Ietf 84 - Rtcweb: Mandatory To Implement Audio Codec Selection

The document discusses selecting a mandatory to implement (MTI) audio codec for WebRTC. It analyzes several codec options based on quality, versatility, licensing, standardization, implementations, and deployment. It proposes Opus as the sole MTI codec as it handles all use cases as good or better than state-of-the-art, is freely implementable, addresses basic legacy interoperability at zero added cost to implement, and is sufficient to avoid negotiation failure between WebRTC endpoints while not eliminating failure with non-WebRTC endpoints. G.711 is also proposed as a secondary MTI for legacy support.
