Still another conference-call-specific take on p2p communications. Application assumptions are laced throughout the design. Which in my experience is the usual problem with open source IP - its tied up with so many assumptions as to be brittle.
ORTC is basically Microsoft's NIH version of WebRTC.

Maybe some of the good ideas will end up in an improved WebRTC standard, but ORTC itself is not "the new version".
