WebRTC scaling test using Linux network namespaces

AI Analysis

MidShip It

Linux namespaces avoid Docker overhead, but jitter kills performance past eight clients.

Strengths
  • Network namespaces isolate peers without heavy Docker container overhead on Linux.
  • Configurable latency and packet loss built into the virtual network layer.
  • Single-machine setup removes need for multiple VMs during local integration testing.
Weaknesses
  • Performance degrades significantly past eight peers, limiting high-scale testing utility.
  • README lacks troubleshooting steps for the jitter or CPU bottleneck diagnostics.
Target Audience

WebRTC developers, Linux engineers

Post Description

Works smoothly for less than 8 peers but it becomes quite jittery with higher numbers
