RTCP is appropriate if (and only if) the statistics relate directly 
to the performance of the RTP stream.

Please look at the RTCP enhancements (in particular, RTCP "XR" 
(Extended Reports)) that have already been defined by the IETF.  (I 
can't give support to any RTP or RTCP modifications that aren't going 
through the standards process.)
