Back of the envelope calculations: mediasoup

Using mediasoup in BigBlueButton 2.4

1. Set the correct IPv4 for mediasoup:
   • Let $SERVER_IPv4 be your server's public IPv4
   • yq w -i /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-webrtc-sfu/production.yml mediasoup.webrtc.listenIps[0].ip "0.0.0.0"
   • yq w -i /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-webrtc-sfu/production.yml mediasoup.webrtc.listenIps[0].announcedIp $SERVER_IPv4
   • yq w -i /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-webrtc-sfu/production.yml mediasoup.plainRtp.listenIp.ip "0.0.0.0"
   • yq w -i /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-webrtc-sfu/production.yml mediasoup.plainRtp.listenIp.announcedIp $SERVER_IPv4
2. If you wish to enable IPv6 in mediasoup (otherwise skip to step 3):
   • Let $SERVER_IPv6 be your server's IPv6
   • yq w -i /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-webrtc-sfu/production.yml mediasoup.webrtc.listenIps[1].ip $SERVER_IPv6
3. Follow https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/pull/13112 to control mediasoup usage per meeting (metadata) or server (settings.yml) and then sudo bbb-conf --restart
   • If you're going to use mediasoup server wide, we recommend running the following command as an optional optimization:
     • yq w -i /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml public.kurento.signalCandidates false
