DataChannel implemented!

[ibc (Iñaki Baz Castillo)]

Hi all,

mediasoup v3 includes now DataChannel support via the new DataProducer and DataConsumer handlers in both mediasoup and mediasoup-client and the new methods transport.produceData() and transport.consumeData().

• mediasoup implements WebRTC DataChannels, this is: SCTP streams on top of DTLS on top of UDP/TCP.
• mediasoup also implements pure SCTP protocol on top of plain UDP (for PlainRtpTransport and PipeTransport). This makes it possible to interact with SCTP messages (in and out) in server side.
  • Check the mediasoup-demo Bot which uses the node-sctp module to send and receive SCTP messages into/from a mediasoup router (just type @bot xxxxx in the new text input in the demo application to communicate with the server side bot).

Test it online at https://v3demo.mediasoup.org.
