Data channel, merge srs-sctp

[ZoroLH]

Any plan to merge srs-sctp?

Really need to send and receive data on webrtc data channel.

DataChannel is indeed a very necessary feature, which can be used in instant messaging (IM) scenarios. Of course, WebRTC is also continuously adjusting the implementation of DataChannel. It is possible that in the future, QUIC could also be used as a channel for IM messages. Therefore, we should not rush to merge this feature. We might discuss and see if it is appropriate to merge it in SRS (Simple Real-time Server) version 6 or 7.

Text message is good for a meeting room, and binary data send and receive could broaden the scenario a lot. We are trying to remotely control the robot by SRS, it is good to broadcast video and audio out now.

I have discovered two instant messaging solutions.

https://github.com/openimsdk/open-im-server
https://github.com/tinode/chat

Typically, they would use WebSockets instead of DataChannels.

Moreover, using WebRTC DataChannels for instant messaging may not necessarily offer more advantages than WebSockets.

Thanks for the info, agree with that, we are looking into other solution as well.
