Creative subtypes (audio and video) value 6 means VAST 3.0 Wrapper
VAST 3.0 Wrapper: a VAST 3.0 response that redirects to another VAST document.
When to send it
Send 6 when the player follows VAST 3.0 wrappers. Together with 2, 3, and 5, it forms the set most web video players have listed for years.
Buyers who wrap creative in their own ad server or verification tags in VAST 3.0 need 6. A player that accepts 3 but not 6 effectively requires the bidder to return the final inline document, which many DSPs cannot do. It is confused with 3, and with 8 (VAST 4.0 Wrapper).
