There is getStats() API available in mediasoup. But I want to use another library to avoid doing it myself. [https://github.com/muaz-khan/getStats](https://github.com/muaz-khan/getStats) . but this library is giving error that transport is not instance RTCPerrConnection, mediasoup documentation says it returns RTCstatsReport [https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup-client/api/#transport-getStats](https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup-client/api/#transport-getStats)  
is there a way to get normal RTCPeerConnection from transport?

Obviously a mediasoup-client `Transport` instance is not a `RTCPeerConnection` instance.

> is there a way to get normal RTCPeerConnection from transport?

Undocumented and not guaranteed to work for all browsers (now and in the future), but this gives you the RTCPeerConnection instance:

`transport._handler._pc`
