Dear all, My name is Dizhi Zhou, a Ph.D. candidate from Canada. My research area is the multipath transmission for wireless cooperative network. I'm very interested in the WebRTC project so that I wirte this letter to explain my ideas and hope to get comments from the community. /**Ideas and discussions**/ Based on the Debian GSoC project webpage, I'm very interested on the idea of looking at the role of next-generation solutions for WebRTC. Daniel provides an option of merging WebRTC and mobile VoIP[1]. I have several questions about this idea: 1) Based on the WebRTC structure[2] and the concept of VoIP[3], I think the interaction between those two concepts is the RTP used in the transport module of WebRTC. Then, can this idea be expressed as designing an enhanced RTP within WebRTC for mobile network? 2)If the answer of question 1 is yes, what is the relationship between this idea and reSIProcate project, which aims to implement a complete SIP stack? In addition, I have another idea for the next-generation solutions of WebRTC: Becasue my research area is about the multipath upper layer transmissions (e.g., multipath TCP, or multipath RTP) over wireless network, I want to enhance the WebRTC performance by extending current single path RTP support to multipath RTP support. This needs to modify the RTP model in WebRTC. /**Motivations**/ Two reasons for me to choose this project: 1) This project is very close to my research plan in this year. As I explained in last section, I have an idea to merge my proposed multipath transmission solutions (Multipath TCP and Multipath RTP) to the open source web browser/web-based application so as to test its performance in real network. Even I do not do this in GSoC, the experience from GSoC can also greatly help me to familiar with this platform. 2) I'm very familiar with C++ which is also used in WebRTC core functions. I participated the GSoC project in 2012 for Network Simulator-3 project to develop multiple packet schedulers for LTE simulator. It mainly uses C++. The code I developed was already merged to the latest release. The project wiki page is https://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/GSOC2012LTEScheduling.
