Parallel peer to peer connection establishment in WebRTC conferencing

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method comprises using a media server, establishing a video conference between a first instance of a media application and a second instance of the media application over a relay connection, in response to determining that the video conference comprises only the first instance and the second instance of the media application, determining by the first instance of the media application candidate addresses for a peer to peer (P2P) connection with the second instance of the media application, the candidate addresses excluding the media server, sending the candidate addresses to the second instance of the media application, establishing the P2P connection using a particular candidate address, in response to establishing the P2P connection, setting the relay connection to an inactive state and sending media data for the video conference over the P2P connection.
