ORTC (Object Real-time Communications) Community Group
The mission of the Object Real-Time Communications Community Group, is to define Object-centric APIs (client-side at first) to enable Real-Time Communications in Web browsers, Mobile endpoints and Servers.
Note: Community Groups are proposed and run by the community. Although W3C hosts these
conversations, the groups do not necessarily represent the views of the W3C Membership or staff.
On October 14 we had our 6th CG meeting, in that meeting we called for implementations. We would like to hear from those that intend to or already are implementing based on this spec :
Discuss SVC “automatic” configuration scenario vs manual configuration
Call for implementations.
Existing reference implementations:
– ORTC Library: http://www.slideshare.net/ErikLagerway/ortc-lib-introduction
– Call for help, there is plenty to do, some examples:
– Browsers: JS Shim work
– Servers: Node.js work eg. SIP to ORTC Gateway
Google progress; Canary 39 Sender/Receiver – JS bindings? When will we see the rest of the ORTC API?
Microsoft progress; Progress of Modern API? Under Consideration to Under Development?
Discuss options to migrate this work into the W3C WebRTC WG
Where:Google Hangouts on Air (Participatory Hangouts link to follow day of meeting) Please contact Bernard Aboba if you wish to co-locate in a physical room at IETF 90 in Toronto.
Agenda
– Review Spec (latest can be found here: http://ortc.org/, top right side)
Since there is quite a bit of overlap between members in the IETF RTCWEB WG and the ORTC CG we thought it would serve us well if we had the next CG meeting on the Sunday July 20, prior to the IETF 90 meeting in Toronto.
Looking at the IETF agenda (https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/90/agenda.html) Sunday mid-morning looks to be relatively open. With that in mind I would like to propose we have the next CG meeting on Sunday July 20 at 11:00 am.
We would need some help with room sponsorship at the hotel for the CG meeting room. We will also provide remote attendance as well for those who are not able to make it in person.
I would like to get this nailed down this week so we can announce the meeting as far in advance as possible. If you plan on coming or If you are interested in helping with room sponsorship please let me know via email directly asap: erik@hookflash.com
We are nearing completion of the ORTC specification for our initial ORTC community group draft. We are asking for last call feedback at this time. Some comments to explain some of the changes are still pending but all issues are tracked here and on github. If you would like to make comment, please have a read through and make comment either on this list or as part of our next CG meeting coming up.
There are a few outstanding areas which are “pending” synchronization with WebRTC, e.g. stats, data channel, and IdP. As these have dependencies on WebRTC 1.0, we will attempt to complete the our specification as best we can but those areas will be subject to synchronization should updates come out of the WebRTC community group.
Now is the time to have a read through for final review as the next stage will be to build implementations for implementation feedback.
– Discussion of changes in the new Editor’s draft
– Summary of open issues (and triage of 1.1/1.2).
– Action items from last time
Proposals
– IPv6 (api or impl) and metering
– RTCP mux and freezing discussion (IceTransports have an optional Session parameter)
Big topics
– Use cases: agree on 3 main use cases beyond base set
Lossy network/SVC/FEC
Multipoint conference/simulcast/layered
Security cameras – non call scenario(s)
– Difficulties in exchanging params
Filter params
JSL vs new APIs
