The WebRTC stuff was based on libjingle originally. We built that as part of the Windows Google Talk client. It was all based on XMPP and not SIP.

The techniques were used in many contexts at the time.

Yeah exactly. This signaling protocol doesn't really matter, and both SIP and XMPP to me are way over engineered and super inefficient- silly that they're text based at all. Essentially like HTTP 1.0 and 1.1 vs HTTP/2 - we just don't have the latter in the signaling case yet, or at least not standardized that I know of.
