Webrtc源码开发笔记1 —Webrtc视频编码打包流程模块图解

本章旨在梳理webrtc从transceiver到transport流程，从而宏观上了解webrtc视频采集，编码，打包发送等相关流程与相关模块的对应关系，为开发和快速定位问题提供参考。

第1小节选择以transceiver为起点，transceiver在peerconnection中承接了控制数据收发的功能，内部关联了ChannelInterface与RtpSenderInternal和RtpReceiverInternal。其中channel相关模块负责维护数据收发的业务流程，以视频发送为例，其中Stream相关模块用于视频编码和实现rtp/rtcp相关功能，最终打包后的数据由BaseChannel内的tramsport模块实现视频发送。下图列举了从采集到视频帧到编码和打包的主要模块和流程。

第2小节主要梳理Channel相关模块。Channel是Webrtc实现数据收发相关业务的主要模块，目前Webrtc中有多种Channel，我们将通过视频打包发送流程简单梳理这些Channel的功能以及之间的关系。

第3小节主要介绍Call和Stream相关模块。Call中创建了各种Stream，这些Stream存在于Channel中，封装了数据编解码以及RTP打包、RTCP处理相关功能。

第4小节梳理了视频发送RTP/RTCP相关模块间的关系。

1. RtpTransceiver

下面是RtpTransceiver的注释

 // Implementation of the public RtpTransceiverInterface.  //  // The RtpTransceiverInterface is only intended to be used with a PeerConnection  // that enables Unified Plan SDP. Thus, the methods that only need to implement  // public API features and are not used internally can assume exactly one sender  // and receiver.  //  // Since the RtpTransceiver is used internally by PeerConnection for tracking  // RtpSenders, RtpReceivers, and BaseChannels, and PeerConnection needs to be  // backwards compatible with Plan B SDP, this implementation is more flexible  // than that required by the WebRTC specification.  //  // With Plan B SDP, an RtpTransceiver can have any number of senders and  // receivers which map to a=ssrc lines in the m= section.  // With Unified Plan SDP, an RtpTransceiver will have exactly one sender and one  // receiver which are encapsulated by the m= section.  //  // This class manages the RtpSenders, RtpReceivers, and BaseChannel associated  // with this m= section. Since the transceiver, senders, and receivers are  // reference counted and can be referenced from JavaScript (in Chromium), these  // objects must be ready to live for an arbitrary amount of time. The  // BaseChannel is not reference counted and is owned by the ChannelManager, so  // the PeerConnection must take care of creating/deleting the BaseChannel and  // setting the channel reference in the transceiver to null when it has been  // deleted.  //  // The RtpTransceiver is specialized to either audio or video according to the  // MediaType specified in the constructor. Audio RtpTransceivers will have  // AudioRtpSenders, AudioRtpReceivers, and a VoiceChannel. Video RtpTransceivers  // will have VideoRtpSenders, VideoRtpReceivers, and a VideoChannel.

这里RtpTransceiver实现RtpTransceiverInterface，用于实现PeerConnection中Unified Plan SDP所指定的通用功能。其主要用于PeerConnection中维护RtpSenders, RtpReceivers和BaseChannels，同时其设计兼容B SDP。这里Unified Plan SDP中 m= section  指定维护一个sender和一个receiver，Plan B SDP中会维护多个sender和receiver，用a=ssrc区分。这里BaseChannel的生命周期是由ChannelManager管理的，RtpTransceiver中只保持对其指针的使用。对于音频或者视频数据的收发，分别通过AudioRtpSenders, AudioRtpReceivers和VoiceChannel 与 VideoRtpSenders, VideoRtpReceivers,VideoChannel实现。

 //RtpTransceiver创建实例 audio_transceiver_ = RtpTransceiverProxyWithInternal<RtpTransceiver>::Create(              signaling_thread_,new RtpTransceiver(audio_sender_, audio_receiver_, channel_manager_));  //设置ssrc与channel  audio_transceiver_->internal()->SetChannel(voice_channel_);  audio_transceiver_->internal()->sender_internal()->SetSsrc(streams[0].first_ssrc());  //详细方法用法可以参考 "pc/rtp_transceiver_unitest.cc”和PeerConnection。

