Testing the limits of WebRTC
I wanted to see how far a pure WebRTC mesh conference could go before things start falling apart.
Built a small experiment where multiple Electron clients run inside Linux network namespaces and connect to each other via WebRTC.
Works smoothly with \~4 peers but around 8 peers video playback starts getting pretty jittery.
Demo gifs in the repo:

The network simulation part is powered by a small Node.js module I wrote:
https://github.com/RaisinTen/virtual-net
Curious what others have seen in real deployments.
