Video stats

Overview of collected statistics for VideoSendStream and VideoReceiveStream.

VideoSendStream

VideoSendStream::Stats for a sending stream can be gathered via VideoSendStream::GetStats().

Some statistics are collected per RTP stream (see StreamStats) and can be of StreamType: kMedia, kRtx, kFlexfec.

Multiple StreamStats objects are for example present if simulcast is used (multiple kMedia objects) or if RTX or FlexFEC is negotiated.

SendStatisticsProxy

VideoSendStream owns a SendStatisticsProxy which implements VideoStreamEncoderObserver, RtcpStatisticsCallback, ReportBlockDataObserver, RtcpPacketTypeCounterObserver, StreamDataCountersCallback, BitrateStatisticsObserver, FrameCountObserver, SendSideDelayObserver and holds a VideoSendStream::Stats object.

SendStatisticsProxy is called via these interfaces by different components (e.g. RtpRtcp module) to update stats.

StreamStats

• type - kMedia, kRtx or kFlexfec.
• referenced_media_ssrc - only present for type kRtx/kFlexfec. The SSRC for the kMedia stream that retransmissions or FEC is performed for.
