Hi Tanguille, Cap'n Proto is agnostic to the underlying byte transport. It can layer on top of any byte stream or datagram stream. In terms of the C++ implementation, you can write a custom implementation of the capnp::MessageStream interface in terms of any transport you'd like. For example, you could use Cap'n Proto over WebRTC. It's up to you to establish the byte-oriented or datagram-oriented connection first, then Cap'n Proto helps you interact with the peer across that connection.
NAT traversal is the responsibility of the underlying transport, so is outside the scope of Cap'n Proto itself. -Kenton On Wed, Aug 30, 2023 at 8:36 AM Tanguille Grootaert < tanguille.groota...@gmail.com> wrote: > I discovered that WebRTC is actually some kind of stream multiplexer.
