I wonder if WebRTC will ever support Multicast IP (or maybe explicit multi-unicast) so that you only need to upload one copy of your signal.
Something tells me the various consumer routers out there wouldn't know how to deal with the traffic...
- toast0 5y agoWebRTC can support it all they want, but to a first approximation, Multicast doesn't work over the open internet, so it won't help outside of corporate videoconference (which generally runs OK, because corporate networks are mostly wired and often overprovisioned or easier to provision than homes)
- detaro 5y agoconsumer routers are not the main problem with that (they might even support multicast, because various ISPs use it to distribute TV channels) - the public internet generally has no way of handling it.
