Hi there

I’ve been playing around with DirectTransport and I’ve found that messages with consumer.rtpParameters in them do not get sent via DirectTransport DataProducer :). For example when a peer gets connected I’d send that peer’s info (stringifying it with JSON.stringify) to every other peer in the room.

```auto
info() {
    return {
      id: this.id,
      username: this.username,
      consumerOptions: {
        id: this.consumer.id,
        producerId: this.consumer.producerId,
        kind: this.consumer.kind,
        rtpParameters: this.consumer.rtpParameters,
      },
      dataConsumerOptions: {
        id: this.dataConsumer.id,
        dataProducerId: this.dataConsumer.dataProducerId,
        sctpStreamParameters: this.dataConsumer.sctpStreamParameters,
        label: this.dataConsumer.label,
        protocol: this.dataConsumer.protocol,
      },
    };

```

The message gets sent as long as consumer.rtpParameters are not in the message. Might it be an issue with serialization ? Thanks

DirectTransport is just for messages, no for media. Explained in the docs.
