Also to lower latency.
- toast0 3y agoFWIW, lower latency is not guaranteed when going direct vs through a relay. There are way too many variables in routing. You've got to try it all ways and see. Ideally, you should try to measure the one way delay on each path and choose the 'best' path in each direction, but WebRTC tries to converge on the 'same' path for both directions (either relay both ways or direct both ways).
