with their own Internet-connected mobile devices and consumers increasingly prefer Internet-based communications channels to access contact centers. To address these challenges, CSPs and enterprises are beginning to deploy innovative new applications based on a protocol known as WebRTC. WebRTC is an emerging Internet standard that equips any device with a supported web browser with real-time communications (RTC) capabilities – such as voice calling, video or screen sharing – via simple application programming interfaces (APIs) without requiring users to download plug-ins. WebRTC allows users to seamlessly communicate in high definition video and/or voice with shared screen capabilities. While WebRTC promises a heightened communications experience and creates new opportunities for both CSPs and enterprises, there are several network challenges to overcome. Oracle addresses these challenges with a purpose-built WebRTC media/signaling engine and a client-side Software Development Kit (SDK) solution. The Oracle Communications WebRTC Session Controller bridges the web to the SIP/IMS network with secure client-network management, highly reliable fault resilient web to SIP session processing, and full WebRTC device to SIP network interoperability. Challenges While the WebRTC protocol is designed to enable simple peer-to-peer web communications, for WebRTC to become a widely used communications technology, sophisticated server-side applications must be developed to address:
Application control and synchronization during network changes and browser page reloads
Rapid application integration with existing systems
Identity management between multiple devices and across web and telephony domains
Border and application security to prevent attacks and service abuse
High capacity media handling for NAT traversal, encryption, and transcoding
Robust and dynamic interworking with existing infrastructure
Solution Overview Oracle has created the Oracle Communications WebRTC Session Controller to address these challenges and provide a foundation for innovation. The Oracle Communications WebRTC Session Controller is a highly available, carrier grade solution designed to enable rapid development and deployment of powerful and differentiating WebRTC applications. Oracle Communications WebRTC Session Controller is based on proven technologies from the Oracle Communications service delivery platform product family. It brings carrier grade network capabilities into the web domain enabling CSPs and enterprises to create a new form of high quality communications for their users.

Reliability The Oracle Communications WebRTC Session Controller has been developed to address reliability from both a network as well as user perspective. For users, it features rehydration which automatically reestablishes dropped WebRTC sessions regardless of cause - a dropped network signal, browser reset, network handover or user initiated device swap. From a network perspective, it features a distributed, highly available signaling and media architecture delivering carrier-grade scalability with media anchoring for NAT traversal and SRTP termination. Interoperability The WebRTC Session Controller includes features designed to ensure interoperability for web-to-web and web-to-network communications :
Client SDK speeds development with an extensible JavaScript based environment providing automatic browser mediation, client authentication, session management, and connection control.
The Signaling and Media engines bridge WebRTC to existing networks with WebRTC to SIP/IMS signaling and WebRTC media to existing VoIP system media.
The Media Engine also provides scalable network-based media anchoring for NAT traversal, deencryption and re-encryption to accommodate different standards, codec transcoding and multi-vendor interoperability to normalize implementation differences.
Security Security is addressed at both the user and network level. To ease the overload in a world filled with too many passwords, the solution supports a range of options for user authentication. These options include web-based user authentication implementing the Oauth standard as well as traditional Telco/enterprise authentication mechanisms. At the network level, the solution prevents overload of the edge and backend infrastructure and denial of service attacks while prioritizing traffic to maintain normal service to valid users. It efficiently handles encryption keys and network authentication. 2
