Flexible and powerful multi-stream media server ready for WebRTC and other RTP based technologies.

• Not ready yet. Work must be done on the ControlProtocol and the high level API in order to make MediaSoup usable. Working on it.

• Supports WebRTC media requirements (ICE-Lite, DTLS-SRTP, rtcp-mux, bundle) along with classic VoIP technologies (SDES-SRTP, plain RTP/RTCP).
• ICE/DTLS/RTP/RTCP over UDP and TCP.
• Multi participant real-time sessions.
• IPv6 ready.
• Signaling agnostic. MediaSoup does not deal with SIP or other signaling protocols. In the other side, it can deal with any signaling protocol.
• SDP unaware. Really, MediaSoup will not parse a SDP for you.
• Just media. MediaSoup cares about media processing so it relies on an external application which deals with your preferred signaling protocol and manages MediaSoup by using the MediaSoup ControlProtocol.
• Extremely powerful. MediaSoup is coded in C++ on top of the awesome libuv asychronous I/O library. MediaSoup is a single process application with multiple Worker threads for media handling. MediaSoup takes full advantage of your CPU capabilities.

• libuv: Cross-platform asychronous I/O C library. Version ~1.0.2 required.
• libconfig: C/C++ library for processing configuration files. Version ~1.4.8 required.
• openssl. Version >=1.0.1 required.
• libsrtp. Version >=1.5.0 required.

MediaSoup runs in any Posix system (tested in Linux Debian 7 "Wheezy" and OSX 10.9 "Mavericks") in both 32 or 64 bits architectures (Big or Little Endian).

MediaSoup requires C++11 and other features available in gcc >= 4.7 or clang >= 5.

• Install dependencies (see above).
• Compile MediaSoup:

$ make

TODO: make install, make test, etc still missing.

The mediasoup binary is placed at the bin/ directory. For help on its usage run it with -h or --help:

$ ./bin/mediasoup --help
