Internet-Draft Google
Intended status: Standards Track November 28, 2014
Expires: June 1, 2015
Overview: Real Time Protocols for Browser-based Applications
draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview-13
Abstract
This document gives an overview and context of a protocol suite
intended for use with real-time applications that can be deployed in
browsers - "real time communication on the Web".
It intends to serve as a starting and coordination point to make sure
all the parts that are needed to achieve this goal are findable, and
that the parts that belong in the Internet protocol suite are fully
specified and on the right publication track.
This document is an Applicability Statement - it does not itself
specify any protocol, but specifies which other specifications WebRTC
compliant implementations are supposed to follow.
This document is a work item of the RTCWEB working group.
