Am I reading this correctly? Firefox uses Google’s WebRTC implementation?

  Note the Google implementation is full of code from Cisco. FWIW.

    That would be news to me. They aren't listed in the AUTHORS file: https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/source/browse/trunk/AUTHORS https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/source/browse/trunk/AUTHORS

    Don't confuse a WebRTC implementation with the Cisco supplied H.264 codec binary and MPEG LA coverage. You get H.264 support in Mozilla & Chrome via this mechanism.

  Thought of the same thing. Anyone know?

    There are a few different layers to the WebRTC stack. I believe they use the lower layer which does the video and audio processing. But they don't use the higher layers from which do ICE, SCTP, and SDP.

  Yes, it does. http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/media/webrtc/ http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/media/webrtc/

  They cooperate on the same stack (webrtc.org) which deals with audio/video processing. Networking, JavaScript bindings, etc (the part exposed to the outside world where standardization matters) are separate. This ironically means that interoperability isn't a given, took a while to achieve, and was worthy of a press release. The relevant code was originally from GIPS: http://www.gipscorp.com/ http://www.gipscorp.com/ which Google bought.
