WebRTC: ICE failed, add a TURN server and see about:webrtc for more details about timing-provider-server HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @Karwelox, thanks for your nice words.

The error sounds as if there was no way to establish a peer to peer connection between some of your clients. Is it possible that some of them are not on the same network or are blocked by something else to talk to each other. Maybe the network is just at its max capacity and can't transmit the data in time anymore.

In general this server is very simple and after re-reading the README I realized that I forgot to mention that it is primarily meant for local testing. It establishes a full mesh P2P network. Every client needs to create n-1 connections to all the other clients in this scenario. While it's very easy to reason about it's also very inefficient with more and more clients.

I built a commercial solution available at suenc.io that supports a very large number of concurrent clients by connecting them in a more sophisticated way. Maybe that works as an alternative for your use case.

Anyway, I would still be happy to track down the error that you reported. Is it possible that it's just a network issue?

Hi @carmelofascella,

I added a little note to the readme which mentions the intended use case of this server.

Nevertheless, I would still be happy to check if there is anything that could be fixed to avoid the error you got. Feel free to re-open this issue.
