We've a packed agenda

Goal for today: introduce what's going on re WebRTC standardization (in 10 min)

We'll go deeper into details in future sessions

Offline discussions/follow-ups: you can contact me at victor.pascual.avila@gmail.com

WebRTC standardization WebRTC can be seen from two angles

� W3C WebRTC set of RTC APIs for Web-browsers

� IETF RTCWEB new ‘protocol profile’ -- it's about media

(can be used in non-Web endpoints)

Other activities� SIP Forum WebRTC Task Group� 3GPP “WebRTC access to IMS (IMS-WEBRTC)”� IMTC WebRTC Interoperability Activity Group

Recommended reading� A Hitchhiker’s Guide to WebRTC standardization (July 2013)

Watch List WebRTC moving really fast, lots of early implementations, customer trials... BUT

still a number of open issues and items to include into the watch list (non-exhaustive):

� Browser support and industry commitment

� Signaling options for WebRTC

� WebRTC-SIP interworking

Impact on Signaling and media planes incl. RCS and VoLTE strategy

� Strict firewall and HTTP-middlebox traversal

� Video Codec discussion (i.e. VP8 vs H.264)

Current plan (as per Friday 13 Sept) is to make a decision by Nov 2013� Media codecs (support beyond G.711 and Opus?)

� SDP Offer/Answer discussion and competing API proposals

WebRTC 1.0 vs WebRTC 2.0� Security aspects (e.g. media encryption DTLS-SRTP vs SDES -- re-encryption, EKT?)

� Mobile and non-Web endpoints (apps, set-top-boxes, Smart TV, etc.)

� Federation, Identity management, credentials and user authentication

� Regulation, charging, QoS, etc.
