IETF Internet-Draft registers an “m2ts” packaging value for carrying MPEG-2 TS and M2TS packets natively over MOQT.
Key Takeaways
Extends the MOQT Streaming Format (MSF) to map consecutive 188-byte TS or 192-byte M2TS source packets directly into MOQT Objects, no new container defined.
Catalog fields cover packet size, packets per object, PMT PID, PCR PID, PSI repeat interval, SCTE-35 PID, random access flags, and timestamp mode.
m2tsPacketSize must be exactly 188 or 192; receivers validate object payload length independently of the advisory m2tsPacketsPerObject field.
initData carries Base64-encoded PAT/PMT packets so subscribers can join mid-stream without waiting for PSI; publishers must update it on PSI changes.
Targets contribution feeds, broadcast workflows, and existing HLS/DASH pipelines that already emit packetized transport streams.
