A very brief introduction to WebRTC and the Janus WebRTC Platform for FOSS Stockholm

1. Janus, WebRTC and
stuff
oej Foss Stockholm Jan 2019
v1.0

2. WebRTC

3. The idea
Browers can play
audio and video. Why not let them use
the webcam and the
microphone?
If so, users can talk to
each other using the
browser.
Using NO PLUGINS

4. Much more than ”calls”
GAMES
DATING SITES
ART

5. Much more than ”media”
DATACHANNELS
p2p (or
browser2browser)
Anything!

6. Secure peer-to-peer
Using DTLS + SRTP for media
Web Server
“Rendevouz”

7. Much more than browsers
Browser
Thing with

SIP, XMPP, DecNet

8. Much more than browsers

10. P2P SCTP over UDP

11. WebRTC API
JavaScript API defined by
the W3C
User needs to allow usage
of camera and
microphone.
Defines the session in a
SDP document
The applications needs to
provide the SDP exchange
between peers

12. The WebRTC protocols
Defined by the IETF
No signalling protocol
specified
Use SRTP for media
Use ICE (TURN, STUN) for
network discovery

13. WebRTC media
Can be bundled and
mixed to one single
RTP port
Always use secure
RTP with DTLS key
exchange
Use ICE to find the
best media path
Use TURN to traverse
NAT and firewalls.

14. P2P call setup

SDP SDP
The web application defines the signaling

15. P2P call setup
