WebRTC API redirection with alternative network connectivity steering

Abstract:

A computing system includes a server within an enterprise, with the includes at least one processor to access a real-time media application to provide real-time communications (RTC) for peer-to-peer networking, and intercept APIs of the real-time media application so that a portion of the real-time media application is redirected away from said server. The redirected portion of the real-time media application includes provisioning information directed to a media server. A client device is associated with a branch within the enterprise and includes a processor to execute the redirected portion of the real-time media application, and receive alternative network connectivity options for the peer-to-peer networking from a network edge appliance associated with the branch within the enterprise. At least one media stream is established with the peer computing device via the network edge appliance based on the alternative network connectivity probing.
