WebRTC’s peer connection includes a getStats method that provides a variety of low-level statistics. Basic apps don’t really need to worry about these stats but many more advanced WebRTC apps use getStats for passive monitoring and even to make active changes. Extracting meaning from the getStats data is not all that straightforward. Luckily return author […]

Calculating True End-to-End RTT (Balázs Kreith)
Balázs Kreith of the open-source WebRTC monitoring project, ObserveRTC shows how to calculate WebRTC latency – aka Round Trip Time (RTT) – in p2p scenarios and end-to-end across one or more with SFUs. WebRTC’s getStats provides relatively easy access to RTT values, bu using those values in a real-world environment for accurate results is more difficult. He provides a step-by-step guide using some simple Docke examples that compute end-to-end RTT with a single SFU and in cascaded SFU environments.
