EPIC Large group E2EE conferencing - SFU

Open fkwp opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

This is an epic issue. List of individual issues is below:

To allow large group conferences and to preserve E2EE, a Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) is necessary as the upstream data rate in full-mesh mode does not scale at large.

  • SFU requirements
  • Speaks MSC3401 with clients to set up streams
  • Cascades to other SFUs
  • Doesn't require being able to see media, ie. supports e2e with insertable streams
  • Also useful: support for large scale audio-only broadcasts with basic role support (ie. broadcasters & listeners)
  • SFU design
  • Implementation
