Description

Description

With #4248, we've implemented a websys-based version of the WebRTC-direct protocol via browser bindings. To keep the scope of the PR small, the webrtc protocol which allows for browser-to-browser connections has not been implemented. This issue tracks the implementation of that protocol in the webrtc-websys transport.

Spec is: https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/webrtc/webrtc.md
