Jitsi grew out of Google's Jingle extensions to the Jabber protocol for voice and video calls. And WebRTC call initiation requires at least a custom solution for exchanging SDP messages. So if you don't want to have an XMPP server in your setup, you need another server to handle all that signaling.
- Nextgrid 7y agoMy argument is that it would require less code (thus less potential bugs and vulnerabilities) to implement the SDP exchange. I'm suspecting that Jitsi only uses a tiny bit of the capabilities of the XMPP server which means most of it is there doing nothing besides being a potential liability.
