Hi, mediasoup co-author here.

Comparing Jitsi with mediasoup is like comparing Netflix (backend + apps) with Express.js + libcurl.

Jitsi developers may replace their RTC core internals (including the SFU) with mediasoup + mediasoup-client and you wouldn't even realize of it. Hope this helps.

There is not even a connection. During the RTCPeerConnection's "ICE Gathering" process local IPs are discovered and, if STUN/TURN servers are configured within the RTCPeerConnection, STUN requests are sent to those servers (which help retrieving the public IP of the computer/router). But you don't need even to send a single packet in order to get local IPs (private ones, VPN ones, etc).
