# What browsers it is supported in.
I think we want to use reliable (TCP) "RTCDataChannels"; their API is
extremely similar to WebSockets. The support for this part of the WebRTC
spec is still very new; most people are using the audio/video UDP APIs
instead.
Chrome only supports RTCDataChannels using RDP (which is UDP plus headers)
at the moment. Firefox *does* support reliable RTCDataChannels in Firefox
Nightly, behind a flag. Firefox and Chrome RTCDataChannels aren't
interoperable, but that's okay for us because the Flashproxy design never
has one browser's socket talking to another browser's socket.
So I think the short answer is that we could start implementing in Firefox
now, with the expectation that one day the same code will work in Chrome.
