Abstract
In order to provide compatibility between WebRTC communication endpoints and legacy communication endpoints that use BFCP, a web media gateways is used to establish a conference call between the communication endpoints that use WebRTC and the legacy communication endpoints that use BFCP. A floor command is received to control the floor of the conference call from a first communication endpoint. The floor command is translated from WebRTC into BFCP or from BFCP to WebRTC. The floor command is sent to the second communication endpoint. This allows a conference call where communication endpoints support both WebRTC and BFCP.
