The goal of this working group is to develop a single high-quality audio
codec that is optimized for use over the Internet and that can be widely
implemented and easily distributed among application developers, service
operators, and end users. Core technical considerations include, but
are not necessarily limited to, the following:
1. Designing for use in interactive applications (examples include, but
are not limited to, point-to-point voice calls, multi-party voice
conferencing, telepresence, teleoperation, in-game voice chat, and live
music performance)
2. Addressing the real transport conditions of the Internet as
identified and prioritized by the working group
3. Ensuring interoperability with the Real-time Transport Protocol
(RTP), including secure transport via SRTP
4. Ensuring interoperability with Internet signaling technologies such
as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Session Description Protocol
(SDP), and Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP); however,
the result should not depend on the details of any particular signaling
technology
