1165140 - We need code that sanity-checks and diagnoses problems in a PeerConnection

Status: NEW

(Core :: WebRTC, defect, P3)

Description

[Byron Campen [:bwc]]

Such a thing would make it a little easier to write unit-tests. If exposed to JS, it would be a very useful enhancement to mochitests (or any other automated browser test), and would allow the developers of webrtc services to diagnose problems much more effectively. If exposed on about:webrtc, it would allow users/testers to give us much better bug reports.

I've thought about basing this on the stats API, but the downside to that is that it would not be usable in unit-tests, and would require lots more work since we want to be able to dig very deep into the internal state of things like the ICE stack, pipeline code, conduit code, etc. However, any diagnostics we put in place could be exposed via the stats API as needed.
