WebRTC server options

[JordiCP]

I am exploring WebRTC. I've visited several posts in this forum, also on internet, and tested some basic examples. --> now I have a bit of knowledge and too much info.

My concern is basically on the server side: the solution needs to allow up to 10-15 peers, provide some sort of authentication in order to create rooms, and be able to connect from Android but also from a normal (compatible) desktop browser.

For this amount of peers, and according to what I have read, it seems that a mesh architecture is not advisable due to required bandwidth, being MCU the way to go.

Has anyone dealt with paid webRTC servers that allow multiconnection with MCU architecture? Or deployed his own server? I have started exploring liveswitch which seems to offer this at a reasonable cost

Any experience-based insights on which options are worth... will be welcome

Hi Jordi:

I use (not for webRTC but for a simple VPS) clouding.io
They are in Barcelona, and they have good prices. Even when you register, you'll have 5€ for free to test (they ask you for a credit card just for security reasons).
With this 5€, and shutting down the server when you're not using it, you can test it for more than a month.

I've searched with your requirements, and maybe this article can be useful for you:

clouding.io

EDIT: Maybe it's not the same you're asking, but it's compatible with webRTC, not sure if could fit your requirements

Gracias José! ?

Yes, Jitsi was mentioned in some of the tens of tabs I opened while searching. Will explore a bit...

Still scratching the surface, I still don't know if the best is to go to an already deployed WebRTC server solution and pay a monthly fee or try deploying a Jitsi-similar solution on my own server.

Clouding.io seems good, will also explore it for my experiments.

Thanks again!
