http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC does not mention SIP at all. I
assume SIP is just one way to use webrtc but it does not need to be
used?

Aha, it seems the resiprocate-turn-server package is new in
wheezy. Default configuration seems to listen on tcp port 3478. I guess
port 443 should be used to maximize the probability that proxies will
let websocket access it?
