Nice!
I also now of this Android App that uses WebRTC Audio/Video without server (no Internet or DHCP needed): https://github.com/dakhnod/Meshenger https://github.com/dakhnod/Meshenger
I made a submission, in case somebody likes to discuss the need for serverless WebRTC:

(Disclaimer: I am not the author of the App, but I helped out a bit)
- AquiGorka 8y ago> Contacts are found by taking the devices own IPv6 addresses and replacing the devices own MAC address by the contacts MAC address. You require the devices to be on the same network for this to work right?
- garlicfish 8y agoYes, that is (mostly) true. The App uses ipv6 link local addresses (fe80::.. + mac address). But it also tries to make use the received IPv6 network prefixes. Also, the last contact address is stored. These approaches improves the probability a bit to find the contacts in other networks. As a side note, many mesh networks are emulating a layer 2 network. With this, everybody can build up their own decentralized telephone network.
- AquiGorka 8y ago> everybody can build up their own decentralized telephone network Nice. I'm very interested in being able to connect devices in areas where there is no Internet and using a mobile router, like in the mountains or in a bus trip through deserted areas.
