Yes; vaguely... there was some (string) message format that you could manually stitch together with the right IP and port, etc, and basically tell the browser's WebRTC implementation "other client is on this IP and port". I seem to have deleted this code unfortunately, the only thing I saved is this link:

EDIT:

Aha! I based my code on: https://github.com/js-platform/node-webrtc/blob/develop/exam...

My memory is fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure I did this with WebRTC a while ago. Use RTCPeerConnection in unreliable mode, "peer" with the server, and you should have a UDP-backed SCTP connection. I'll try to dig up my PoCs on this.

Edit: Oh he mentions this, but invalidates it due to the complexity of typical P2P:

> But from a game developer point of view, all this complexity seems like dead weight, when STUN, ICE and TURN are completely completely unnecessary to communicate with dedicated servers, which have public IPs.

I don't remember this being complex (there was some off-the-shelf library for getting a data connection on the server-side), but YMMV.
