Abstract
WebRTC enables web applications to establish a direct communication channel between two browsers without relaying the data through a web server. It consists of an API [1] defined by the W3C and a set of underlying protocols defined by the IETF Rtcweb Working Group [2]. The possibility of establishing peer-to-peer channels between two browsers and the expected broad deployment opens the opportunity for new use cases that were not possible until now.
