rust-libp2p for browser-to-browser communication

[thankrandomness]

Hi! I am aware of js-libp2p. I wanted to check if there's a wasm compilation of rust-libp2p that anyone used for browser-to-browser communication. - Thanks!

Hi @thankrandomness,

Yes, rust-libp2p compiles to WASM and is used to run in browsers e.g. via https://github.com/paritytech/substrate.

Note: In order for two browsers to communicate you need some intermediary relay or coordination point for hole punching, given the restrictions of browser platforms. See https://github.com/mxinden/specs/blob/hole-punching/connections/hole-punching.md and libp2p/specs#312 for details.
