# Node-ICE

An implementation of Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE, RFC 5245) for

Node.js.

## Why is ICE useful?

ICE solves the problem of establishing a UDP based connection between two peers

potentially behind NATs without them having to muck around with their router's

port forwarding settings.  Without ICE, it's *highly likely* for UDP

connections given between two random peers to fail.

## Implementation Details

For those of you who have read the spec(s).  This is a full implementation (not

a lite implementation), with full trickle (as opposed to half trickle), and

aggressive nomination (as opposed to regular nomination).

This module was seperated from

[my Node.js RTCPeerConnection](https://github.com/nickdesaulniers/node-rtc-peer-connection)

implementation for reusability. As such, that library drives the interface to

this library.
