WebRTC Native Project

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Mission

To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla, and Opera, amongst others.

Development

See here for instructions on how to get started developing with the native code.

For a detailed list of directories containing the native API header files, refer to the authoritative list.

Testing Frameworks and Tools

Automated WebRTC Testbed (Native C++)

A complete testing framework for WebRTC applications built using native C++ code. This testbed enables:

• Automated peer connection testing between multiple endpoints
• Network condition simulation and testing
• Performance benchmarking and metrics collection

Building from Source

1. Install depot tools (Linux setup guide)

2. Create .gclient file in your root directory:

   solutions = [
     {
       "url": "https://github.com/lgs96/native-webrtc-project.git",
       "managed": False,
       "name": "src",
       "deps_file": "DEPS",
       "custom_deps": {},
       "custom_vars": {},
     },
   ]
   target_os = ["linux"]  # Adjust based on your target platform

3. Sync dependencies:

   gclient sync

4. Generate build files:

   gn gen out/Default

5. Install additioanl dependencies

   sudo apt-get install libwebsocket-dev

6. Build peer connection client:

   ninja -C out/Default peerconnection_client

Running Tests

# Basic connection test
./out/Default/peerconnection_client --server={signaling_server} --room_id={room_id} --experiment_mode=real (or emulation), --y4m_path={your_file.y4m}

Common Options

• --server: Signaling server address (default: localhost)
• --room_id: Room identifier (default: auto-generated)
• --experiment_mode: Real environment or emulation (default: real)
• --y4m_path: Test video path (should be a y4m file) (default: square test video)
