AVG AD COUNT	`vod` Playback Type only. The average number of ads served per ad break.
100% VIEW RATE	The percentage of ads that was viewed to completion.
COMPLETION RATE	The percentage of ad breaks that was viewed to completion.
AD SERVER FILL RATE	The percentage of ad break duration that was filled. This statistic is calculated using the following formula: `Ad Server Fill Rate = (Response Break Dur / Requested Break Dur) * 100`
