Internet-Draft Speex May 2007
1. Introduction
Speex is based on the CELP [CELP] encoding technique with support for
either narrowband (nominal 8kHz), wideband (nominal 16kHz) or ultra-
wideband (nominal 32kHz). The main characteristics can be summarized
as follows:
o Free software/open-source
o Integration of wideband and narrowband in the same bit-stream
o Wide range of bit-rates available
o Dynamic bit-rate switching and variable bit-rate (VBR)
o Voice Activity Detection (VAD, integrated with VBR)
o Variable complexity
The Speex codec supports a wide range of bit-rates from 2.15 kbit/s
to 44 kbit/s. In some cases however, it may not be possible for an
implementation to include support for all rates (e.g. because of
bandwidth, RAM or CPU constraints). In those cases, to be compliant
with this specification, implementations MUST support at least
narrowband (8 kHz) encoding and decoding at 8 kbit/s bit-rate
(narrowband mode 3). Support for narrowband at 15 kbit/s (narrowband
mode 5) is RECOMMENDED and support for wideband at 27.8 kbit/s
(wideband mode 8) is also RECOMMENDED. The sampling rate MUST be 8,
16 or 32 kHz.

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119 [RFC2119] and
indicate requirement levels for compliant RTP implementations.

3. RTP usage for Speex
3.1. RTP Speex Header Fields
The RTP header is defined in the RTP specification [RFC3550]. This
section defines how fields in the RTP header are used.
Payload Type (PT): The assignment of an RTP payload type for this
packet format is outside the scope of this document; it is
specified by the RTP profile under which this payload format is
used, or signaled dynamically out-of-band (e.g., using SDP).
Marker (M) bit: The M bit is set to one to indicate that the RTP
packet payload contains at least one complete frame
Extension (X) bit: Defined by the RTP profile used.
Timestamp: A 32-bit word that corresponds to the sampling instant
for the first frame in the RTP packet.
3.2. RTP payload format for Speex
The RTP payload for Speex has the format shown in Figure 1. No
additional header fields specific to this payload format are
required. For RTP based transportation of Speex encoded audio the
standard RTP header [RFC3550] is followed by one or more payload data
blocks. An optional padding terminator may also be used.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

Figure 1: RTP payload for Speex
3.3. Speex payload
For the purposes of packetizing the bit stream in RTP, it is only
necessary to consider the sequence of bits as output by the Speex
encoder [speex_manual], and present the same sequence to the decoder.
The payload format described here maintains this sequence.
A typical Speex frame, encoded at the maximum bitrate, is approx. 110
Herlein, et al. Expires November 30, 2007 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Speex May 2007
octets and the total number of Speex frames SHOULD be kept less than
the path MTU to prevent fragmentation. Speex frames MUST NOT be
fragmented across multiple RTP packets,
An RTP packet MAY contain Speex frames of the same bit rate or of
varying bit rates, since the bit-rate for a frame is conveyed in band
with the signal.
The encoding and decoding algorithm can change the bit rate at any 20
msec frame boundary, with the bit rate change notification provided
in-band with the bit stream. Each frame contains both sampling rate
(narrowband, wideband or ultra-wideband) and "mode" (bit-rate)
information in the bit stream. No out-of-band notification is
required for the decoder to process changes in the bit rate sent by
the encoder.
Sampling rate values of 8000, 16000 or 32000 Hz MUST be used. Any
other sampling rates MUST NOT be used.
The RTP payload MUST be padded to provide an integer number of octets
as the payload length. These padding bits are LSB aligned in network
octet order and consist of a 0 followed by all ones (until the end of
the octet). This padding is only required for the last frame in the
packet, and only to ensure the packet contents ends on an octet
boundary.
3.4. Example Speex packet
In the example below we have a single Speex frame with 5 bits of
padding to ensure the packet size falls on an octet boundary.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

3.5. Multiple Speex frames in a RTP packet
Below is an example of two Speex frames contained within one RTP
packet. The Speex frame length in this example fall on an octet
boundary so there is no padding.

