Re: [rtcweb] Same location media

I may be mis-understanding what type of consent you folks are talking about, but RTMP is over TCP.  
For any TCP-based mechanism, you get some "consent" from the TCP SYN/ACK you get back from the far end, as opposed to say an ICMP port error.  Since the TCP layer won't send data until that, it's a natural consent gate.

RTMFP uses UDP but I believe there is in fact a handshake required in the beginning and that's effectively consent.
