WebRTC Data Channel Establishment Protocol
RFC 8832, “WebRTC Data Channel Establishment Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2021 by R. Jesup, S. Loreto, M. Tüxen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The WebRTC framework specifies protocol support for direct interactive rich communication using audio, video, and data between two peers' web browsers. This document specifies a simple protocol for establishing symmetric data channels between the peers. It uses a two-way handshake and allows sending of user data without waiting for the handshake to complete.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
