Problems and lack of interaction

Modulation and integration of this multimedia technology to Apps is still a big hole in web development. Something must be done!

Because new technologies are coming…

Google knows this, and along with the IETF they have developed WebRTC

Quality is always a big issue, obtaining good quality relies directly on the way software access

WebRTC performs the access to the hardware by directly using an integrated API in the browser

Forget about plugins!Go directly to the hardware…

…and integrate it like a canvas soyou can easily play with html5 or CSS3.

So, integrate it but how? Most protocols use their own scripting for this, or it is even impossible to do

so in browser

At the same time WebRTC is the only calling technology that allows interaction with SIP

gateways

One of the coolest features of WebRTC is the hability to integrate itself with the existing SIP protocol, as all the process of signaling is done by using Session Description Protocol (SDP) messages. That’s a gift!

Simple WebRTC API structure, which also allows the usage of a Data channel to transfer information between clients.It is important to notice that WebRTC connections are made browser-to-browser, server only works in the negotiation.

Why WebRTC then?

Simple API integration.Browser-to-browser communication, real peer-to-peer performance.SDP messages, standardization comes first!W3C consortium and Google supported.Google has its own browser for testing.Plays nicely with JavaScript, Html5 and CSS3.
