People often ask whether it's possible to do live streaming with webtorrent.
I think it would be useful to add some info about that in the faq.

"Although, in theory, it's possible to have P2P live streaming, there isn't yet a complete implementation. Why not start one yourself and share it?"

I'm thinking if it is possible to use only bittorrent-dht for peer discovery and then use a normal WebRTC communication for P2P live streaming. Any of you folks have any idea if this can be achieved?

p2p live streaming is not only "possible", its already exist, it starts 2 years ago from bem.tv (https://github.com/streamroot/bemtv) and moved to streamroot, since it become commercial service there are no github development. Two other commercial service is peer5 and viblast.

if anyone looking for start, https://github.com/streamroot/clappr-p2phls-plugin

@BenjaminLawson Wow, they are doing it. I wonder how they stick the video pieces into one stream?
