Were these measurements involving rtp relays, or just point to point 
transmissions?

Considering the amount of symmetric nat firewalls, even with ICE, a 
relevant number of RTC sessions will require a public relay, TURN server 
or similar (unless everyone will be on IPv6 at the time of production 
WebRTC deployments, which seems to have a chance looking at some debates 
or issues/patents related to several WebRTC decisions :-) ).

As a new technology cannot satisfy everyone, but if it does not work 
good enough for majority, it will end up in a series of patches that 
will complicate everything (remember sip-nat relation). It is easier to 
digest and sell improvements brought by future extensions (e.g., 
alternative session setup mechanism for better security) than 
specifications doing actually downgrades.

Cheers,
Daniel
