2. WebRTC and the Enterprise
• The enterprise is excited about WebRTC
– Video as a first class citizen on their networks
– Enabling internet calling for home and mobile workers
– Bringing calls “on-net” to save costs
– Reducing IT costs with low maintenance thin clients
– Love for “super thin clients”
• The enterprise is confused about WebRTC
– How does it integrate?
– How much has to change?
– Will it work with my video devices?
• Desk video-phones?
• Mobile clients?
• Tele-presence rooms
– Does it fit into my DMZ?
– Will it work with my SBC?

4. What is WebRTC?
(and why is it a problem to the enterprise)
• Open Standards!
• Clientless, plugin-less browser audio
and video real time communication!
• Open-source codec, VP8!
• ICE/STUN NAT traversal!
• SRTP!
• No rules on signaling protocol!
• Multiplex RTP and RTCP over a single
port!
• Multiplex Audio and Video over a single
port!

6. What is an Enterprise Network?
• Mostly hardware endpoints with hard to
upgrade software.
• Few soft clients generally tied to a PBX
• Limited codec support, H26* for video
only (ok, maybe a bit of RTV)
• ICE, STUN, what‟s that?
• SRTP? That‟s a firewall issue right?
• RTCP shalt be on the RTP port +1 !!!
• Audio shalt be separate to Video !!!

9. Solutions
• Signaling Gateway
– SIP stack in java-script make it a thick client again!
– Convert from something light (ROAP?) to SIP at a
gateway
• De-ice
– Validate SDP ICE candidates
– Pass on the primary candidate as SIP identity
• De-Multiplex
– Take the multiplex stream and split it
– Take the separate streams and recombine
• STUN binding handling
– Respond to STUN bindings on the RTP channels
– Validate bindings
• Transcoding
– Transcode between VP8 to H264
