|
Connectivity Establishment standard (ICE). It provides GLib-based
|
|
|
|
library, libnice and GStreamer elements.

|
|
ICE is useful for applications that want to establish peer-to-peer
|
|
|
|
UDP data streams. It automates the process of traversing NATs and
|
|
|
|
provides security against some attacks.
|

|
|
|
Existing standards that use ICE include Session Initiation Protocol
|
|
|
|
(SIP) and XMPP Jingle.
