RFC 8855: The Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP)
Proposed Standard- G. Camarillo
- K. Drage
- T. Kristensen
- J. Ott
- C. Eckel
- January 2021
- IETF publication
- Applications and Real-Time Area
Abstract
Floor control is a means to manage joint or exclusive access to shared resources in a (multiparty) conferencing environment. Thereby, floor control complements other functions -- such as conference and media session setup, conference policy manipulation, and media control -- that are realized by other protocols.
This document specifies the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP). BFCP is used between floor participants and floor control servers, and between floor chairs (i.e., moderators) and floor control servers.
This document obsoletes RFC 4582.

RFC 8857: The WebSocket Protocol as a Transport for the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP)
Proposed Standard- V. Pascual
- A. Román
- S. Cazeaux
- G. Salgueiro
- R. Ravindranath
- January 2021
- IETF publication
- Applications and Real-Time Area
Abstract
The WebSocket protocol enables two-way real-time communication between clients and servers. This document specifies the use of Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) as a new WebSocket subprotocol enabling a reliable transport mechanism between BFCP entities in new scenarios.

RFC 8124: The Session Description Protocol (SDP) WebSocket Connection URI Attribute
Proposed Standard- R. Ravindranath
- G. Salgueiro
- March 2017
- IETF publication
- Applications and Real-Time Area
Abstract
The WebSocket protocol enables bidirectional real-time communication between clients and servers in web-based applications. This document specifies extensions to Session Description Protocol (SDP) for application protocols using WebSocket as a transport.

RFC 5018: Connection Establishment in the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP)
Proposed Standard- G. Camarillo
- September 2007
- IETF publication
- Real-time Applications and Infrastructure Area
Abstract
This document specifies how a Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) client establishes a connection to a BFCP floor control server outside the context of an offer/answer exchange. Client and server authentication are based on Transport Layer Security (TLS). [STANDARDS-TRACK]

- X. Wu
- February 2006
- IETF publication
- Real-time Applications and Infrastructure Area
Abstract
Floor control is a means to manage joint or exclusive access to shared resources in a (multiparty) conferencing environment. Thereby, floor control complements other functions -- such as conference and media session setup, conference policy manipulation, and media control -- that are realized by other protocols. This document defines the requirements for a floor control protocol for multiparty conferences in the context of an existing framework. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
