WebRTC and SIP...Experimentation underway...

I am currently hosting a visiting researcher in my office and we are exploring the potential of WebRTC and SIP interoperability. WebRTC is still draftly, but a number of milestones have already been reached in terms of standardizing the transport protocol as JSEP (JavaScript Session Establishment Protocol), for instance. Google Chrome  (Canary) supports the WebRTC API - I have played around with the flags (PeerConnection) and have tried making SIp Calls between browsers...very nice.

Still unsure of how to get started on the server side, but this should become clearer....I have Mobicents Sip Servlet (on Tomcat 7) running...now starting with a simple chat-server that proxies chats between two browsers (as SIP clients - thanks to WebRTC!) - I will then move into audio/video calls in the same manner...via SIP-Servlet-With-WebRTC.
