5.6. Single NAL Unit Packet

5.6. Single NAL Unit Packet

The single NAL unit packet defined here MUST contain only one NAL unit of the types defined in [1]. This means that neither an aggregation packet nor a fragmentation unit can be used within a single NAL unit packet. A NAL unit stream composed by de-packetizing single NAL unit packets in RTP sequence number order MUST conform to the NAL unit decoding order. The structure of the single NAL unit packet is shown in Figure 2.

Informative note: The first byte of a NAL unit co-serves as the RTP payload header.
