Need to relate all timestamps to Unix time

Open alvestrand opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

In the webrtc-pc spec, it is clear that the timestamp on a stats record is based on Unix time (https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-pc/#dom-rtcstats-timestamp). It is also mentioned elsewhere (in CSRC) that the value is performance.now() + performance.timeOrigin.

We have however not said explicitly that this basis is used for all timestamps in stats. We should say that (once).

Makes sense. would adding to the preamble section suffice?

Given the text in "Basic concepts":

Timestamps are expressed with DOMHighResTimeStamp [HIGHRES-TIME], and are defined as Performance.timeOrigin + Performance.now() at the time the information is collected.

I think this can be closed.
