Cisco's offer, while certainly useful in some (or even many) application contexts, cannot cover all relevant deployment scenarios. This not only concerns WebRTC implementation providers, but also users (for instance, what licensing status do machines have that are recovered from disk images that happen to include the binary blob implementing H.264?). > So really, the choice is more between "support codec extensibility and > allow 'the other codec camp' to take risks they are comfortable with" > and "implement an inferior codec no one wants". Without a fallback codec there will be negotiation failure in ways that are out of control of the affected users. I think this is undesirable for all involved parties. Implementing support for an "IPR-safe", unsophisticated, well-understood, albeit sadly low-performing codec to me sounds like a manageable requirement for implementers to guarantee a minimal level of video interoperability. It's for sure an inconvenience, but so is firewall traversal. Maik
