[Freedombox-discuss] VOIP application layer

[Marc Manthey]

morning all,

i have checked "webrtc" a bit closer, its a  great, complex and  well  
documented project.

https://sites.google.com/site/webrtc/reference/webrtc-components

The interesting part is the VP8 de/encoder whitch is developed from  
On2 and aquired from google
in 2010. it seems to be a very close competitor of H264 , whitch isnt  
licence free and i believe youtube
will turn into VP8 in the future, so they dont have to pay H264  
royalitys or licences.

What webrtc not does, is taking away the complexitiy of sip/stun and  
all this NAT hole punching.

Right now we are in a state of transition from ipv4 to ipv6. So do we  
really need NAT punching in the future
when we all have ipv6 ? IMHO NAT is not mandatory in ipv6 , so when  
nothing is going wrong we have
end-to-end connenctivity in the near future. So why we need all this  
NAT /SIP/STUN / punching stuff ?

have a nice day


Marc
