Question #2

Open GrosSacASac opened 8 years ago

GrosSacASac commented 8 years ago

Question: Is it a good idea that I use this project (step 3 ) as a basis for a new project that uses WebRTC DataChanels ? Is there anything I should change before ?

romain-cotte commented 8 years ago

It's ok to use it as a new Project. However, you have to make some improvements. I would recommend to follow the 12 factor. This means create a stateless process : keep the ids in a database or cache. Moreover, if you want to scale up for multiple servers, you need a strategy for the sockets.

I was already thinking about saving state on disk rather than ram on the back end, I am going to publish the new project soon , it will be open source, do you want to be included in the list of contributors ? Also do you know if RTCPeerConnection data channel is reliable or unreliable ? does it use TCP UDP or something else ?

It's not perfectly reliable but audio and video are packet loss tolerant. The used protocol depends on clients, this is what is negotiated during ice candidate exchange step.

I don't have much time but I can take a look.
