It would be very useful to be able to perform packet inspection in mochitest, to verify things like RTP/RTCP, DTLS handshake, ICE stuff, etc. It would also make it possible to log packet dumps automatically when a failure occurs, making debugging easier.

Out of curiosity: what is this changed needed for?

I'm a little concerned that we are locking now twice on every send and received packet in here.
The default use case for 99% of our PeerConnection is going to never touch this and skip over. Thus I would feel better if we had some early exit criteria like a bool, which gets flipped on the very first call to EnablePacketDump().

PacketDumper (really, PeerConnectionWrapper) gets asserty when it can't find the PC. I'm using an empty handle to indicate there is no PC, and to disable the packet dump functionality.

Well, it is just one lock (since we do not dispatch if the first check fails), with no contention. Last I checked, that would not impose a detectable performance penalty for something like network packets. But an atomic bool would be a simple optimization.
