PeerDataServer
PeerDataServer is messaging service on Node using socket.io. This is ready to use example signaling server for PeerData library.
The sender and receiver RTCPeerConnections run in web pages on different devices, and we need a way for them to communicate metadata. For this, we use a signaling server: a server that can pass messages between WebRTC clients (peers).
In order to set up and maintain a WebRTC call, WebRTC clients (peers) need to exchange metadata:
- Candidate (network) information.
- Offer and answer messages providing information about media.
In other words, an exchange of metadata is required before peer-to-peer streaming of audio, video, or data can take place. This process is called signaling.
Installation
$ npm install peer-data-server
