On this page you will find the results from an investigation into WebRTC conducted by the Service Activity 8 (SA8), Task 2 team of the GN4-1 project. Both the end report (WebRTC roadmap) and the internal deliverables (reports, proof of concepts, code) leading up to the end report are available here.
Reading guide:
The WebRTC roadmap report builds on the combined result of discussions within the task, observations done through-out the task period and the results of various technology scouts. Please note we provide the individual tech scout reports as a service to the community. They don't necessarily contain all results and observations but will definitely help anyone interested in the particular topic. The WebRTC roadmap report went through several external reviews. The individual tech scouts went through an internal Task 2 review and are rougher at the edges.
