Making sense of WebRTC statistics

Collecting WebRTC statistics is a no brainer. Collecting more statistics about network conditions is a known problem as well. But what about figuring out based on such statistics what the issue is? In this session, we’ll go over our own processes in unraveling statistics to assist troubleshooting WebRTC connectivity and quality issues.

NVIDIA

Using Video Forward Error Correction to improve game streaming quality

Game streaming is a demanding use-case that requires high-bitrate ultra-low-latency video without freezes. Forward error correction is a technique that allows NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW to deliver a smooth experience even when there is packet loss on the network. We will explain how this feature was implemented and measured.

Advances in audio codecs

When WebRTC launched in 2011, it came with a new audio codec called opus which remains a great choice today. We will review contenders like the machine-learning based Lyra and Satin codecs and reliability mechanisms like RED and FEC to see how they give even better quality.
