### WebRTC
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: In progress
|
||||
|
||||
**What?** WebRTC is a transport protocol supported by all major browsers. Those
|
||||
browsers allow the establishment of connections to remote endpoints that don't
|
||||
have a TLS certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority. In addition
|
||||
WebRTC includes hole punching capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why?** In most p2p networks the majority of nodes do not have a signed TLS
|
||||
certificate. With WebRTC browsers will thus be able to connect to these
|
||||
previously unreachable nodes. In addition, being able to hole punch allows
|
||||
browsers to connect to nodes behind firewalls and NATs e.g. other browsers. Note
|
||||
that the former, namely connecting without trusted TLS certificate, can as well
|
||||
be achieved with the [WebTransport](#✈️-webtransport) protocol.
