DataChannel endpoint: are DirectTransports really needed?

[ibc (Iñaki Baz Castillo)]

it seems it’s possible to consume the DataChannel messages on server-side by adding a DirectTransport, create a DataConsumer there, and connect to the DataProducer in the PipeTransport. It’s easy, but I’m a bit concerned about the extra DirectTransport. Maybe a bit stupid question, but can’t they be consumed directly from the PipeTransport Producer?

You can consume a DataProducer from a normal DataConsumer created in a PipeTransport in the same Router as the DataProducer. No need for DirectTransport here.

@piranna

In addition to that, it seems like DataConsumer.send()

This is a hack due to hot changes. All this will be refactored in v4.
