In short, the caller places a x-opaque line in SDP for each m= section that
uses datagram transport. If the answerer supports datagram transport, it will
parse this line and create a datagram transport. It will then echo the x-opaque
line into the answer (to indicate that it accepted use of datagram transport).
If the offer and answer contain exactly the same x-opaque line, both peers will
use datagram transport. If the x-opaque line is omitted from the answer (or is
different in the answer) they will fall back to RTP.
Note that a different x-opaque line in the answer means the answerer did not
understand something in the negotiation proto. Since WebRTC cannot know what
was misunderstood, or whether it's still possible to use the datagram transport,
it must fall back to RTP. This may change in the future, possibly by passing
the answer to the datagram transport, but it's good enough for now.
Negotiation consists of four parts:
1. DatagramTransport exposes transport parameters for both client and server
perspectives. The client just echoes what it received from the server (modulo
any fields it might not have understood).
2. SDP adds a x-opaque line for opaque transport parameters. Identical to
x-mt, but this is specific to datagram transport and goes in each m= section,
and appears in the answer as well as the offer.
- This is propagated to Jsep as part of the TransportDescription.
- SDP files: transport_description.h,cc, transport_description_factory.h,cc,
media_session.cc, webrtc_sdp.cc
3. JsepTransport/Controller:
- Exposes opaque parameters for each mid (m= section). On offerer, this means
pre-allocating a datagram transport and getting its parameters. On the
answerer, this means echoing the offerer's parameters.
- Uses a composite RTP transport to receive from either default RTP or
datagram transport until both offer and answer arrive.
- If a provisional answer arrives, sets the composite to send on the
provisionally selected transport.
- Once both offer and answer are set, deletes the unneeded transports and
keeps whichever transport is selected.
4. PeerConnection pulls transport parameters out of Jsep and adds them to SDP.

How to write code in the api/ directory
Mostly, just follow the regular style guide, but:
- Note that
api/code is not exempt from the “.hand.ccfiles come in pairs” rule, so if you declare something inapi/path/to/foo.h, it should be defined inapi/path/to/foo.cc. - Headers in
api/should, if possible, not#includeheaders outsideapi/. It’s not always possible to avoid this, but be aware that it adds to a small mountain of technical debt that we’re trying to shrink. .ccfiles inapi/, on the other hand, are free to#includeheaders outsideapi/.
That is, the preferred way for api/ code to access non-api/ code is to call
it from a .cc file, so that users of our API headers won’t transitively
#include non-public headers.
For headers in api/ that need to refer to non-public types, forward
declarations are often a lesser evil than including non-public header files. The
usual rules still apply, though.
.cc files in api/ should preferably be kept reasonably small. If a
substantial implementation is needed, consider putting it with our non-public
code, and just call it from the api/ .cc file.