Internet-Draft Speex May 2007
5. SDP usage of Speex
When conveying information by SDP [RFC4566], the encoding name MUST
be set to "speex". An example of the media representation in SDP for
offering a single channel of Speex at 8000 samples per second might
be:
m=audio 8088 RTP/AVP 97
a=rtpmap:97 speex/8000
Note that the RTP payload type code of 97 is defined in this media
definition to be 'mapped' to the speex codec at an 8kHz sampling
frequency using the 'a=rtpmap' line. Any number from 96 to 127 could
have been chosen (the allowed range for dynamic types).
The value of the sampling frequency MUST be either 8000 for narrow
band operation, 16000 for wide band operation, and 32000 for ultra-
wide band operation.
As specified in RFC 4566 [RFC4566] if the ptime attribute is present
for a stream, it indicates the desired packetization interval that
the offerer would like to receive. The ptime attribute MUST be
greater than zero. Note that the sender is still allowed to use a
different packetisation interval. Since Speex uses 20 msec frames,
if the ptime attribute is not a multiple of 20 msec, the value MUST
be rounded up to a multiple of 20 msec. Rounding up is mandatory to
satisfy bandwidth limitations.
Implementations MUST support ptime of 20 msec (i.e. one frame per
packet)
An other way to make recommendations to the remote Speex encoder is
to use its specific parameters via the a=fmtp: directive. The
following parameters are defined for use in this way:
vbr: variable bit rate - either 'on' 'off' or 'vad' (defaults to
off). If on, variable bit rate is enabled. If off, disabled. If
set to 'vad' then constant bit rate is used but silence will be
encoded with special short frames to indicate a lack of voice for
that period.
cng: comfort noise generation - either 'on' or 'off'. If off then
silence frames will be silent; if 'on' then those frames will be
filled with comfort noise.
Herlein, et al. Expires November 30, 2007 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Speex May 2007
mode: List supported Speex decoding modes. The valid modes are
different for narrowband and wideband, and are defined as follows:
* {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,any} for narrowband
* {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,any} for wideband and ultra-wideband
Several 'mode' parameters can be provided. In this case, the
remote party SHOULD configure its encoder using the first
supported mode provided. When 'any' is used, the offerer
indicates that it supports all decoding modes. If the 'mode'
parameter is not provided, the mode value is considered to be
equivalent to 'mode=3;mode=any' in narrowband and
'mode=8;mode=any' in wideband and ultra-wideband.
Note that each speex frame does contains the mode (or bit-rate)
that should be used to decode it. Thus application MUST be able
to decode any speex frame unless the SDP clearly specify that some
modes are not supported. (e.g., by not including 'mode=any')
The tables below include the equivalence between modes and bitrates
for narrowband, wideband and ultra-wideband. Also, the corresponding
"Speex quality" setting (see SPEEX_SET_QUALITY in The Speex Codec
Manual [speex_manual]) is included as an indication.

Table 2
Examples:
m=audio 8008 RTP/AVP 97
a=rtpmap:97 speex/8000
a=fmtp:97 mode=4;mode=any
This examples illustrate an offerer that wishes to receive a Speex
stream at 8000Hz, and wishes to receive speex 'mode 4'. It is
important to understand that any other mode might still be sent by
remote party: the device might have bandwidth limitation or might
only be able to send 'mode=3'. Thus, application that support all
decoding modes SHOULD include 'mode=any' as shown in the example.
The offerer indicates the mode he wishes to receive (speex 'mode 6')
followed by all supported modes (all speex mode).
Herlein, et al. Expires November 30, 2007 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft Speex May 2007
m=audio 8088 RTP/AVP 97
a=rtmap:97 speex/8000
a=fmtp:97 mode=6;mode=any
The offerer indicates the mode he wishes to receive (speex 'mode 3').
This offer indicates mode 3 and mode 5 are supported and that no
other modes are supported. The remote party MUST not configure its
encoder using another speex mode.
m=audio 8088 RTP/AVP 97
a=rtmap:97 speex/8000
a=fmtp:97 mode=3;mode=5
Several Speex specific parameters can be given in a single a=fmtp
line provided that they are separated by a semi-colon:
a=fmtp:97 mode=1;mode=any;vbr=on
The offerer may indicate that it wishes to send variable bit rate
frames with comfort noise:
m=audio 8088 RTP/AVP 97
a=rtmap:97 speex/8000
a=fmtp:97 vbr=on;cng=on
The "ptime" attribute is used to denote the packetization interval
(ie, how many milliseconds of audio is encoded in a single RTP
packet). Since Speex uses 20 msec frames, ptime values of multiples
of 20 denote multiple Speex frames per packet. Values of ptime which
are not multiples of 20 MUST be rounded up to the first multiple of
20 above the ptime value.
In the example below the ptime value is set to 40, indicating that
there are 2 frames in each packet.
m=audio 8008 RTP/AVP 97
a=rtpmap:97 speex/8000
a=ptime:40
Note that the ptime parameter applies to all payloads listed in the
media line and is not used as part of an a=fmtp directive.
Care must be taken when setting the value of ptime so that the RTP
packet size does not exceed the path MTU.
Herlein, et al. Expires November 30, 2007 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft Speex May 2007
6. Implementation Guidelines
Implementations that supports speex are responsible for correctly
decoding incoming speex frames.
Each speex frame does contains all needed informations to decode
itself. In particular, the 'mode' and 'ptime' values proposed in the
SDP contents MUST not be used for decoding: those values are not
needed to properly decode a RTP speex stream.
Herlein, et al. Expires November 30, 2007 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft Speex May 2007
7. 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 any appropriate RTP profile. This
implies that confidentiality of the media streams is achieved by
encryption. Because the data compression used with this payload
format is applied end-to-end, encryption may be performed after
compression so there is no conflict between the two operations.
A potential denial-of-service threat exists for data encodings using
compression techniques that have non-uniform receiver-end
computational load. The attacker can inject pathological datagrams
into the stream which are complex to decode and cause the receiver to
be overloaded. However, this encoding does not exhibit any
significant non-uniformity.
As with any IP-based protocol, in some circumstances a receiver may
be overloaded simply by the receipt of too many packets, either
desired or undesired. Network-layer authentication may be used to
discard packets from undesired sources, but the processing cost of
the authentication itself may be too high.