2.Channel相关模块

上文RtpTransceiver主要用于对应SDP中收发相关实现，具体业务逻辑是在Channel相关模块中实现，相比之前VieChannel现在Channel模块中包含的流程有所减少，主要维护编解码，RTP/RTCP相关逻辑模块以及维护Transport模块发送等，其中编解码与RTP/RTCP相关处理逻辑主要在Call模块下创建的各种Stream中封装。目前Webrtc中有多种Channel，下面简单梳理一下Channel间关系，然后针对视频发送流程整理一下每层Channel中对应的主要功能。

2.1 VideoChannel

VideoChannel是channel中的最外层，对应音频为VoiceChannel，RtpTransceiver模块中的BaseChannel可以设置为VideoChannel或者VoiceChannel。这里对外主要提供SetLocalContent_w和SetRemoteContent_w方法，也就是只要得到SDP解析后的封装cricket::VideoContentDescription的对象，就可以初始化VideoChannel。另外一个重要方法就是SetRtpTransport，这里可以设置当前选中真正数据发送的Transport模块。

2.2BaseChannel

BaseChannel是VideoChannel的父类，这里关联了两个重要模块。RtpTransportInternal指向实际负责数据收发功能的模块，最终打包好的RTP/RTCP信息会调用这里的发送功能发出。MediaChannel指针最终指向的实现是WebRtcVideoChannel，这里封装了编码和rtp打包rtcp处理的相关操作。

2.3 WebRtcVideoChannel

WebRtcVideoChannel是各种channel中最下层的一类，其中维护了WebRtcVideoSendStream和WebRtcVideoReceiveStream，这些模块中封装了上层传入的视频source和encoder，其内部VideoSendStream最终封装了编码器模块和RTP/RTCP模块。

3.Call模块与Stream

call/call.h中注释如下

 // A Call instance can contain several send and/or receive streams. All streams  // are assumed to have the same remote endpoint and will share bitrate estimates  // etc.

这里介绍Call实例中包含多个发送和接收流，同时这里规定这些流都是与同一个远端通信，共享一个带宽估计。

Call相关模块主要在源码目录中call文件夹下，其中在初始化Webrtc时需要初始化一个Call对象，主要提供VideoSendStream，VideoReceiveStream等模块。创建Call时可以使用webrtc::Call::Config作为参数，配置带宽相关，同时还可以配置fec，neteq，network_state_predictor的相关factory，可见数据包收发控制相关内容都与Call相关模块有关。下面是一个初始化Call模块的简单例子。

 webrtc::Call::Config call_config(event_log);     FieldTrialParameter<DataRate> min_bandwidth("min", DataRate::kbps(30)); FieldTrialParameter<DataRate> start_bandwidth("start", DataRate::kbps(300)); FieldTrialParameter<DataRate> max_bandwidth("max", DataRate::kbps(2000));  ParseFieldTrial({ &min_bandwidth, &start_bandwidth, &max_bandwidth }, trials_->Lookup("WebRTC-PcFactoryDefaultBitrates"));       call_config.bitrate_config.min_bitrate_bps = rtc::saturated_cast<int>(min_bandwidth->bps());  call_config.bitrate_config.start_bitrate_bps =rtc::saturated_cast<int>(start_bandwidth->bps());  call_config.bitrate_config.max_bitrate_bps = rtc::saturated_cast<int>(max_bandwidth->bps());       call_config.fec_controller_factory = nullptr; call_config.task_queue_factory = task_queue_factory_.get(); call_config.network_state_predictor_factory = nullptr; call_config.neteq_factory = nullptr; call_config.trials = trials_.get();       std::unique_ptr<Call>(call_factory_->CreateCall(call_config));

VideoSendStream由Call对象创建，真正实现是实现internal::VideoSendStream。

VideoSendStreamImpl，位于video/video_send_stream_impl.cc。下面是VideoSendStreamImpl的注释。

 // VideoSendStreamImpl implements internal::VideoSendStream.  // It is created and destroyed on |worker_queue|. The intent is to decrease the  // need for locking and to ensure methods are called in sequence.  // Public methods except |DeliverRtcp| must be called on |worker_queue|.  // DeliverRtcp is called on the libjingle worker thread or a network thread.  // An encoder may deliver frames through the EncodedImageCallback on an  // arbitrary thread.

