A WebRTC Primer

摘要

WebRTC is the term used to describe the growing trend of web real-time communication. The technology allows for real-time voice and video interactions from a web browser or other peer node without requiring special client software or requiring a server between the two endpoints. It takes the components of a typical VoIP media engine into a browser or any other peer endpoint with a simple API that a web server can control. That means developers can build realtime communication into web pages, existing software applications, or wherever else they want - and do so more easily and affordably than they could've in the past.
