NAMESPACE

The NAMESPACE message is similar to the PUBLISH_NAMESPACE message, except it is sent on the response stream of a SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE request. All NAMESPACE messages are in response to a SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE, so only the namespace tuples after the 'Track Namespace Prefix' are included in the 'Track Namespace Suffix'.

When Parameters of a NAMESPACE change, the NAMESPACE message is sent again with the updated Parameters.

NAMESPACE Message {
  Type (vi64) = 0x8,
  Length (vi64),
  Track Namespace Suffix (..),
  Number of Parameters (vi64),
  Parameters (..) ...
}
Figure 20: MOQT NAMESPACE Message
  • Track Namespace Suffix: Specifies the final portion of a track's namespace as defined in Section 8.7 after removing namespace tuples included in 'Track Namespace Prefix' Section 9.14.

  • Parameters: The parameters are defined in Section 9.19.

This is one section of the MoQT specification, rendered per-section for quick reference and citation. The authoritative text is draft-ietf-moq-transport-23 at the IETF.
