Hi all,

Is it possible to perform a network test between a client (using a browser) and a server (for example NodeJS) with WebRTC to measure packet loss between these two machines? How would that be done? 

Thank you in advance,
Alexandru

test.webrtc.org does such a test -- it relays a local-local connection via a TURN server. The source code for that application is available from https://github.com/webrtc/testrtc

In the end I've managed to implement a packet loss test using DataChannel over UDP, and used two RTC Peers on the same computer by forcing the traffic to a Coturn server, as you suggested. I didn't find the network configuration part on testrtc's code (it seems to be in some configuration files in the main folder), but knowing it was technically possible helped me.

Thank you,
Alexandru
