<p>This document defines a set of ECMAScript APIs in WebIDL to allow media
to be sent to and received from another browser or device implementing the
appropriate set of real-time protocols. This specification is being
developed in conjunction with a protocol specification developed by the
IETF RTCWEB group and an API specification to get access to local media
devices developed by the Media Capture Task Force.</p>
</section>
<section id="sotd">
<p>The Editors and active contributors of WebRTC 1.0 intend to publish a
Candidate Recommendation soon. Consequently, this is a Request for Comments
by the WebRTC Working Group to seek wide review of this document.</p>
<p>The API is based on preliminary work done in the WHATWG.</p>
</section>
<section class="informative" id="intro">
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>There are a number of facets to video-conferencing in HTML covered by
this specification:</p>
<ul>
<li>Connecting to remote peers using NAT-traversal technologies such as
ICE, STUN, and TURN.</li>
<li>Sending the locally-produced tracks to remote peers and receiving
tracks from remote peers.</li>
<li>Sending arbitrary data directly to remote peers.</li>
</ul>
<p>This document defines the APIs used for these features. This
specification is being developed in conjunction with a protocol
specification developed by the <a href=
"https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/rtcweb/">IETF RTCWEB group</a> and an API
specification to get access to local media devices [[!GETUSERMEDIA]]
developed by the <a href="https://www.w3.org/wiki/Media_Capture">Media
Capture Task Force</a>. An overview of the system can be found in
[[RTCWEB-OVERVIEW]] and [[RTCWEB-SECURITY]].</p>
</section>
<section id="conformance">
<p>This specification defines conformance criteria that apply to a single
product: the <dfn>user agent</dfn> that implements the interfaces that it
contains.</p>
<p>Conformance requirements phrased as algorithms or specific steps may be
implemented in any manner, so long as the end result is equivalent. (In
particular, the algorithms defined in this specification are intended to be
easy to follow, and not intended to be performant.)</p>
<p>Implementations that use ECMAScript to implement the APIs defined in
this specification MUST implement them in a manner consistent with the
ECMAScript Bindings defined in the Web IDL specification [[!WEBIDL-1]], as
this specification uses that specification and terminology.</p>

<h2>Terminology</h2>
<p>The <code><a href=

<h2>Peer-to-peer connections</h2>
<section>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>An <code><a>RTCPeerConnection</a></code> instance allows to establish
peer to peer communications. Communications are coordinated via a
signaling channel which is provided by unspecified means, but generally
by a script in the page via the server, e.g. using
<code>XMLHttpRequest</code> [[XMLHttpRequest]] or Web Sockets
[[WEBSOCKETS-API]].</p>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<section>
<h4>RTCConfiguration Dictionary</h4>
<p>The <dfn><code>RTCConfiguration</code></dfn> defines a set of parameters to
configure how the peer to peer communication established via
<code><a>RTCPeerConnection</a></code> is established or
re-established.</p>
<div>
<pre class="idl">dictionary RTCConfiguration {

<p>Although any given DTLS connection will use only one
certificate, this attribute allows the caller to provide
multiple certificates that support different algorithms. The
final certificate will be selected based on the DTLS handshake,
which establishes which certificates are allowed. The
<code>RTCPeerConnection</code> implementation selects which of
the certificates is used for a given connection; how
certificates are selected is outside the scope of this
specification.</p>
<p>If this value is absent, then a default set of certificates
is generated for each <a><code>RTCPeerConnection</code></a>
instance.</p>
<p>This option allows applications to establish key continuity.
An <code>RTCCertificate</code> can be persisted in
[[INDEXEDDB]] and reused. Persistence and reuse also avoids the
cost of key generation.</p>
<p>The value for this configuration option cannot change after
its value is initially selected.</p>

