Hi,

I’m getting the impression that rmcat is ignored in WebRTC, and I don’t think that’s a good development. The rtcweb overview draft ( draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview-19.txt ) has just been approved as a Proposed Standard, but it doesn’t mention RMCAT at all. Will people find our documents? Are we going to be ignored by design?

There’s also this interesting sentence towards the end of the SIGCOMM 2017 paper on QUIC:
"Third, we are working on using QUIC for WebRTC [4] and intend to explore avenues for better supporting real-time payloads.”

What do people think about these matters?

Cheers,
Michael
