The IESG has received a request from the Real-Time Communication in WEB-browsers WG (rtcweb) to consider the following document: - 'Overview: Real Time Protocols for Browser-based Applications' <draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview-18.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-03-20. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document gives an overview and context of a protocol suite intended for use with real-time applications that can be deployed in browsers - "real time communication on the Web". It intends to serve as a starting and coordination point to make sure all the parts that are needed to achieve this goal are findable, and that the parts that belong in the Internet protocol suite are fully specified and on the right publication track. This document is an Applicability Statement - it does not itself specify any protocol, but specifies which other specifications WebRTC compliant implementations are supposed to follow. This document is a work item of the RTCWEB working group. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references. See RFC 3967 for additional information: draft-ietf-rtcweb-jsep: Javascript Session Establishment Protocol (None - IETF stream) Note that some of these references may already be listed in the acceptable Downref Registry.
