WebRTCP2PVerbindung

WebRTCP2PVerbindung refers to a peer-to-peer connection established using WebRTC technology. WebRTC, which stands for Web Real-Time Communication, is an open-source project that enables real-time communication features such as voice calling, video chat, and data sharing directly between web browsers and mobile applications. A P2P connection bypasses the need for a central server to mediate communication, allowing data to flow directly from one user's device to another. This direct connection can lead to lower latency and reduced server costs.

Establishing a WebRTCP2PVerbindung typically involves several steps. First, a signaling mechanism is used to exchange metadata between peers, including network addresses and session descriptions. This signaling is usually handled by a separate server. Once the peers have exchanged the necessary information, they attempt to establish a direct connection. Technologies like STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) and TURN (Traversal Using Relays around NAT) are often employed to overcome network address translation (NAT) and firewall challenges, ensuring that peers can connect even when behind complex network configurations. If a direct P2P connection is successful, media streams (audio, video) and data are exchanged directly. If direct connection fails, a TURN server may relay the traffic.
