I wanted to post this after discovering the libp2p transport that enables browser-to-server, and server-to-server, direct communication over WebRTC without requiring signalling servers:

This got me thinking and led me to a seminar from Stanford recorded last year:

We have been thinking about leveraging relay connections to achieve NAT hole punching without signalling servers.

Great talk! The last part really blew my mind, but I’m not sure I understood very well all they managed/want to parallelize everything in the last part.

Thislast part makes me think about the WebOS moonshot and partly this: https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/341#issuecomment-286879137
