   The following four labels are defined for use in ALPN:

   webrtc  The DTLS session is used to establish keys for a Secure Real-
      time Transport Protocol (SRTP) - known as DTLS-SRTP - as described
      in [RFC5764].  The DTLS record layer is used for WebRTC data
      channels [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-channel].

   c-webrtc  The DTLS session is used for confidential WebRTC

      communications, where peers agree to maintain the confidentiality
      of the communications, as described in Section 3.

   A more thorough definition of what WebRTC communications entail is
   included in [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-transports].

I see only two labels there.
