Aiortc
aiortc is a Python implementation of the WebRTC protocol, providing an asynchronous stack for real-time audio, video, and data streaming between peers. It functions as a media engine and data channel implementation that manages peer connections through a non-blocking framework.
The library enables the establishment of direct peer-to-peer networking by negotiating session descriptions and connectivity paths. It facilitates secure, bidirectional data transmission via data channels and supports low-latency media streaming using standard codecs.
The system includes capabilities for network NAT traversal and session management. Security is handled through secure communication channel setup, which involves generating keys and certificates to encrypt all media and data traffic.
