For those of you who are overwhelmed with the official IETF document, WHIP (sometimes known as WISH) is an open standard that you can use right now for your WebRTC based ingestion. You can use it today with open source software such as GStreamer or OBS (fork) as a way to publish your content with WebRTC.

There are a few other WebRTC based solutions. There's a fork of OBS that allows streaming out using WebRTC. I think that only supports millicast.com, which I believe is not open source. There are a few other servers that handle WebRTC, but I don't know if any are WebRTC.
