rsip-dns VS webrtc

rsip is part of my Rust Voip stack, along with rsip-dns that I have recently been building through viska, a SIP server. SIP protocol is quite tricky to implement, because it's completely P2P so it has some interesting edge cases compared to HTTP which is way more simple. Viska is wip, needed a good SIP library to be productive there, but now that rsip is kinda done, I am gona move back to it :)

I am really excited about https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer. It has examples ready for ESP32 etc....

When working on KVS I wasn't familiar with the embedded space at all. I saw 'heavyweight' embedded where you were running on Linux. Then you had RTOS/No OS at all. I wasn't prepared for these devices at all. If we can make WebRTC work in the embedded space I think it will really accelerate what developers are able to build!

Remotely driven cars, security cameras, robots in hospitals that bring iPads to infectious patients etc... Creative people are building amazing things. The WebRTC/video space needs to work harder and support them :)

I love how diverse the WebRTC space is now. Outside of this implementation you have plenty of other options!

* https://github.com/aiortc/aiortc (Python)

* GStreamer’s webrtcbin (C)

See https://github.com/sipsorcery/webrtc-echoes for examples of some running against each other.

This is not true, there are actually multiple WebRTC implementations in different languages besides the reference library: aiortc (python), libdatachannel (C++), sipsorcery (C#),webrtc-rs (rust), werift (Typescript), and Amazon Kinesis (C)

I am trying to get WebRTC working using Rust https://github.com/webrtc-rs/webrtc

I have opened an issue on GitHub [1], we can continue there.

webrtc

webrtc.rs is a port of Pion (which we also use). It's a better fit for server-side use

I want to use peer-to-peer communication and data transfer for my next side project (client-server web app). I've been doing some research and WebRTC seems to be the only option for this on the client. There are a ton of libraries and product offering for facilitating STUN/TURN servers as a service, but I'm quite interested in learning more about these protocols. That being said, I'm not the best rust programmer (part of the reason of using Rust as the server is so that I can learn more), and the signalling protocols seem rather complicated. I've looked at https://github.com/webrtc-rs/webrtc and it seems promising.
