used to look up the corresponding RTCAudioPlayoutStats.

powerEfficientDecoder of type boolean

Only defined when exposing hardware is allowed. (This is a fingerprinting vector.)

Whether the decoder currently used is considered power efficient by the user agent. This SHOULD reflect if the configuration results in hardware acceleration, but the user agent MAY take other information into account when deciding if the configuration is considered power efficient.

framesAssembledFromMultiplePackets of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. It represents the total number of frames correctly decoded for this RTP stream that consist of more than one RTP packet. For such frames the totalAssemblyTime is incremented. The average frame assembly time can be calculated by dividing the totalAssemblyTime with framesAssembledFromMultiplePackets.

totalAssemblyTime of type double

Only exists for video. The sum of the time, in seconds, each video frame takes from the time the first RTP packet is received (reception timestamp) and to the time the last RTP packet of a frame is received. Only incremented for frames consisting of more than one RTP packet.

Given the complexities involved, the time of arrival or the reception timestamp is measured as close to the network layer as possible. This metric is not incremented for frames that are not decoded, i.e., framesDropped or frames that fail decoding for other reasons (if any). Only incremented for frames consisting of more than one RTP packet.

The RTCRemoteInboundRtpStreamStats dictionary represents the remote endpoint's measurement metrics for a particular incoming RTP stream (corresponding to an outgoing RTP stream at the sending endpoint). The timestamp reported in the statistics object is the time at which the corresponding RTCP RR was received.

};

localId of type DOMString

The localId is used for looking up the local RTCOutboundRtpStreamStats object for the same SSRC.

roundTripTime of type double

Estimated round trip time for this SSRC based on the RTCP timestamps in the RTCP Receiver Report (RR) and measured in seconds. Calculated as defined in section 6.4.1. of [RFC3550]. If no RTCP Receiver Report is received with a DLSR value other than 0, the round trip time is left undefined.

totalRoundTripTime of type double

Represents the cumulative sum of all round trip time measurements in seconds since the beginning of the session. The individual round trip time is calculated based on the RTCP timestamps in the RTCP Receiver Report (RR) [RFC3550], hence undefined roundtrip times are not added. The average round trip time can be computed from totalRoundTripTime by dividing it by roundTripTimeMeasurements.

fractionLost of type double

The fraction packet loss reported for this SSRC. Calculated as defined in [RFC3550] section 6.4.1 and Appendix A.3.

Dictionary RTCOutboundRtpStreamStats Members

mid of type DOMString

If the RTCRtpTransceiver owning this stream has a mid value that is not null, this is that value, otherwise this member is not present.

mediaSourceId of type DOMString

The identifier of the stats object representing the track currently attached to the sender of this stream, an RTCMediaSourceStats.

remoteId of type DOMString

The remoteId is used for looking up the remote RTCRemoteInboundRtpStreamStats object for the same SSRC.

rid of type DOMString

Exposes the rid encoding parameter of this RTP stream if it has been set, otherwise it is undefined. If set this value will be present regardless if the RID RTP header extension has been negotiated.

headerBytesSent of type unsigned long long

Total number of RTP header and padding bytes sent for this SSRC. This does not include the size of transport layer headers such as IP or UDP. headerBytesSent + bytesSent equals the number of bytes sent as payload over the transport.

retransmittedPacketsSent of type unsigned long long

The total number of packets that were retransmitted for this SSRC. This is a subset of packetsSent. If RTX is not negotiated, retransmitted packets are sent over this ssrc. If RTX was negotiated, retransmitted packets are sent over a separate ssrc but is still accounted for here.

retransmittedBytesSent of type unsigned long long

The total number of bytes that were retransmitted for this SSRC, only including payload bytes. This is a subset of bytesSent. If RTX is not negotiated, retransmitted bytes are sent over this ssrc. If RTX was negotiated, retransmitted bytes are sent over a separate ssrc but is still accounted for here.

targetBitrate of type double

Reflects the current encoder target in bits per second. The target is an instantanous value reflecting the encoder's settings, but the resulting payload bytes sent per second, excluding retransmissions, SHOULD closely correlate to the target. See also bytesSent and retransmittedBytesSent. The targetBitrate is defined in the same way as the Transport Independent Application Specific (TIAS) bitrate [RFC3890].

totalEncodedBytesTarget of type unsigned long long

This value is increased by the target frame size in bytes every time a frame has been encoded. The actual frame size may be bigger or smaller than this number. This value goes up every time framesEncoded goes up.

