Ion SFU

Go implementation of a WebRTC Selective Forwarding Unit

A selective forwarding unit is a video routing service which allows webrtc sessions to scale more efficiently. This package provides a simple, flexible, high performance Go implementation of a WebRTC SFU. It can be called directly or through a gRPC or json-rpc interface.

Quickstart

Run the Echo Test example

docker-compose -f examples/echotest/docker-compose.yaml up

Open the client

http://localhost:8000/

Services

sfu + json-rpc signaling

The json-rpc signaling service can be used to easily get up and running with the sfu. It can be used with the corresponding javascript signaling module.

Using golang environment

go build ./cmd/signal/json-rpc/main.go && ./main -c config.toml

Using docker

docker run -p 7000:7000 -p 5000-5200:5000-5200/udp pionwebrtc/ion-sfu:latest-jsonrpc

sfu + grpc signaling

For service-to-service communication, you can use the grpc interface. A common pattern is to call the grpc endpoints from a custom signaling service.

Using golang environment

go build ./cmd/signal/grpc/main.go && ./main -c config.toml

Using docker

docker run -p 50051:50051 -p 5000-5200:5000-5200/udp pionwebrtc/ion-sfu:latest-grpc

Media Processing

ion-sfu supports real-time processing on media streamed through the sfu using ion-avp.
