Show HN: Learn how WebRTC actually works. A book on the protocols, not just APIs
I've never used or looked into WebRTC but seen it floated around and I think I heard Sean on a gotime podcast once? Not sure, but overall I have some offshoot interest as I generally like network protocols. The following is just some minor feedback after starting to go through this.<p>I started reading and got down to "Connecting" section in the "What, Why, and How" and realized I had no idea what it was used for still. I reread the "What is WebRTC" section, and yep:<p>> 'The WebRTC protocol is a set of rules for two WebRTC agents to negotiate bi-directional secure real-time communication.'<p>Totally missed that the first time through.<p>So, maybe it's just me or maybe I'm just tired, but I feel like it could be called out more what it is and what it is/can be used for. Like the first line in the "Media Communication" section:<p>> 'WebRTC allows you to send and receive an unlimited amount of audio and video streams.'<p>That was helpful. And then the "Applied WebRTC" page seems helpful as well. Maybe point these out early on in the document somewhere?<p>Hope this helps. I've bookmarked and looking forward to reading this more (when I'm not so tired).
