RTCIceTransport: getSelectedCandidatePair() method
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The getSelectedCandidatePair() method of the RTCIceTransport interface returns an RTCIceCandidatePair object containing the current best-choice pair of ICE candidates describing the configuration of the endpoints of the transport.
Syntax
getSelectedCandidatePair()
Parameters
None.
Return value
A RTCIceCandidatePair object describing the configurations of the currently-selected candidate pair's two endpoints.
local describes the configuration of the local end of the connection, while remote describes the remote peer's configuration.
The return value is null if no pair of candidates has been selected yet.
Usage notes
As the ICE agent performs negotiation of a RTCPeerConnection, it gathers and analyzes candidate configurations from each the two peers.
As soon as it finds an acceptable matching pair of candidates, meeting the requirements for the connection, a selectedcandidatepairchange event is fired at the RTCIceTransport.
From that time forward, the best matching pair of candidates will always be available by calling getSelectedCandidatePair().
As ICE negotiation continues, any time a pair of candidates is discovered that is better than the currently-selected pair, the new pair is selected, replacing the previous pairing, and the selectedcandidatepairchange event is fired again.
Note: It's possible for one of the configurations in the selected candidate pair to remain unchanged when a new pairing is chosen.
Examples
See RTCIceTransport.onselectedcandidatepairchange for example code.
