The WebSocket Protocol as a Transport for the Binary Floor Control Protocol
RFC 8857, “The WebSocket Protocol as a Transport for the Binary Floor Control Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2021 by V. Pascual, A. Román, S. Cazeaux, G. Salgueiro, R. Ravindranath. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The WebSocket protocol enables two-way real-time communication between clients and servers. This document specifies the use of Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) as a new WebSocket subprotocol enabling a reliable transport mechanism between BFCP entities in new scenarios.
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.
