Good question; JackTrip normally uses UDP and I think most browsers do not support sending UDP packets directly without an extension.

If you could send UDP directly then WebRTC could presumably be avoided.

Doesn’t webrtc use UDP?

In some cases on some web browsers WebRTC can be configured to use UDP.

But that's exactly the problem. Usually, nobody knows what's actually happening in that 20000+ lines of code WebRTC stack.
