How Far Are We from WebRTC-1.0? An Update on Standards and a Look at What's Next

Real-time communication between browsers has represented an unprecedented standardization effort involving both the IETF and the W3C. These activities have involved both the real-time protocol suite and the application-level JavaScript APIs to be offered to developers in order to allow them to easily implement interoperable real-time multimedia applications in the web. This article sheds light on the current status of standardization, with special focus on the upcoming final release of the so-called WebRTC-1.0 standard ecosystem. It takes stock of the situation with respect to hot topics such as codecs, session description and stream multiplexing. It also briefly discusses how standard bodies are dealing with seamless integration of the initially competing effort known as "Object Real Time Communications."
