WebRTC or Web Real Time Communication protocol is an open source protocol and technology that enables real time communication directly between web browsers and webRTC enabled applications Using WebRTC you can do video calling, audio calling and data transfer between devices. This capability is implemented using a set of JavaScript APIs that enable video, audio and data transmission between devices. These APIs include ICE, STUN, TURN, NAT and SDP We are going to learn more about these protocols below ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment) ICe is a protocol that is used to find the best path to reach devices that is…

There are different WebRTC architecture available today, these are SFU, MCU and P2P, selecting one depends on many factors these include Network Conditions Bandwidth availability If participants have good quality bandwidth then SFU and peer to peer calling will work for them If the participants do not have good quality bandwidth and there are a lot of participants than going with a MCU would be a good idead Latency Sensitivity If the situation requires low latency then going with an SFU and/ or peer to peer is a good idea If there is a tolerance for latency and latency is…

WebRTC and Websockets are both real time technologies, these technologies enable instantaneous exchange of data. Both the technologies are important for applications that require live interactions Common use-cases for these technologies include online gaming, live chats, live streaming and other low latency applications WebRTC (Web Real Time Communications) Webrtc allows peer to peer communication. With Webrtc you can share data and conduct video calling and live streaming. It is best for media streaming applications. WebSocket Websocket provides full duplex communication channels. It is best for chat applications, real time notifications and updates. Websockets also maintains persistent connections thus enabling instant…
