Transmitting voice over Internet has been around for decades, so the principles behind it are not new. In the last 15 years or so there has also been a huge standardization effort to ensure VoIP providers could integrate to each other and interoperate with other telephony systems like PSTN (and GSM). In the meantime, the Open Source approach has spread all over the technology spectrum and now almost all the components involved in a VoIP system have their robust, scalable, Open Source implementation (noticeable exceptions being the very successful Skype, which led the market with proprietary solutions). Whilst Internet and PSTN/GSM have naturally converged (see for example the IMS approach), until a few years ago VoIP remained basically isolated from Web browsers, apart from some plug-in solutions. WebRTC is an Open Source project, mainly led by Google, which aims to bring VoIP inside the Web browsers, with high quality, secure, audio and video. This presentation focuses on the main components and principles behind WebRTC, and how easy the WebRTC APIs are to use After the presentation, there will be a hands on session where attendees can experiment with the WebRTC APIs and even build a rudimentary videochat in less than an hour.
