WebRTC & SD-WAN Take a Similar Approach to Standards

Standards are made to make things work together but must also be tied to the business interests. Standards can’t force companies or users to accept them, they need to bring value.

Google Pushing For WebRTC Browser Interoperability in 2017

While there is adapter.js that quests to bridge browser compatibility issues, it focuses mainly on API mapping.

WebRTC Needs Browser Push Notification

WebRTC on mobile is more complicated in almost every area you look at, when it comes to push notification life is easier on mobile.
