It's P2P, like most videoconferencing. The server part is just for session management.

  And firewall punching etc

    Can firewall punching work without proxying all traffic over the server?
    • jhauris 7y ago
      Yes, if you're using UDP. Check out STUN and TURN.

  > like most videoconferencing Well, if there's only 2, maybe 3 of you – anything beyond that is going to use a server to host the call for reliability.

    > Well, if there's only 2, maybe 3 of you... Do you mean for more than 3 - the call/video is routed through the server and would consume server bandwidth? If so how is jitsi paying for all this if it is free?

      I don't know how they're paying but it's absolutely 100% routed through a server.