frameWidth of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. Represents the width of the last encoded frame. The resolution of the encoded frame may be lower than the media source (see RTCVideoSourceStats.width). Before the first frame is encoded this member does not exist.

frameHeight of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. Represents the height of the last encoded frame. The resolution of the encoded frame may be lower than the media source (see RTCVideoSourceStats.height). Before the first frame is encoded this member does not exist.

framesPerSecond of type double

Only exists for video. The number of encoded frames during the last second. This may be lower than the media source frame rate (see RTCVideoSourceStats.framesPerSecond).

framesSent of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. Represents the total number of frames sent on this RTP stream.

hugeFramesSent of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. Represents the total number of huge frames sent by this RTP stream. Huge frames, by definition, are frames that have an encoded size at least 2.5 times the average size of the frames. The average size of the frames is defined as the target bitrate per second divided by the target FPS at the time the frame was encoded. These are usually complex to encode frames with a lot of changes in the picture. This can be used to estimate, e.g slide changes in the streamed presentation.

The multiplier of 2.5 is choosen from analyzing encoded frame sizes for a sample presentation using WebRTC standalone implementation. 2.5 is a reasonably large multiplier which still caused all slide change events to be identified as a huge frames. It, however, produced 1.4% of false positive slide change detections which is deemed reasonable.

framesEncoded of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. It represents the total number of frames successfully encoded for this RTP media stream.

keyFramesEncoded of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. It represents the total number of key frames, such as key frames in VP8 [RFC6386] or IDR-frames in H.264 [RFC6184], successfully encoded for this RTP media stream. This is a subset of framesEncoded. framesEncoded - keyFramesEncoded gives you the number of delta frames encoded.

qpSum of type unsigned long long

Only exists for video. The sum of the QP values of frames encoded by this sender. The count of frames is in framesEncoded.

The definition of QP value depends on the codec; for VP8, the QP value is the value carried in the frame header as the syntax element y_ac_qi, and defined in [RFC6386] section 19.2. Its range is 0..127.

Note that the QP value is only an indication of quantizer values used; many formats have ways to vary the quantizer value within the frame.

totalEncodeTime of type double

Total number of seconds that has been spent encoding the framesEncoded frames of this stream. The average encode time can be calculated by dividing this value with framesEncoded. The time it takes to encode one frame is the time passed between feeding the encoder a frame and the encoder returning encoded data for that frame. This does not include any additional time it may take to packetize the resulting data.

totalPacketSendDelay of type double

The total number of seconds that packets have spent buffered locally before being transmitted onto the network. The time is measured from when a packet is emitted from the RTP packetizer until it is handed over to the OS network socket. This measurement is added to totalPacketSendDelay when packetsSent is incremented.

qualityLimitationReason of type RTCQualityLimitationReason

Only exists for video. The current reason for limiting the resolution and/or framerate, or "none" if not limited.

The implementation reports the most limiting factor. If the implementation is not able to determine the most limiting factor because multiple may exist, the reasons MUST be reported in the following order of priority: "bandwidth", "cpu", "other".

Note

The consumption of CPU and bandwidth resources is interdependent and difficult to estimate, making it hard to determine what the "most limiting factor" is. The priority order promoted here is based on the heuristic that "bandwidth" is generally more varying and thus a more likely and more useful signal than "cpu".

qualityLimitationDurations of type record<DOMString, double>

Only exists for video. A record of the total time, in seconds, that this stream has spent in each quality limitation state. The record includes a mapping for all RTCQualityLimitationReason types, including "none".

The sum of all entries minus qualityLimitationDurations["none"] gives the total time that the stream has been limited.

qualityLimitationResolutionChanges of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. The number of times that the resolution has changed because we are quality limited (qualityLimitationReason has a value other than "none"). The counter is initially zero and increases when the resolution goes up or down. For example, if a 720p track is sent as 480p for some time and then recovers to 720p, qualityLimitationResolutionChanges will have the value 2.

nackCount of type unsigned long

Count the total number of Negative ACKnowledgement (NACK) packets, as defined in [RFC4585] section 6.2.1, received by this sender.

firCount of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. Count the total number of Full Intra Request (FIR) packets, as defined in [RFC5104] section 4.3.1, received by this sender. Does not count the RTCP FIR indicated in [RFC2032] which was deprecated by [RFC4587].

pliCount of type unsigned long

Only exists for video. Count the total number of Picture Loss Indication (PLI) packets, as defined in [RFC4585] section 6.3.1, received by this sender

encoderImplementation of type DOMString

Only defined when exposing hardware is allowed. (This is a fingerprinting vector.)

