COMMUNICATIONS are MOVING COMPLETELY from TELEPHONY to the INTERNET

TRADITIONAL TELECOM WILL SIMPLY BE LEFT BEHIND

JAVASCRIPT & HTML5 DEVELOPERS DO IN MINUTES WHAT TAKES TELECOM WEEKS, MONTHS & YEARS

“Voice is just another JavaScript Application”

Henning SchulzrinneChief Technology Officer (CTO) U.S. Federal Communications Commission

Co-Designer of SIP, RTP & RTSP2013 Internet Hall of Fame Inductee

“WebRTC is a new front in the long war

for an open and unencumbered web”

Brendan EichInventor of JavaScript & Mozilla CEO

MARCH 24, 2014

So with all this talk of voice being a JavaScript app & supporting the Open Web . . .

when Hookflash Chief Architect Robin Raymond noticed a telecom protocol from 1998 called “SDP” proposed for the

WebRTC 1.0 Spec . . .

he was somewhat taken aback

“For the love of all that is human, why is SDP part of WebRTC efforts at all?”

Robin Raymond

Author of Open Peer | Chief Architect at Hookflash | Chair ORTC CG

Robin published his concerns in a

blog post at WebRTC.is

other software developers spoke up

“SDP is not appropriate for use in a Web API”

W3C ORTC Community Group

Mission: “to define Object-Centric API’s to enable Real-Time Communications in Web browsers, Mobile endpoints and Servers.

A Community group was formed . . .

ORTC -“Object Real-Time Communications”

SDP - “Session Description Protocol”

a set of rules that defines how real-time communications sessions can be setup to allow all endpoints to effectively participate in the session.

- essentially prescribes how offer/answer is handled in WebRTC

Unnecessary - Too High level an API

SDP Concerns:

Arcane Format - legacy, problematic

specifies offer/answer

incompatibilities

doesn’t truly solve goal of compatibility to legacy systems

Proposed WebRTC Protocol does not define stack signaling protocol and limit

developers to SIP or XMPP/Jingle.

Why define & limit media signaling to SDP?

Solution:

Give Developers the Power with an Object enabled API

ORTC -“Object Real-Time Communications”

Simple Examples of what ORTC will enable Developers to do:

❏ Layered Video Coding

❏ Codec Settings per TrackKeep in mind that WebRTC will be about a lot more than video calling

HOOKFLASH OPEN PEER: IETF 80 - Prague - April 2011

Original New Peer-to-Peer signalling Protocol with these main objectives: ➔ Open ➔ Peer communications, Social, Legacy & Private Directories➔ Identity Federation➔ Strong Security/Privacy➔ Scalability➔ WebRTC/ORTC enabling Protocol

◆ WebRTC/ORTC embeds a real-time communication stack into browsers BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE SIGNALLING. Open Peer is original design, purpose built new signalling protocol enabling developers to communicate and federate across domain infrastructure (eliminates silos where desired)

Hookflash: “SOFTWARE ENABLED COMMUNICATIONS”OPEN PEER SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KITS (SDK’S) FOR MAJOR MOBILE AND WEB PLATFORMS

● Real-time Communications can be integrated into anything

WebRTC/ORTC

Hookflash API* enables Open Peer SDK’s

API delivers complex, scalable services for Developers, Partners and Customers

● IDENTITY (Social, 3rd Party)● SECURITY (Auth, Signaling, Media)● ANALYTICS

○ (Reg, A/V Calls, Messaging, Geo)

● CONTINUOUS DEPLOYMENT● NAT TRAVERSAL (Relay)

MEDIA FLOW & SIGNALING all Peer-to-Peer (P2P) using Hookflash “Open Peer” - PRIVATE, HIGH QUALITY, LOW COST

* API “Application Programming Interface”
