Google Chrome 87 will remove support for the non-standard RTP data channels in WebRTC in favor of the standard SCTP-based data channels. The deprecation of the support for non-standard RTP data channels in WebRTC will take place in Chrome 86. It will help Google engineers remove complexity in the codebase to a significant extent.
“RTP data channels was a nonstandard feature introduced into the WebRTC codebase at its creation. Standardization efforts resulted in the definition of SCTP-based datachannels, which are much more common, and interoperate with other browsers. The continued support of RTP data channels adds significant complexity to the codebase” said developer Harald Alvestrand.
Developers are advised to switch to the standardized, interoperable SCTP data channels.
