webrtc transport

[AdrianRossouw]

we discussed wanting to enable graft/jschan over webrtc data channels too. this issue is to collect some of the related concepts.

Raynos has a data-channel module which seems to do some of what we need : https://github.com/Raynos/data-channel

Ampersand.js guys have a bunch of relevant modules/experience :
https://www.npmjs.org/package/rtcpeerconnection
https://www.npmjs.org/package/webrtc
https://www.npmjs.org/package/simplewebrtc

And there's all @feross' excellent work over on webtorrent :

The most relevant of those would seem to be simple-peer:
https://github.com/feross/simple-peer

It should be easy to wire Graft services through https://github.com/feross/simple-peer#stream--peergetdatastream and https://github.com/GraftJS/jschan/tree/master/lib/stream (it's what we use for websockets anyway).

@mcollina yep, that should work! but let me know if you run into any issues and i'll do my best to help debug :)

[mcollina]

@feross thanks! :). Just one question: that stream is binary by default, right?

[feross]

yep!
