Hi I have questions about WebRTC.

I would like create one-to-many (1:N) connection with MCU server (because stream from source is too big (CPU,bandwidth...)), but I don't know how can I do that, exists some project for this? I found only EasyRTC, Licode etc. but I guess that is just for videoconferencing (many-to-many). Thank you very much

Try WebRTC one-way broadcasting and one-to-many broadcasting experiments. Source codes are available as well.

In peer-to-peer scenario; max limit for peer connections per single chrome instance (tab/window) is 256.

Obviously, there will be huge bandwidth/CPU usage when number of peer connections increases.

A simple solution can be peer-to-server model (peer-to-media server-to-all other peers).
