Hi Bossiel,

Current WebRTC is based on SDP mainly for "SIP interoperability", so
obviously it is "easy" to build like-SIP-based applications. Anyhow in
most of the apps you mean I'm pretty sure that there are just a few
SDP exchanges, probably just the initial SDP offer/answer and some
other for "hold" / "unhold" purposes (which requires SDP mangling).

Now let's assume that WebRTC is much more than
SIP-business-into-the-web, let's assume that WebRTC is RTC for the Web
rather than Web for RTC.



> For the current WebRTC, Google open sourced their engine, produced drafts, a working implementation in chrome, a mailing-list to help developers, demo applications, documentation... we just want to see the same from any company asking to rewrite everything.

A company? AFAIK this is a IETF WG, not a company. I am not speaking
on behalf of any company or business.


Is there anyone not involved in SIP/PSTN business which feels
comfortable with the SDP-based specs of WebRTC?


Best regards.
