WebRTC introduction
- 2. WHAT IS WEBRTC? Web Browsers with Real-Time-Communication A new API for embedding real-time communications into websites and browser-based applications. Become standard capabilities of the modern web browsers.
- 3. WEBRTC • Accessed through JavaScript API • No plugins, downloads or installs • Cross browsers and platforms (Chrome and Firefox) • Audio/Video conference • File/Screen Sharing • Speech Recognition • Voice/Text translation • Audio/Video recording • Broadcast • Integrate with PSTN or mobile networks to receive calls on any device

- 10. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE • • • • WebRTC client requirements Codecs Enterprise level architecture Online resources
- 11. WEBRTC CLIENT REQUIREMENTS Port Requirements To use WebRTC please ensure that the following ports are not blocked. TCP: port 80 and 443 UDP: all ports between 10,000 and 60,000 Minimum Bandwidth Requirements Upload: 8 kilobytes/second Download: 8 kilobytes/second
- 12. WHAT CODECS ARE SUPPORTED? The currently supported voice codecs are Opus, G.711, G.722, iLBC, and iSAC, and VP8 is the supported video codec. The list of supported codecs may change in the future. Opus is both preferred audio codec in Chrome and Firefox now.
- 13. ENTERPRISE LEVEL ARCHITECTURE Signaling servers (mandatory) It is mandatory for WebRTC peer connection.
- 14. ENTERPRISE LEVEL ARCHITECTURE ICE servers (mandatory) WebRTC is bound to use ICE servers because we need to make sure users' Firewalls MUST NOT block UDP or TCP ports. Also we need to fallback to relaying ICE server to traverse NATs.
- 15. ENTERPRISE LEVEL ARCHITECTURE Service capable to capture and process RTP packets e.g. transcode, record or merge them on server end. Capable to handle huge bandwidth/relay stream over peers. Media servers (optional)
