IMPORTANT NOTE: The third edition of this book is now available ISBN-13: 978-0-9859788-6-0 Up to date with the latest changes in the APIs and protocols, the third edition includes a new chapter on data channels with running demo code. A new step-by-step approach introduces developers to WebRTC starting with getting access to media, establishing a signaling connection, then creating the peer connection. WebRTC, Web Real-Time Communications, is revolutionizing the way web users communicate, both in the consumer and enterprise worlds. WebRTC adds standard APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and built-in real-time audio and video capabilities and codecs to browsers without a plug-in. With just a few lines of JavaScript, web developers can add high quality peer-to-peer voice, video, and data channel communications to their collaboration, conferencing, telephony, or even gaming site or application. Written by experts involved in the standardization effort, this book introduces and explains the W3C APIs and the IETF protocols of WebRTC. Packed with figures, example code, and summary tables, this book makes complicated concepts and technologies such as peer-to-peer media and NAT and firewall traversal easy to understand. The 2nd edition has all new chapters on Signaling and Security & Privacy, as well as running demo code (client and server-side) and further details on NAT traversal with ICE, STUN, and TURN protocols. In addition the book contains the latest updates on the W3C and IETF standards documents.

WebRTC, Web Real-Time Communications, is revolutionizing the way web users communicate, both in the consumer and enterprise worlds. WebRTC adds standard APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and built-in real-time audio and video capabilities and codecs to browsers without a plug-in. With just a few lines of JavaScript, web developers can add high quality peer-to-peer voice, video, and data channel communications to their collaboration, conferencing, telephony, or even gaming site or application. New for the Third Edition The third edition has an enhanced demo application which now shows the use of the data channel for real-time text sent directly between browsers. Also, a full description of the browser media negotiation process including actual SDP session descriptions from Firefox and Chrome. Hints on how to use Wireshark to monitor WebRTC protocols, and example captures are also included. TURN server support for NAT and firewall traversal is also new. This edition also features a step-by-step introduction to WebRTC, with concepts such as local media, signaling, and the Peer Connection introduced through separate runnable demos. Written by experts involved in the standardization effort, this book contains the most up to date discussion of WebRTC standards in W3C and IETF. Packed with figures, example code, and summary tables, this book is the ultimate WebRTC reference.

Other key discussions include SIP as a key component in the Internet multimedia conferencing architecture, request and response messages, devices in a typical network, types of servers, SIP headers, comparisons with existing signaling protocols including H.323, related protocols SDP (Session Description Protocol) and RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol), and the future direction of SIP.

SIP: Understanding the Session Initiation Protocol, Fourth Edition

Henry Sinnreich

From leading WorldCom engineers--expert guidance on how to plan for SIP implementation Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has gained tremendous market acceptance since it became an official IETF Internet communications standard in 1999. SIP is the technology that makes it possible for multimedia communications sessions on the Web--ones that allow voice, video, chat, interactive games, and others to run all at the same time. Now that the deployment of real SIP networks is about to take off, two leaders of the commercial rollout deliver complete guidance on this exciting new technology. Geared to IT and networking professionals and decision-makers at Internet service providers (ISPs), as well as networking (NSPs) and application (ASPs) service providers, this book helps readers sort through the available vendor offerings and services to discover how to integrate and maximize SIP's power across their networks.

Delivering VoIP and Multimedia Services with Session Initiation Protocol (Networking Council Series)

Internet Communications Using SIP

This newly revised edition of the ground-breaking Artech House bestseller, SIP: Understanding the Session Initiation Protocol gives you a thorough and up-to-date understanding of this revolutionary protocol for call signaling and IP Telephony. The second edition includes brand new discussions on the use of SIP for wireless multimedia communications. It explains how SIP is powerful "rendezvous" protocol that leverages mobility and presence to allow users to communicate using different devices, modes, and services anywhere they are connected to the Internet You learn why SIP has been chosen by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Program for wireless cell phones) as the core signaling, presence, and instant messaging protocol.

Understanding the Session Initiation Protocol

"This book is like a good tour guide.It doesn't just describe themajor attractions; you share in the history, spirit, language, andculture of the place." --Henning Schulzrinne, Professor, Columbia University Since its birth in 1996, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) hasgrown up. As a richer, much more robust technology, SIP today isfully capable of supporting the communication systems that powerour twenty-first century work and life. This second edition handbook has been revamped to cover the neweststandards, services, and products. You'll find the latest on SIPusage beyond VoIP, including Presence, instant messaging (IM),mobility, and emergency services, as well as peer-to-peer SIPapplications, quality-of-service, and security issues--everythingyou need to build and deploy today's SIP services. This book will help you * Work with SIP in Presence and event-based communications * Handle SIP-based application-level mobility issues * Develop applications to facilitate communications access forusers with disabilities * Set up Internet-based emergency services * Explore how peer-to-peer SIP systems may change VoIP * Understand the critical importance of Internet transparency * Identify relevant standards and specifications * Handle potential quality-of-service and security problems
