Introduction
On this page you will find the results from an investigation into WebRTC conducted by the Service Activity 8 (SA8), Task 2 team of the GN4-1 project. Both the end report (WebRTC roadmap) and the internal deliverables (reports, proof of concepts, code) leading up to the end report are available here. The task ran from 1 May 2015 until 30 April 2016.
