RTCIceCandidateStats: protocol property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since February 2020.

The protocol property of the RTCIceCandidateStats dictionary indicates the protocol the specified candidate would use for communication with the remote peer.

Value

The value is one of the following strings:

tcp

The candidate, if selected, would use TCP as the transport protocol for its data. The tcpType property provides additional information about the kind of TCP candidate represented by the object.

udp

The candidate will use the UDP transport protocol for its data. This is the preferred protocol for media interactions because of its better performance profile.