Only exists for video. Identifies the encoder implementation used. This is useful for diagnosing interoperability issues.

powerEfficientEncoder of type boolean

Only defined when exposing hardware is allowed. (This is a fingerprinting vector.)

Whether the encoder currently used is considered power efficient by the user agent. This SHOULD reflect if the configuration results in hardware acceleration, but the user agent MAY take other information into account when deciding if the configuration is considered power efficient.

active of type boolean

Indicates whether this RTP stream is configured to be sent or disabled. Note that an active stream can still not be sending, e.g. when being limited by network conditions.

scalabilityMode of type DOMString

The currently configured scalability mode of this RTP stream. If one is not configured or not applicable, this metric is left undefined.

RTCQualityLimitationReason Enumeration description
Enum valueDescription
none

The resolution and/or framerate is not limited.

cpu

The resolution and/or framerate is primarily limited due to CPU load.

bandwidth

The resolution and/or framerate is primarily limited due to congestion cues during bandwidth estimation. Typical, congestion control algorithms use inter-arrival time, round-trip time, packet or other congestion cues to perform bandwidth estimation.

other

The resolution and/or framerate is primarily limited for a reason other than the above.

The RTCRemoteOutboundRtpStreamStats dictionary represents the remote endpoint's measurement metrics for its outgoing RTP stream (corresponding to an outgoing RTP stream at the sending endpoint).

localId of type DOMString

The localId is used for looking up the local RTCInboundRtpStreamStats object for the same SSRC.

remoteTimestamp of type DOMHighResTimeStamp

remoteTimestamp, of type DOMHighResTimeStamp [HIGHRES-TIME], represents the remote timestamp at which these statistics were sent by the remote endpoint. This differs from timestamp, which represents the time at which the statistics were generated or received by the local endpoint. The remoteTimestamp, if present, is derived from the NTP timestamp in an RTCP Sender Report (SR) block, which reflects the remote endpoint's clock. That clock may not be synchronized with the local clock.

reportsSent of type unsigned long long

Represents the total number of RTCP SR blocks sent for this SSRC.

roundTripTime of type double

Estimated round trip time for this SSRC based on the latest RTCP Sender Report (SR) that contains a DLRR report block as defined in [RFC3611]. The Calculation of the round trip time is defined in section 4.5. of [RFC3611]. If the latest SR does not contain the DLRR report block, or if the last RR timestamp in the DLRR report block is zero, or if the delay since last RR value in the DLRR report block is zero, the round trip time is left undefined.

totalRoundTripTime of type double

Represents the cumulative sum of all round trip time measurements in seconds since the beginning of the session. The individual round trip time is calculated based on the DLRR report block in the RTCP Sender Report (SR) [RFC3611], hence undefined roundtrip times are not added. The average round trip time can be computed from totalRoundTripTime by dividing it by roundTripTimeMeasurements.

roundTripTimeMeasurements of type unsigned long long

Represents the total number of RTCP Sender Report (SR) blocks received for this SSRC that can derive a valid round trip time according to [RFC3611]. This counter will not increment if the roundTripTime is undefined.

8.11 RTCMediaSourceStats dictionary

The RTCMediaSourceStats dictionary represents a track that is currently attached to one or more senders. It contains information about media sources such as frame rate and resolution prior to encoding. This is the media passed from the MediaStreamTrack to the RTCRtpSenders. This is in contrast to RTCOutboundRtpStreamStats whose members describe metrics as measured after the encoding step. For example, a track may be captured from a high-resolution camera, its frames downscaled due to track constraints and then further downscaled by the encoders due to CPU and network conditions. This dictionary reflects the video frames or audio samples passed out from the track - after track constraints have been applied but before any encoding or further donwsampling occurs.

Media source objects are of either subdictionary RTCAudioSourceStats or RTCVideoSourceStats. The type is the same ("media-source") but kind is different ("audio" or "video") depending on the kind of track.

The media source stats objects are created when a track is attached to any RTCRtpSender and may subsequently be attached to multiple senders during its life. The life of this object ends when the track is no longer attached to any sender of the same RTCPeerConnection. If a track whose media source object ended is attached again this results in a new media source stats object whose counters (such as number of frames) are reset.

