# Ad Decision Server (ADS) response
<a name="overlay-ads-ads-response"></a>

The ADS response must contain one valid tracking event. At minimum, the tracking event can be an `Impression` tracking event. The tracking event should contain at least one `NonLinear` ad. This ad is the overlay ad, taking the form of a static, HTML, or iFrame resource.

```
<vmap AdBreak breaktype="linear" breakId="csoverlay"
```

If the VAST response is a VMAP with `breakType` of `nonlinear`, the avail metadata is inside the `nonLinearAvails` root object. If the VAST response is a VMAP with a `breakType` of `linear`, or is a plain VAST response without VMAP, the avail metadata is inside the `avails` root object.

The following VAST response is a wrapped VMAP response with a `breakType` value of `linear`.

In addition to the wrapped VMAP response, MediaTailor also supports a wrapped VMAP response with a `breakType` value of `nonlinear`, and a plain VAST response.
