A [selective forwarding unit](https://webrtcglossary.com/sfu/) is a video routing service which allows webrtc sessions to scale more efficiently. This package provides a simple, flexible, high performance Go implementation of a WebRTC SFU. It can be called directly or through a [gRPC](cmd/signal/grpc) or [json-rpc](cmd/signal/json-rpc) interface.

## Features

* Audio/Video/Datachannel forwarding
* Congestion Control (TWCC, REMB, RR/SR)
* Unified plan semantics
* Pub/Sub Peer Connection (`O(n)` port usage)
* Audio level indication (RFC6464). "X is speaking"

## End to end solutions

ion-sfu is the engine behind several projects. It's designed to be focused, with minimal signaling or external dependencies. It's simple to embed ion-sfu within your service: we include a few examples inside `cmd/signal`.

For "batteries-included", end-to-end solutions that are easier to deploy, check out:

* [LiveKit](https://github.com/livekit/livekit-server): Open source platform for real-time communication (SDKs for all major platforms)
* [Ion](https://github.com/pion/ion): Real-Distributed RTC System by pure Go and Flutter

## Quickstart

Run the Echo Test example

```
docker-compose -f examples/echotest-jsonrpc/docker-compose.yaml up
```

Open the client
```
http://localhost:8000/
```

### SFU with json-rpc signaling

The json-rpc signaling service can be used to easily get up and running with the sfu. It can be used with the [corresponding javascript signaling module](https://github.com/pion/ion-sdk-js/blob/master/src/signal/json-rpc-impl.ts).

##### Using golang environment

```
go build ./cmd/signal/json-rpc/main.go && ./main -c config.toml
```

##### Using docker

```
docker run -p 7000:7000 -p 5000-5200:5000-5200/udp pionwebrtc/ion-sfu:latest-jsonrpc
```

### SFU with gRPC signaling

For service-to-service communication, you can use the grpc interface. A common pattern is to call the grpc endpoints from a custom signaling service.

##### Using golang environment

```
go build ./cmd/signal/grpc/main.go && ./main -c config.toml
```

##### Using docker

```
docker run -p 50051:50051 -p 5000-5200:5000-5200/udp pionwebrtc/ion-sfu:latest-grpc
```

## Media Processing

`ion-sfu` supports real-time processing on media streamed through the sfu using [`ion-avp`](https://github.com/pion/ion-avp).

For an example of recording a MediaStream to webm, checkout the [save-to-webm](https://github.com/pion/ion-avp/tree/master/examples/save-to-webm) example.

## Development

Generate the protocol buffers and grpc code:

1. Best choice (uses docker): `make protos`.
2. Manually:
- Install protocol buffers and the protcol buffers compiler. On Fedora `dnf install protobuf protobuf-compiler`.
- `go get google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc`
- `go get google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go`
- `protoc --go_out=. --go-grpc_out=. --go_opt=paths=source_relative --go-grpc_opt=paths=source_relative cmd/signal/grpc/proto/sfu.proto`