VideoSendStreamImpl创建销毁位了保证顺序，需要在worker_queue中进行。DeliverRtcp会在网络线程被调用。编码器可能通过任意线程通过EncodedImageCallback接口抛出编码后的数据。这里数据会转到RtpVideoSenderInterface的实现类中进行RTP打包和相关处理。

VideoStreamEncoder中封装了编码相关操作，Source传入原始数据，Sink吐出编码后的数据，同时有码率设置，关键帧请求等接口。

4.RTP/RTCP

视频编码完成数据到达RtpVideoSenderInterface接口后，下一步就进入RTP/RTCP相关操作的模块中。这里类比较多，命名相似，需要仔细梳理。

4.1 RtpStreamSender

位于call/rtp_video_sender.h / call/rtp_video_sender.cc

 // RtpVideoSender routes outgoing data to the correct sending RTP module, based  // on the simulcast layer in RTPVideoHeader.

这里RtpVideoSender的作用是根据RTP头将RTP包送到对应的模块。RtpVideoSender中持有一个RtpStreamSender数组，这里就是创建每个具体的rtp流发送模块，这里会根据当前rtp设置中ssrc的数量创建多个RtpStreamSender。RtpStreamSender中的很多模块将在RtpVideoSender中初始化。其中RtpRtcp和RTPSenderVideo是其主要组成部分。下面这个函数非常重要，可以具体看到RtpStreamSender中的元素是如何初始化的。