WebIDLdictionary RTCMediaSourceStats : RTCStats {
             required DOMString       trackIdentifier;
             required DOMString       kind;
};

Dictionary RTCMediaSourceStats Members

trackIdentifier of type DOMString

The value of the MediaStreamTrack's id attribute.

kind of type DOMString

The value of the MediaStreamTrack's kind attribute. This is either "audio" or "video". If it is "audio" then this stats object is of type RTCAudioSourceStats. If it is "video" then this stats object is of type RTCVideoSourceStats.

8.12 RTCAudioSourceStats dictionary

The RTCAudioSourceStats dictionary represents an audio track that is attached to one or more senders. It is an RTCMediaSourceStats whose kind is "audio".

WebIDLdictionary RTCAudioSourceStats : RTCMediaSourceStats {
              double              audioLevel;
              double              totalAudioEnergy;

              unsigned long long  totalSamplesCaptured;
};

Dictionary RTCAudioSourceStats Members

audioLevel of type double

Represents the audio level of the media source. For audio levels of remotely sourced tracks, see RTCInboundRtpStreamStats instead.

The value is between 0..1 (linear), where 1.0 represents 0 dBov, 0 represents silence, and 0.5 represents approximately 6 dBSPL change in the sound pressure level from 0 dBov.

The audioLevel is averaged over some small interval, using the algorithm described under totalAudioEnergy. The interval used is implementation dependent.

totalAudioEnergy of type double

Represents the audio energy of the media source. For audio energy of remotely sourced tracks, see RTCInboundRtpStreamStats instead.

This value MUST be computed as follows: for each audio sample produced by the media source during the lifetime of this stats object, add the sample's value divided by the highest-intensity encodable value, squared and then multiplied by the duration of the sample in seconds. In other words, duration * Math.pow(energy/maxEnergy, 2).

This can be used to obtain a root mean square (RMS) value that uses the same units as audioLevel, as defined in [RFC6464]. It can be converted to these units using the formula Math.sqrt(totalAudioEnergy/totalSamplesDuration). This calculation can also be performed using the differences between the values of two different getStats() calls, in order to compute the average audio level over any desired time interval. In other words, do Math.sqrt((energy2 - energy1)/(duration2 - duration1)).

For example, if a 10ms packet of audio is produced with an RMS of 0.5 (out of 1.0), this should add 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.01 = 0.0025 to totalAudioEnergy. If another 10ms packet with an RMS of 0.1 is received, this should similarly add 0.0001 to totalAudioEnergy. Then, Math.sqrt(totalAudioEnergy/totalSamplesDuration) becomes Math.sqrt(0.0026/0.02) = 0.36, which is the same value that would be obtained by doing an RMS calculation over the contiguous 20ms segment of audio.

If multiple audio channels are used, the audio energy of a sample refers to the highest energy of any channel.

totalSamplesDuration of type double

Represents the audio duration of the media source. For audio durations of remotely sourced tracks, see RTCInboundRtpStreamStats instead.

Represents the total duration in seconds of all samples that have been produced by this source for the lifetime of this stats object. Can be used with totalAudioEnergy to compute an average audio level over different intervals.

totalSamplesDuration does not include samples dropped before reaching this media source, see droppedSamplesDuration.

echoReturnLoss of type double

Only exists when the MediaStreamTrack is sourced from a microphone where echo cancellation is applied. Calculated in decibels, as defined in [ECHO] (2012) section 3.14.

If multiple audio channels are used, the channel of the least audio energy is considered for any sample.

echoReturnLossEnhancement of type double

Only exists when the MediaStreamTrack is sourced from a microphone where echo cancellation is applied. Calculated in decibels, as defined in [ECHO] (2012) section 3.15.

If multiple audio channels are used, the channel of the least audio energy is considered for any sample.

droppedSamplesDuration of type double

Only applicable if this media source is backed by an audio capture device. The total duration, in seconds, of samples produced by the device that got dropped before reaching the media source.

droppedSamplesEvents of type unsigned long

The number of dropped samples events. This counter increases every time a sample is dropped after a non-dropped sample. That is, multiple consecutive dropped samples will increase droppedSamplesDuration multiple times but is a single dropped samples event.

totalCaptureDelay of type double

Only applicable if the audio source represents an audio capture device. This is the total delay, in seconds, for each audio sample between the time the sample was emitted by the capture device and the sample reaching the source. This can be used together with totalSamplesCaptured to calculate the average capture delay per sample.

totalSamplesCaptured of type unsigned long long

Only applicable if the audio source represents an audio capture device. This is the total number of captured samples reaching the audio source, i.e. that were not dropped by the capture pipeline. The frequency of the media source is not necessarily the same as the frequency of encoders later in the pipeline.

