  • Abstract
    Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) is an upcoming standard that aims to enable real-time communication among Web browsers in a peer-to-peer fashion. The IETF RTCWeb and W3C WebRTC working groups are jointly defining both the APIs and the underlying communication protocols for setting up and managing a reliable communication channel between any pair of next-generation Web browsers.
