libwebrtc sends STUN attributes with type 0xC057 which is defined here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-thatcher-ice-network-cost
Rationale: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ice/gOAus-n6Ll3hfTfBC6zVd6_VTkE/
We're using 0xC057 for an experimental "network cost" attribute, which is
described in this draft:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-thatcher-ice-network-cost-00
This is used in order to communicate an endpoint's preference for different
networks (if the endpoint is using multiple network interfaces), so that
the controlling ICE endpoint can select the preferred one based on certain
criteria. We can't just use the ICE candidate priority, because the "type
preference" part of the priority (local, stun, relay) takes precedence over
the "local preference". There are other reasons as well, which are
discussed in the draft.
Notes
- The draft expired in 2016.
