Technical Summary
The Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) framework provides support
for direct interactive rich communication using audio, video, text,
and other media between two peers' web-browsers. This
document describes the media transport aspects of the WebRTC framework.
It specifies how the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is used in
the WebRTC context, and gives requirements for which RTP features,
profiles, and extensions need to be supported.
Working Group Summary
The document passed initial WG last call at version 14, with an
outstanding issue about FEC remaining; that has since been split
into a new document (draft-ietf-rtcweb-fec). Between that draft and
this there were also additional comments on video orientation and
media stream identification which resulted in new text. I do not believe
there were areas where consensus is particularly rough at this point.
Document Quality
There are multiple implementations of the WebRTC framework
and they generally interoperate. The review of the draft by the
working group was adequate, if prolonged. It should be noted
that some less-used aspects of RTP processing are well-understood
by only a small number of participants, but the related matters
appear to be resolved.
Personnel
Ted Hardie is the Document Shepherd. Alissa Cooper is the Responsible
Area Director.
RFC Editor Note
draft-ietf-avtcore-rtp-topologies-update should be changed from a
normative reference to an informative reference.
