Interop

VOIP and WebRTC in Real World Communications VOIP and WebRTC are two common ways to move voice and video over the internet. VOIP uses a traditional setup with servers and gateways. WebRTC runs inside modern browsers and apps, so you can start calls without extra software. Both aim to make real-time conversations simple, affordable, and available on many devices. How they work VOIP usually uses signaling protocols like SIP to set up a call and route audio through servers. Media then travels as voice packets over real networks. WebRTC builds a direct media path when possible, with built‑in encryption, but it still needs a signaling channel to agree on who talks to whom and how the media will flow. If direct paths fail due to network restrictions, TURN servers help by relaying traffic. This mix keeps calls functional across firewalls and mobile networks. ...

The Future of Operating Systems: Trends to Watch Operating systems are changing from a single software layer to a smarter, safer runtime. AI helpers, better security, and modular designs are joining the core of many systems. At the same time, new hardware features and edge devices push OS developers to be faster and more energy efficient. The result is an OS that can adapt to work offline, on the go, or in the cloud, while keeping user data safer and more private. ...
