Harald,

 

In Fig 2 (Browser RTC Trapezoid), I'm getting the feel that JS/HTML
communicates with webserver directly without the involvement of browser.
Please clarify whether it is intended not to use browser  for JS.

 

IMO, the browser RTC trapezoid shall be

I explained the same diagram in Fig 1 of
draft-partha-rtcweb-signaling-00. RTCWeb signaling shall be proprietary
HTTP/websocket. I'm asking this change because I'm seeing folks confuses
API vs. on-wire-protocol. Also, Please note that JS + browser is the
single system with two different modules and it shall have protocol or
API to communicate (without passing any information in the wire). Could
you please let me know in case I'm missing something.

 

Thanks

Partha
