Impressive WebRTC work and codebase quality
From 3 comments
Wow, that's a huge effort and codebase! Congratulations for releasing it! I like the consistent coding style, the fact that cmake is used, and that sanitizers are used! I see the…
Matthias247 on HNSean, where were your libraries a year ago ...? Having implemented the entire WebRTC spec a couple times now, what wisdoms have you learned that can be shared with us mortals? If…
rytill on HNSean is phenominal, when I was writing a WebRTC service a year ago the Pion implementation looked really really good, so good that I learned Golang just to use Pions!

Useful for surveillance and video projects

Nice. I have been on and off woth gstreamer, and combining all of amazon stack for video processing, it makes a lot of sense for surveillance applications!

Requires OpenSSL, limiting use beyond embedded Linux
From 1 comment
There are a few widely-used embedded SSL stacks, of which mbed TLS is probably one worth targeting or adding support for (wolfSSL is another.) So long as this requires OpenSSL…

WebRTC leaks IP addresses and risks DDoS via P2P
From 2 comments
"I feel so strongly that WebRTC/P2P is the future I want to see." This sounds like it'd bring back the good ol' DDoS days where cable modem users could just knock dial-up users…

I am very curious to understand better how this stacks up against the usual C++ WebRTC implementation when code size isn't an issue, particularly with respect to flexibility. (I…

Questions
Does it support WebRTC data channels
From 1 comment
Looking through the documentation, there is no mention of WebRtc data channel. 1. Does this SDK support WebRtc data channel. 2. Does the AWS Kinesis WebRTC provide a managed…

Very cool! One thing I often ask about in WebRTC threads is if anyone has come across any native erlang or elixir implementations in the wild of the stack (not just signalling.)…