 std::vector<RtpStreamSender> CreateRtpStreamSenders(      Clock* clock,      const RtpConfig& rtp_config,      const RtpSenderObservers& observers,      int rtcp_report_interval_ms,      Transport* send_transport,      RtcpBandwidthObserver* bandwidth_callback,      RtpTransportControllerSendInterface* transport,      FlexfecSender* flexfec_sender,      RtcEventLog* event_log,      RateLimiter* retransmission_rate_limiter,      OverheadObserver* overhead_observer,      FrameEncryptorInterface* frame_encryptor,      const CryptoOptions& crypto_options) {    RTC_DCHECK_GT(rtp_config.ssrcs.size(), 0);      RtpRtcp::Configuration configuration;    configuration.clock = clock;    configuration.audio = false;    configuration.receiver_only = false;    configuration.outgoing_transport = send_transport;    configuration.intra_frame_callback = observers.intra_frame_callback;    configuration.rtcp_loss_notification_observer =        observers.rtcp_loss_notification_observer;    configuration.bandwidth_callback = bandwidth_callback;    configuration.network_state_estimate_observer =        transport->network_state_estimate_observer();    configuration.transport_feedback_callback =        transport->transport_feedback_observer();    configuration.rtt_stats = observers.rtcp_rtt_stats;    configuration.rtcp_packet_type_counter_observer =        observers.rtcp_type_observer;    configuration.paced_sender = transport->packet_sender();    configuration.send_bitrate_observer = observers.bitrate_observer;    configuration.send_side_delay_observer = observers.send_delay_observer;    configuration.send_packet_observer = observers.send_packet_observer;    configuration.event_log = event_log;    configuration.retransmission_rate_limiter = retransmission_rate_limiter;    configuration.overhead_observer = overhead_observer;    configuration.rtp_stats_callback = observers.rtp_stats;    configuration.frame_encryptor = frame_encryptor;    configuration.require_frame_encryption =        crypto_options.sframe.require_frame_encryption;    configuration.extmap_allow_mixed = rtp_config.extmap_allow_mixed;    configuration.rtcp_report_interval_ms = rtcp_report_interval_ms;      std::vector<RtpStreamSender> rtp_streams;    const std::vector<uint32_t>& flexfec_protected_ssrcs =        rtp_config.flexfec.protected_media_ssrcs;    RTC_DCHECK(rtp_config.rtx.ssrcs.empty() ||               rtp_config.rtx.ssrcs.size() == rtp_config.rtx.ssrcs.size());    for (size_t i = 0; i < rtp_config.ssrcs.size(); ++i) {      configuration.local_media_ssrc = rtp_config.ssrcs[i];      bool enable_flexfec = flexfec_sender != nullptr &&                            std::find(flexfec_protected_ssrcs.begin(),                                      flexfec_protected_ssrcs.end(),                                      configuration.local_media_ssrc) !=                                flexfec_protected_ssrcs.end();      configuration.flexfec_sender = enable_flexfec ? flexfec_sender : nullptr;      auto playout_delay_oracle = std::make_unique<PlayoutDelayOracle>();        configuration.ack_observer = playout_delay_oracle.get();      if (rtp_config.rtx.ssrcs.size() > i) {        configuration.rtx_send_ssrc = rtp_config.rtx.ssrcs[i];      }        auto rtp_rtcp = RtpRtcp::Create(configuration);      rtp_rtcp->SetSendingStatus(false);      rtp_rtcp->SetSendingMediaStatus(false);      rtp_rtcp->SetRTCPStatus(RtcpMode::kCompound);      // Set NACK.      rtp_rtcp->SetStorePacketsStatus(true, kMinSendSidePacketHistorySize);        FieldTrialBasedConfig field_trial_config;      RTPSenderVideo::Config video_config;      video_config.clock = configuration.clock;      video_config.rtp_sender = rtp_rtcp->RtpSender();      video_config.flexfec_sender = configuration.flexfec_sender;      video_config.playout_delay_oracle = playout_delay_oracle.get();      video_config.frame_encryptor = frame_encryptor;      video_config.require_frame_encryption =          crypto_options.sframe.require_frame_encryption;      video_config.need_rtp_packet_infos = rtp_config.lntf.enabled;      video_config.enable_retransmit_all_layers = false;      video_config.field_trials = &field_trial_config;      const bool should_disable_red_and_ulpfec =          ShouldDisableRedAndUlpfec(enable_flexfec, rtp_config);      if (rtp_config.ulpfec.red_payload_type != -1 &&          !should_disable_red_and_ulpfec) {        video_config.red_payload_type = rtp_config.ulpfec.red_payload_type;      }      if (rtp_config.ulpfec.ulpfec_payload_type != -1 &&          !should_disable_red_and_ulpfec) {        video_config.ulpfec_payload_type = rtp_config.ulpfec.ulpfec_payload_type;      }      auto sender_video = std::make_unique<RTPSenderVideo>(video_config);      rtp_streams.emplace_back(std::move(playout_delay_oracle),                               std::move(rtp_rtcp), std::move(sender_video));    }    return rtp_streams;  }

RtpRtcp这里负责RTCP数据的处理和收发，对应的实现是ModuleRtpRtcpImpl，ModuleRtpRtcpImpl实现了RtpRtcp和MoudleRtpRtcp两个接口，实现了rtcp处理相关功能。同时内部还持有实体std::unique_ptr<RtpSenderContext> rtp_sender_，RTCPSender rtcp_sender，RTCPReceiver rtcp_receiver_用于rtp/rtcp的收发。

RTPSenderVideo封装了具体发送的逻辑，内部发送模块实际指向RtpRtcp中的实体。这里还有fec相关功能开关的控制逻辑。

RTPSender实例在RtpRtcp中，RTPSenderVideo中持有这个实例的指针，其中封装了Pacer和PacketHistory模块，用于控制发送频率和重传。最终在PacedSender中交给PacketRouter，最终交给RtpSenderEgress的Transport指针指向对象。这个对象就是最开始的WebRtcVideoChannel，WebRtcVideoChannel调用其中的RTPTransport将rtp包发送到网络。
