Multicast support #7

Open colek42 opened 7 years ago

colek42 commented 7 years ago

Multicast is alive and well in company intranets. The browser plugin depreciation has forced us to move our customers to a desktop application, increasing maintenance costs. WebUDP with multicast support would help out our use case (distributing video and telemetry) immensely.

The intention of this document effort is to explore server-client communication cases.

Multicasting - is related to UDP but is completely different scope and would open a very different security challenges to solve.

Would WebRTC be an option for distributed delivery of telemetry and video in your intranet case?

I also need multicast for P2P discovery of apps and services on lans. I don't need video or audio, just need a way to send datagrams to communicate and discover.
