M2M Applications of WebRTC

M2M and WebRTC

• People mostly think about media in relation to WebRTC

• WebRTC media capabilities could be useful– For example, secure video streaming from a security

camera

– or, one-way video and two-way audio from a door phone

• The part of WebRTC that will be most useful in M2M is the DataChannel

WebRTC APIs (there are just three)

• GetUserMedia

• PeerConnection

• DataChannel

The DataChannel

The Peer-to-peer Data API lets a web application send and receive generic application data peer-to-peer. The API for sending and receiving data models the behavior of WebSockets [WEBSOCKETS-API].

What is the DataChannel

• Two way communication between end-points

• Framed messages

• In-order delivery

• Tunneled over DTLS-SRTP

– End-to-end encryption

How can it be used?

• Sending control signals to or between devices

• Streaming data from or between devices

• But the encoding of the data will be device and vendor specific

Establishing a DataChannel

• Signalling is still required

• Telephony-style signalling is not required– You don’t need call hold or transfer– You don’t need to connect to the PSTN or your companies PBX

• Proprietary schemes will be common– Why would one light bulb vendor want you to be able to user another’s

controller?

• Some of the new, lighter-weight, WebRTC schemes might be useful too– For example, Matrix