WebIDLdictionary RTCAudioPlayoutStats : RTCStats {
             double        synthesizedSamplesDuration;
             unsigned long synthesizedSamplesEvents;

             double        totalPlayoutDelay;
             double        totalSamplesCount;
};

Dictionary RTCAudioPlayoutStats Members

synthesizedSamplesDuration of type double

If the playout path is unable to produce audio samples on time for device playout, samples are synthesized to be playout out instead. synthesizedSamplesDuration is measured in seconds and is incremented each time an audio sample is synthesized by this playout path. This metric can be used together with totalSamplesDuration to calculate the percentage of played out media being synthesized.

Synthesization typically only happens if the pipeline is underperforming. Samples synthesized by the RTCInboundRtpStreamStats are not counted for here, but in RTCInboundRtpStreamStats.concealedSamples.

synthesizedSamplesEvents of type unsigned long

totalPlayoutDelay of type double

When audio samples are pulled by the playout device, this counter is incremented with the estimated delay of the playout path for that audio sample. The playout delay includes the delay from being emitted to the actual time of playout on the device. This metric can be used together with totalSamplesCount to calculate the average playout delay per sample.

totalSamplesCount of type double

When audio samples are pulled by the playout device, this counter is incremented with the number of samples emitted for playout.

Implementations that do not calculate a sender-side estimate MUST leave this undefined. Additionally, the value MUST be undefined for candidate pairs that were never used. For pairs in use, the estimate is normally no lower than the bitrate for the packets sent at lastPacketSentTimestamp, but might be higher. For candidate pairs that are not currently in use but were used before, implementations MUST return undefined.

availableIncomingBitrate of type double

It is calculated by the underlying congestion control by combining the available bitrate for all the incoming RTP streams using this candidate pair. The bitrate measurement does not count the size of the IP or other transport layers like TCP or UDP. It is similar to the TIAS defined in [RFC3890], i.e., it is measured in bits per second and the bitrate is calculated over a 1 second window.

Implementations that do not calculate a receiver-side estimate MUST leave this undefined. Additionally, the value should be undefined for candidate pairs that were never used. For pairs in use, the estimate is normally no lower than the bitrate for the packets received at lastPacketReceivedTimestamp, but might be higher. For candidate pairs that are not currently in use but were used before, implementations MUST return undefined.

Obsolete RTCMediaStreamStats members

WebIDLdictionary RTCMediaStreamStats : RTCStats {
  DOMString streamIdentifier;
  sequence<DOMString> trackIds;
};

This entire dictionary was made obsolete in September, 2019 due to sender, receiver and transceiver stats objects being a better fit to describe the modern RTCPeerConnection model (Unified Plan).

streamIdentifier of type DOMString

stream.id property

trackIds of type sequence<DOMString>

This is the id of the stats object, not the track.id.

Obsolete RTCCodecStats members

WebIDLpartial dictionary RTCCodecStats {
    DOMString implementation;
};
implementation of type DOMString

This was moved to RTCInboundRtpStreamStats.RTCInboundRtpStreamStats/decoderImplementation}} and RTCOutboundRtpStreamStats.encoderImplementation in August 2019.

Obsolete RTCIceCandidateStats members

WebIDLpartial dictionary RTCIceCandidateStats {
    boolean deleted = false;
    boolean isRemote;
};
deleted of type boolean

This field was obsoleted because if the ICE candidate is deleted it no longer appears in getStats().

isRemote of type boolean

false indicates that this represents a local candidate; true indicates that this represents a remote candidate.

Obsolete RTCIceCandidatePairStats members

WebIDLpartial dictionary RTCIceCandidatePairStats {
    double totalRtt;
    double currentRtt;
    unsigned long long priority;
};
totalRtt

This field got renamed to totalRoundTripTime in Dec 2016.

currentRtt

This field got renamed to currentRoundTripTime in Dec 2016.

priority

This field got removed in Feb 2018, as it cannot be represented in 53 bits. It can be recalculated if needed as defined in [RFC5245] section 5.7.2.

