    We’ve talked many times about WHIP and WHEP on this blog post. Since before WHIP was even a thing on the IETF’s radar, we prototyped it with CoSMo, as it seemed like a great first step towards my dream (and Ph.D thesis topic) of having a pure WebRTC based broadcasting solution. We then covered it even more after it was adopted in the IETF WISH Working Group, until it was time to address how to distribute a WHIP ingested stream using WHEP, and all the updates it then went through. WHIP also was a great opportunity for us nerds to…

At the time, we explained how WHIP and WHEP both play a quite important role in the future of WebRTC-based broadcasting. WHIP (WebRTC-HTTP ingestion protocol) is a protocol that was conceived to facilitate the process of media ingestion via WebRTC, something that in “traditional” broadcasting is usually done by means of protocols like RTMP. WHEP (WebRTC-HTTP…

    If you’re confused about all these acronyms, you’re not alone! Those interested in WebRTC and broadcasting have probably heard about WHIP already: WHEP and WHAP maybe not as much And if you’re even more confused about why I chose a picture of Huey, Dewey and Louie as the featured image, that’s because in Italian they’re called “Qui, Quo e Qua”, which is the first thing that came to mind when I came up with the title. I know, it’s incredibly stupid, but please bear with me: I’ve just come back from my summer break! We’ve talked about WHIP, a new…
