Real Time Communications with WebRTC
Real Time Communications with WebRTC Real Time Communications with WebRTC explains how browsers can send audio, video, and data directly, with help from signaling when needed. It focuses on practical ideas you can use to build simple, reliable experiences for users around the world. How WebRTC Works Signaling to exchange offers and ICE candidates. Negotiation creates a direct or relay path for media and data. NAT traversal uses ICE with STUN and, if required, TURN servers. Media streams travel through RTCPeerConnection; RTCDataChannel can carry text or files. Core Components RTCPeerConnection handles the network path, while getUserMedia captures local media. RTCDataChannel enables non-media data. A signaling server shares session descriptions and candidates but does not move media. STUN and TURN help when peers are behind firewalls. ...
