Tarpon

Golang simple, minimalist, secure and fast signalling server using WebSockets.

Its common use case is signalling in WebRTC video conferencing, e.g. establishing sessions between peers, but can also be used to easily add group chat features.

Basics

Room is a group of peers who can communicate with each other by either sending direct messages or broadcasting.

Direct messages can't be read by other peers. Peers need to be registered prior joining the given room.

The whole state is stored in memory, so it gets lost on server restart.

Messages contain id to match associated request/response messages and senderId to securely identify the sender of the given message.

Any sender who sends too many messages will be disconnected by Tarpon. This should prevent simple DOS attacks from malicious senders.
