5.7.1. Single-Time Aggregation Packet (STAP)
A single-time aggregation packet (STAP) SHOULD be used whenever NAL units are aggregated that all share the same NALU-time. The payload of an STAP-A does not include DON and consists of at least one single-time aggregation unit, as presented in Figure 4. The payload of an STAP-B consists of a 16-bit unsigned decoding order number (DON) (in network byte order) followed by at least one single-time aggregation unit, as presented in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Payload format for STAP-B
The DON field specifies the value of DON for the first NAL unit in an STAP-B in transmission order. For each successive NAL unit in appearance order in an STAP-B, the value of DON is equal to (the value of DON of the previous NAL unit in the STAP-B + 1) % 65536, in which '%' stands for the modulo operation.
A single-time aggregation unit consists of 16-bit unsigned size information (in network byte order) that indicates the size of the following NAL unit in bytes (excluding these two octets, but including the NAL unit type octet of the NAL unit), followed by the NAL unit itself, including its NAL unit type byte. A single-time aggregation unit is byte aligned within the RTP payload, but it may not be aligned on a 32-bit word boundary. Figure 6 presents the structure of the single-time aggregation unit.
