Answer» We think you’ll want to build your next video-chat style application using WebRTC. Here’s why:
- A key factor in the success of the web is that its core technologies – such as HTML, HTTP, and TCP/IP – are open and freely implementable. CURRENTLY, there is no free, high-quality, complete solution available that enables COMMUNICATION in the browser. WebRTC enables this.
- Already integrated with best-of-breed VOICE and video engines that have been deployed on millions of endpoints over the last 8+ years. Google does not charge royalties for WebRTC.
- Includes and abstracts key NAT and firewall traversal technology, using STUN, ICE, TURN, RTP-over-TCP and support for proxies.
- Builds on the strength of the web browser: WebRTC abstracts signaling by offering a signaling state machine that MAPS directly to PeerConnection. Web developers can therefore choose the protocol of choice for their usage scenario (for example, but not limited to, SIP, XMPP/Jingle, et al.).
