Figure 15. RTP payload format for FU-B
The FU indicator octet has the following format:
+---------------+
|0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|F|NRI| Type |
+---------------+
Values equal to 28 and 29 in the type field of the FU indicator octet identify an FU-A and an FU-B, respectively.
The use of the F bit is described in [Section 5.3].
The value of the NRI field MUST be set according to the value of the NRI field in the fragmented NAL unit.
The FU header has the following format:
+---------------+
|0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|S|E|R| Type |
+---------------+
S: 1 bit
When set to one, the Start bit indicates the start of a
fragmented NAL unit. When the following FU payload is not the
start of a fragmented NAL unit payload, the Start bit is set
to zero.
E: 1 bit
When set to one, the End bit indicates the end of a fragmented
NAL unit, i.e., the last byte of the payload is also the last
byte of the fragmented NAL unit. When the following FU
payload is not the last fragment of a fragmented NAL unit, the
End bit is set to zero.
R: 1 bit
The Reserved bit MUST be equal to 0 and MUST be ignored by the
receiver.
Type: 5 bits
The NAL unit payload type was the fragmentation nalu type.
