We are planning to host WebRTC on premises servers , I went through the documentation of the WebRTC, and need to know:

-Whether these servers can be just services on the same server or a dedicated physical servers?

-The hardware specs for these servers for 10 agents with quality 720p?

    STUN uses very little resources at all; *TURN* is the heavy hitter. – deceze Mar 07 '17 at 13:09

    so what is the recommended specs for STUN server for 10 agents with quality 720p ? – Hassan Abdallah Mar 07 '17 at 13:53
  • For ***STUN*** a nano AWS EC2 instance will do just fine… But again: do you really mean *STUN*?! – deceze Mar 07 '17 at 13:54
  • yes i mean STUN server, but we need to make it on-premises not on cloud so the question again: what is recommended specs for this server? – Hassan Abdallah Mar 07 '17 at 14:40

    If you mean STUN server than mentioning "720p" is irrelevant. How often to you expect to have to establish a connection? With 10 agents probably not more often than once a minute or so. For that virtually any box at all will do. AWS EC2 nano instances are something like single-core 512MB RAM machines, which will do just fine in this scenario. – deceze Mar 07 '17 at 14:50

    ok good this specs for STUN server , what about the Media server specs in this case? – Hassan Abdallah Mar 07 '17 at 15:05

STUN server is used to get your peer's external IP and local IP. It doesn't relay the media. So your video quality doesn't matter here.

There are plenty of public STUN server around the world including google stun for free. If you wanna host a STUN server then a micro AWS server should do the job.

Your video quality matters if you relay the media using TURN. Since TURN server takes a lot of bandwidth in carrying your video stream to it connecting peers.

    so if i need to make a web rtc on-premises which devices i'll need it like (servers or any other devices) to implement it on-premises – Hassan Abdallah Mar 08 '17 at 12:59
  • You don't need any extra devices for webRTC server to work. If you want a complete webRTC media server and client. You can try `Kurento` http://doc-kurento.readthedocs.io/en/stable/what_is_kurento.html.
