I have three routers, each with properly working PipeTransports. I currently have A → B connected, but want to at a later time connect A -\>C.

I can call B.close and it will stop sending its rtp packets to A.

However, if I call A.connect with C’s address and port, I get an error that its already connected. If I call A.close first before trying to connect to C, I get an error that it doesn’t exist when I try to connect it to C. Is there a disconnect command or similar that allows me to connect it to a new endpoint without completely destroying it?

What is the correct way to dynamically switch pipes between routers at runtime?

No, transports (including PipeTransport) cannot be disconnected and reconnected to another endpoint.
