You can call updateICE at any point.  I also recall us agreeing to let you specify the number of candidates, but it's not in the spec. If it gets added to updateICE then you would be able to specify the number of candidates before setLocal.

Hi Eric, thanks a lot for the information you provide.

Is it feasible with the current API to ask for N ICE candidates prior
to having the local SDP set as local descriptor in the PeerConnection?


That has been discussed (and I thought agreed upon) but I don't see
it in the spec.
