If you have the time give WebRTC for the Curious[0] a read. I try and explain what WebRTC is and how it actually works. The big advantages that I see are.
* Can do P2P (and Client/Server)
* Mandatory Encryption
* Handles codec/track negotation. You don't need to know ahead of time what is being sent.
* Data channels. Can also be configured to be lossy/unordered for kind of performance needed for gaming.
* Uses existing protocols. Really easy to bridge with SIP/RTSP. This software/hardware goes all the way back to the late 90s
* Multiple implementations and available in the browser. No other protocol comes close in availability.
