[Nice] a question on libnice

[Youness Alaoui]

Hi,

Please use the mailing list for questions next time, this way, you could get
answers from others (in case I'm unavailable) and the responses you get might be
able to help others too. I've added the mailing list as CC.

The PseudoTcp class available in libnice can be used as is for your own reasons,
but if you plan on using it with an ICE connection then you don't need to do any
of that. You simply need to call nice_agent_new_reliable() instead of
nice_agent_new() and the new nice agent will automaticlaly use the pseudotcp
class internally to provide you with a reliable transport.
You will need to listen to the "reliable-transport-writable" signal in order to
determine if the pseudotcp is reliable. Please read this mail for more info on
how it should work

As for your listening tcp socket, I would suggest your application uses libnice
to connect through the NAT and connects to the TCP port locally using a normal
socket (on 127.0.0.1) and simply proxy data in/out from the local tcp socket to
the ice agent. It's the best way of doing it without porting your whole service
to using libnice.

I hope this helps.
Youness.
