Considerations for Handling Media Clipping at the RTP Layer This section provides informative guideline about how media clipping is shaped and how the mixer deal with the media clipping only at the RTP layer.

If the time slot for substitutive content mismatches (is shorter or longer than) the duration of the main content to be replaced, then media clipping may occur at the splicing point and thus impact the user's experience. If the substitutive content has shorter duration from the main content, then there will be a gap in the output RTP stream. The RTP sequence number will be contiguous across this gap, but there will be an unexpected jump in the RTP timestamp.

Commonly no RTP level security mechanism is employed. Instead only payload security mechanisms (e.g., ISMACryp [ISMACryp]) are used. If any payload internal security mechanisms are used, only the RTP sender and the RTP receiver can learn the security keying material generated by such internal security mechanism, in which case, any middlebox (e.g., splicer) between the RTP sender and the RTP receiver can't get such keying material, and thus fail to perform splicing. + This would require a new method to be defined to make the splicer + learn the security keying material, but which is out of scope of this + memo. 7.
