DataChannels with NS3 DCE / Compile WebRTC with system gcc compiler

[opens...@epust.dk]

Hi All,

I am trying to make WebRTC DataChannels run in the NS-3 network simulator using the Direct Code Execution (DCE) feature - see https://www.nsnam.org/overview/projects/direct-code-execution/ - on Linux.

As a simple start, I have tried to run the stunserver which is a part of the WebRTC project using DCE. However this has not worked for me - see more details in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ns-3-users/JIirultln1o

I think the main problem is that the WebRTC project uses its own compiler and linker (with allot of special flags, even) instead of the one provided by the system.

I am considering trying to compile the WebRTC project using the standard gcc compiler installed on my system which is what DCE seems to prefer to use.

I would like to hear if anybody has any experience with this? Or anybody has tips on how I should do this? Or maybe if anybody has some kind of idea on the amount of problems I would face?

Best

Christian

What do you want to simulate? The whole stack (UDP/DTLS/SCTP/Data Channels) or only a part of it (for example, only SCTP/Data Channels)?

And do you want to run the whole browser including JS in that environment or just the data channel stack using the C++ API?
