#9163 new enhancement

Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) support for WebRTC (RFC 5245)

Description

I had a look through the documentation, code and issue tracker and I found support for RTP and SRTP but nothing about ICE.

Therefore, I'm opening this issue as a placeholder to track the requirement.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5245
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_Connectivity_Establishment

Is anybody already working on this?

Does anybody have any ideas on how a volunteer should begin?

If anybody has examples of wrapping the ffmpeg code with some other library for ICE please feel free to share the links here, these may be useful workarounds for some users.

I don't know if your enhancement requests are within the scope of FFmpeg or not.

Thanks for the feedback, there is a similar feature in gstreamer now
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/webrtc/index.html?gi-language=c

Both DTLS-SRTP and ICE need to create and operate on the relevant media sockets where the streams are sent and received. Either

a) these protocols need to be integrated at that point in the stack, or

b) there needs to be a way to pass the socket to ffmpeg's srtp module if it is managed in another part of the application
