> The only thing we need to do for rtcweb is make sure the RTP library built into the browser supports media in such a way that it can communicate with other RTP peers at a media plane, regardless of what signaling protocol those peers might be using, preferably without going through media gateways.  And obviously since SIP is a very common protocol and defined by the IETF we need to make sure it's possible to use SIP on the rtcweb server, but we can't *mandate* that it be used or supported, and if we did it wouldn't change anything.

+1

The only I expect is that a WebRTC web-browser can establish a RTP
session with a remote SIP or XMPP+Jingle endpoint (without requiring
media gateways !!). How the signaling (SIP or XMPP) is carried between
the real SIP/XMPP endpoint and the browser should be out of the scope
of rtcweb (IMHO). Having said that, we have already shown a working
solution for carrying SIP between web-browsers and real SIP entities
out there (SIP over WebSocket). The same can be done for any other
protocol (it's already specified also for XMPP).

Regards.
