[API] Peer to peer #85

if the server doesn't have enough processing powers to handle a great amount of users in voice chat possibly streaming, the server should be configurable to tell the client to use peer to peer technology instead of going over the server.

The only big problem is that this would leak the users ip address and is using a lot of bandwidth on the users side in a voice/video chat with lots of members.

Web can do it with web rtc.

Or by socket

yes but the the problem is that it leaks your ip address and it isn't scalable in with many users
