RTCInboundRtpStreamStats.sliCount

The sliCount property of the RTCInboundRtpStreamStats dictionary indicates how many Slice Loss Indication (SLI) packets the RTCRtpReceiver for which this object provdes statistics sent to the remote RTCRtpSender.

An SLI packet is used by a decoder to let the encoder know that it's detected corruption of one or more consecutive macroblocks (in scan order) in the received media.

In general, what's usually of interest is that the higher this number is, the more the stream data is becoming corrupted between the sender and the receiver, requiring resends or dropping frames.

Syntax

var sliCount = rtcInboundRtpStreamStats.sliCount;

Value

An unsigned integer indicating the number of SLI packets this receiver sent to the remote sender due to lost runs of macroblocks. A high value of sliCount may be an indication of an unreliable network.

This is a very technical part of how video codecs work. For details, see RFC 4585: 6.3.2.

Note: This value is only present for video media.