Obsolete RTCRtpStreamStats members

WebIDLpartial dictionary RTCRtpStreamStats {
    DOMString mediaType;
};
mediaType of type DOMString

This field got renamed to kind in Feb 2018.

Obsolete RTCInboundRtpStreamStats members

WebIDLpartial dictionary RTCInboundRtpStreamStats {
    DOMString trackId;
    double fractionLost;
};
trackId of type DOMString

The identifier of the stats object representing the receiving track, an RTCMediaStreamTrackStats.

This field was made obsolete in April 2020 as a follow-up to "track" stats having been made obsolete.

fractionLost of type double

This field was moved to RTCRemoteInboundRtpStreamStats in December 2017.

Obsolete RTCOutboundRtpStreamStats members

WebIDLpartial dictionary RTCOutboundRtpStreamStats {
    DOMString trackId;
};
trackId of type DOMString

The identifier of the stats object representing the current track attachment to the sender of this stream, an RTCMediaStreamTrackStats.

This field was made obsolete in April 2020 as a follow-up to "track" stats having been made obsolete.

    unsigned long       framesDecoded;
    unsigned long       framesDropped;
};
trackIdentifier of type DOMString

Represents the id property of the track.

ended of type boolean

Reflects the ended state of the track.

kind of type DOMString

Either "audio" or "video". This reflects the kind attribute of the MediaStreamTrack, see [GETUSERMEDIA].

priority of type RTCPriorityType

Indicates the priority that has been set for the track. It is defined in [RTCWEB-TRANSPORT], Section 4, but was removed from [WEBRTC] due to lack of implementation and moved to [WEBRTC-PRIORITY], with some changes to its definition.

remoteSource of type boolean

Only applicable for "track" stats. false if the track attachment is on an RTCRtpSender, true if the track attachment is on an RTCRtpReceiver.

With "track" stats made obsolete, and this information being available elsewhere, this metric was made obsolete in April, 2020.

10. Examples

10.1 Example of a stats application

Consider the case where the user is experiencing bad sound and the application wants to determine if the cause of it is packet loss. The following example code might be used:

var baselineReport, currentReport;
var sender = pc.getSenders()[0];

sender.getStats().then(function (report) {
    baselineReport = report;
})
.then(function() {
    return new Promise(function(resolve) {
        setTimeout(resolve, aBit); // ... wait a bit
    });
})
.then(function() {
    return sender.getStats();
})
.then(function (report) {
    currentReport = report;
    processStats();
})
.catch(function (error) {
  console.log(error.toString());
});

function processStats() {
    // compare the elements from the current report with the baseline
    for (let now of currentReport.values()) {
        if (now.type != "outbound-rtp")
            continue;

        // get the corresponding stats from the baseline report
        let base = baselineReport.get(now.id);

        if (base) {
            remoteNow = currentReport[now.remoteId];
            remoteBase = baselineReport[base.remoteId];

            var packetsSent = now.packetsSent - base.packetsSent;
            var packetsReceived = remoteNow.packetsReceived - remoteBase.packetsReceived;

            // if intervalFractionLoss is > 0.3, we've probably found the culprit
            var intervalFractionLoss = (packetsSent - packetsReceived) / packetsSent;
        }
    });
}

11. Security and Privacy Considerations

The data exposed by WebRTC Statistics include most of the media and network data also exposed by [GETUSERMEDIA] and [WEBRTC] - as such, all the privacy and security considerations of these specifications related to data exposure apply as well to this specifciation.

In addition, the properties exposed by RTCReceivedRtpStreamStats, RTCRemoteInboundRtpStreamStats, RTCSentRtpStreamStats, RTCOutboundRtpStreamStats, RTCRemoteOutboundRtpStreamStats, RTCIceCandidatePairStats, RTCTransportStats expose network-layer data not currently available to the JavaScript layer.

Beyond the risks associated with revealing IP addresses as discussed in the WebRTC 1.0 specification, some combination of the network properties uniquely exposed by this specification can be correlated with location.

For instance, the round-trip time exposed in RTCRemoteInboundRtpStreamStats can give some coarse indication on how far aparts the peers are located, and thus, if one of the peer's location is known, this may reveal information about the other peer.

When applied to isolated streams, media metrics may allow an application to infer some characteristics of the isolated stream, such as if anyone is speaking (by watching the audioLevel statistic).

The following stats are deemed to be sensitive, and MUST NOT be reported for an isolated media stream:
