* Do not restart on receiver side.
Restart with wrap back causes issues in the forwarding path
as the subscriber assumes the extended type from receiver side does
not restart.
Restart was an attempt to include as many packets as possible, but
in practice is not super useful. So, taking it out. Can clean up
a bit more stuff, but want to run this first and check for any oddities.
* fix test
The buffer is not for padding packets. So, calculate
adjusted sequence numbers before comparing against size.
Also, it is possible that invalidated slot is accessed
due to not being able to exclude padding range. This was
causing time stamp reset to 0. Will remove the error log
after this goes out and the condition does not show up
for a few days.
* More fine grained filtering NACKs after a key frame.
There are applications with periodic key frame.
So, a packet lost before a key frame will not be retransmitted.
But, decoder could wait (jitter buffer, play out time) and cause
a stutter.
Idea behind disabling NACKs after key frame was another knob to
throttle retransmission bit rate. But, with spaced out retransmissions
and max retransmissions per sequence number, there are throttles.
This would provide more throttling, but affects some applications.
So, disabling filtering NACKs after a key frame.
Introducing another flag to disallow layers. This would still be quite
useful, i. e. under congestion the stream allocator would move the
target lower. But, because of congestion, higher layer would have lost
a bunch of packets. Client would NACK those. Retransmitting those higher
layer packets would congest the channel more. The new flag (default
enabled) would disallow higher layers retransmission. This was happening
before this change also, just splitting out the flag for more control.
* split flag
* Log skew in clock rate.
Remember seeing sender report time stamp moving backward
across mute with replaceTrack(null). Not able to reproduce
it in JS sample app, but have seen it elsewhere.
Logging to understand it better. Wondering if the sender report
should be reset on time stamp moving backward or if we should drop
backwards moving reports.
* set threshold at 20%
* Use 32-bit time stamp to get reference time stamp on a switch.
With relay and dyncast and migration, it is possible that different
layers of a simulcast get out of sync in terms of extended type,
i. e. layer 0 could keep running and its timestamp could have
wrapped around and bumped the extended timestamp. But, another layer
could start and stop.
One possible solution is sending the extended timestamp across relay.
But, that breaks down during migration if publisher has started afresh.
Subscriber could still be using extended range.
So, use 32-bit timestamp to infer reference timestamp and patch it with
expected extended time stamp to derive the extended reference.
* use calculated value
* make it test friendly
Seeing a large positive gap which I am not able to explain.
Wondering if at some other time, a large negative is happening
and the large positive is just a correction.
* Log resync at Infow.
Seeing potentially large sequence number jumps on a resync.
And it seems to happen on a lot of subscribe/unsubscribe.
Logging at Infow to understand better.
Probably need to find a way to avoid resync. But, logging for now to
check if I can catch one.
* Remove resync and log large sequence number jumps
* Use bit map.
Also, duplicate packet detection is impoetant for dropping padding
only packets at the publisher side itself. In the last PR, mentioned
that it is only for stats.
* clean up
* Update deps
* Reduce packet meta data cache - part 1
Packet meta data cache takes a good amount of space.
That cache is 8K entries deep and each entry is 8 bytes.
So, that takes 64KB per RTP stream.
It is mostly needed for down stream to line up with receiver reports.
So, removing cache from up stream (RTPStatsReceiver) as part 1.
Will look at optimising the down stream in part 2.
* Remove caching from RTPStatsReceiver
* clean up a bit more
* maintain history and fix test
* Split RTPStats into receiver and sender.
For receiver, short types are input and need to calculate extended type.
For sender (subscriber), it can operate only in extended type.
This makes the subscriber side a little simpler and should make it more
efficient as it can do simple comparisons in extended type space.
There was also an issue with subscriber using shorter type and
calculating extended type. When subscriber starts after the publisher
has already rolled over in sequence number OR timestamp, when
subsequent publisher side sender reports are used to adjust subscriber
time stamps, they were out of whack. Using extended type on subscriber
does not face that.

* extended types from sequencer
