WebRTC Integrator's Guide

Book description

Successfully build your very own scalable WebRTC infrastructure quickly and efficiently

In Detail

WebRTC enables real-time communication across the Web and with the whole telecom world behind a single button on a web page. WebRTC promises to bring new reforms and innovation for IP telephony. WebRTC comes with numerous integration features, such as new standards for VoIP services, call control applications, profile and phonebook management, and much more.

This book covers all aspects of building a standalone WebRTC communication platform, making a WebRTC SIP-based Communicator, and shows you how to overcome challenges. It also describes the integration of Rich Services such as voicemail, conference calls, and file transfers, as well as call control mechanisms such as screening and routing. The book then takes you through building a WebRTC project and its integration in the access, network, and service layers of IMS. The book ends with the creation of a commercial-quality web application capable of setting and receiving calls, messages, and conference calls, and other numerous services.

What You Will Learn

  • Understand the purpose of Media APIs in the WebRTC media stack
  • Discover more about WebRTC and next generation communication networks
  • Learn how to run simple WebRTC clients with the default peer-to-peer behavior
  • Run WebRTC calls over a WebSocket protocol using a WebSocket signaling server
  • Integrate WebRTC with old networks
  • Learn best practices to build up a dynamic web project with support for WebRTC calls
