What slows down webRTC?

Question

linux

Hey All!
when connecting more than three users to a video chat on webRTC, strong lags occur, 5-7th may not connect,
judging by the description and the "peer to peer" technology itself, everything should work pretty fast
where can there be a bottleneck (server, network, browser)?
how to catch the problem?

Answer 1

a computer
when you communicate with 1 person video + sound the laptop notably heats up for example.
a lot of resources are required in general. send video and receive at the same time.

Answer 2

judging by different articles, the maximum number of connections is up to 256, so it’s embarrassing that I’m already in the top ten

Answer 3

Since the connection works without a server, the user sends his video stream to each user, which seriously clogs the channel. It is quite logical that lags will be present.
