Primary eng (and PM) emails h...@chromium.org, h...@chromium.org Summary WebRTC allows sending and receiving audio, video and arbitrary data between two endpoints using the RTCPeerConnection API.
The googIPv6 constraint was originally added to opt-in to IPv6 support while that was in development, but IPv6 support has subsequently been enabled-by-default for many years. While setting googIPv6 to true is a NO-OP, some users make use of this non-standard API to disable IPv6 by setting it to false. Motivation A spec-compliant WebRTC implementation supports IPv6 and has no way to disable IPv6. Non-chromium browsers does not have an ability to disable IPv6, so this constraint is not good for interop. We want to remove googIPv6 because a) it's non-standard, and b) it resides in a dictionary argument of the RTCPeerConnection called mediaConstraints that is also non-standard. The existence of googIPv6 prevents us from removing mediaConstraints. Interoperability and Compatibility Risk The other browser vendors have been very supportive of removing non-standard WebRTC APIs in the past, but I have not reached out to any browser vendor specifically about googIPv6. Alternative implementation suggestion for web developers N/A.
