WebRTC allows you to set up peer-to-peer connections to other web browsers quickly and easily. To build such an application from scratch, you would need a wealth of frameworks and libraries dealing with typical issues like data loss, connection dropping, and NAT traversal. With WebRTC, all of this comes built-in into the browser out-of-the-box. It is open-sourced and its source code is freely available at http://www.webrtc.org/.

The WebRTC API includes media capture, encoding and decoding audio and video, transportation layer, and session management.
