Ion SFU

Go implementation of a WebRTC Selective Forwarding Unit

Slack Widget GoDoc Coverage Status Go Report Card


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.

Features

  • Audio/Video/Datachannel forwarding
  • Congestion Control (TWCC, REMB, RR/SR)
  • Unified plan semantics
  • Pub/Sub Peer Connection (O(n) port usage)
  • Audio level indication (RFC6464). "X is speaking"

Quickstart

Run the Echo Test example

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

Open the client

http://localhost:8000/

SFU with 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 with 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.

Development

Generate the protocol buffers and grpc code:

  1. Best choice (uses docker): make protos.
  2. Manually:
    • Install protocol buffers and the protcol buffers compiler. On Fedora dnf install protobuf protobuf-compiler.
    • go get google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc
    • go get google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go
    • protoc --go_out=. --go-grpc_out=. --go_opt=paths=source_relative --go-grpc_opt=paths=source_relative cmd/signal/grpc/proto/sfu.proto