<h3>RTCPeerConnection Interface</h3>
<p>The [[!JSEP]] specification, as a whole, describes the details of how
the <code><a>RTCPeerConnection</a></code> operates. References to
specific subsections of [[!JSEP]] are provided as appropriate.</p>
<section>
<h4>Operation</h4>
<p>Calling <code>new <a>RTCPeerConnection</a>(<var>configuration</var>
)</code> creates an <code><a>RTCPeerConnection</a></code> object.</p>
<p>The <var>configuration</var> has the information to find and access
the servers used by ICE. There may be multiple servers of each type and
any TURN server also acts as a STUN server.</p>
<p>An <code><a>RTCPeerConnection</a></code> object has a <dfn>signaling
state</dfn>, a <dfn>connection state</dfn>, an <dfn>ICE gathering
state</dfn>, and an <dfn>ICE connection state</dfn>. These are
initialized when the object is created.</p>
<p data-link-for="RTCPeerConnection">The ICE protocol implementation of
an <code><a>RTCPeerConnection</a></code> is represented by an <dfn>ICE
agent</dfn> [[!ICE]]. Certain <code><a>RTCPeerConnection</a></code>
methods involve interactions with the <a>ICE Agent</a>, namely
<code><a>addIceCandidate</a></code>, <code><a>setConfiguration</a></code>,
<code><a>setLocalDescription</a></code>,
<code><a>setRemoteDescription</a></code> and <code><a>close</a></code>.
These interactions are described in the relevant sections in this
document and in [[!JSEP]]. The <a>ICE Agent</a> also provides
indications to the User Agent when the state of its internal
representation of an <code><a>RTCIceTransport</a></code> changes, as
described in <a href= "#rtcicetransport"></a>.</p>
<p>When the <dfn id=
"dom-peerconnection"><code>RTCPeerConnection()</code></dfn> constructor
is invoked, the user agent MUST run the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Let <var>connection</var> be a newly created
<code><a>RTCPeerConnection</a></code> object.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Initialize <var>connection</var>'s <a>ICE Agent</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a>Set the configuration</a> specified by the constructor's
first argument.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Let <var>connection</var> have an [[<dfn>isClosed</dfn>]]
internal slot, initialized to <code>false</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Let <var>connection</var> have a [[<dfn>needNegotiation</dfn>]]
internal slot, initialized to <code>false</code>.</p></li>
<li>
<p>Let <var>connection</var> have an [[<dfn>sctpTransport</dfn>]]
internal slot, initialized to <code>null</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Let <var>connection</var> have an [[<dfn>operations</dfn>]]
internal slot, representing an <a>operations queue</a>, initialized
to an empty list.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Set <var>connection</var>'s <a>signaling state</a> to
<code>stable</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Set <var>connection</var>'s <a>ICE connection state</a> to

null.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the <code>certificates</code> value in the
<code>RTCConfiguration</code> structure is non-empty, check that
the <code>expires</code> on each value is in the future. If a
certificate has expired, throw an <code>InvalidAccessError</code>
exception and abort these steps; otherwise, store the certificates.
If no <code>certificates</code> value was specified, one or more
new <code>RTCCertificate</code> instances are generated for use
with this <code>RTCPeerConnection</code> instance.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Store the configuration, including the certificates, in a
[[<dfn>configuration</dfn>]] internal slot.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Return <var>connection</var>.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>An <code><a>RTCPeerConnection</a></code> object has an
<dfn>operations queue</dfn>, [[<a>operations</a>]], which ensures that
only one asynchronous operation in the queue is executed concurrently.
If subsequent calls are made while the returned promise of a previous
call is still not settled, they are added to the queue and executed
when all the previous calls have finished executing and their promises
have settled.</p>
<p>To <dfn id="enqueue-an-operation">enqueue an operation</dfn>, run

<p>If the <code><a data-for=

</li>
<li>
<p>If an <code><a>RTCRtpTransceiver</a></code> was
created by applying the
<code><a>RTCSessionDescription</a></code> that is
being rolled back, and a track has not been attached to
it via <code>addTrack</code>, remove that

<li>
<p>If <var>connection</var>'s <a>signaling state</a> is now

<h3>Interface Definition</h3>
<p>The <code><a>RTCPeerConnection</a></code> interface presented in
this section is extended by several partial interfaces throughout this
specification. Notably, the <a>RTP Media API</a> section, which adds
the APIs to send and receive <code><a>MediaStreamTrack</a></code>
objects.</p>
