Yeah, the "signalling" process is implemented by applications, and needs either a WebSocket or SSE stream.

So we could use a browser extension to listen in the background to a central phone server for incoming calls while we happily surf the web and then get the "ring" opening the url in a tab for the incoming call to take place?

Interesting...

Yeah, but why would you want to take calls in your browser? Why not a separate application (node-webkit, Firefox app) that runs as its own process a la Skype clone?
