We're going to be discussing WebRTC & PPSP together at the IETF meetup next week in London. I see WebRTC as a browser technology atm, so effectively a potential PPSP client and seeder. PPSP's aimed squarely at one-to-many sharing, so maybe there's some cross-over for video conferencing, but I'm not too familiar with it to say for the moment.

BTW googling IETF acronyms isn't easy -- try UDP, TCP, HTTP... ;-).

The protocol's described here http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ppsp-peer-protocol and there's a corresponding tracker protocol that's not finalised either.

These are drafts and in theory can change at any point in time.

Which working group will the webrtc tie in be discussed?
the PPSP one, if you're going to be around at IETF let's discuss there.

Can anyone who is interested go along and sit in on those sessions? I live in London and that sounds interesting.
physical attendance at the conference costs; it's minimal for a day session for a student, but its possible to listen in remotely.
