ICE Scheme:
- Peer A:
{ create offer, set it as local description } -> Send Offer to Peer B
- Peer B:
{ set receiveed offer as remote description create answer set it as local description Send Answer to Peer A }
- Peer A:
{ Set receiveed answer as remote description }

Candidate
-
A CANDIDATE is a transport address -- a combination of IP address and port for a particular transport protocol (with only UDP specified here).
-
If an agent is multihomed, it obtains a candidate from each IP address.
-
The agent uses STUN or TURN to obtain additional candidates. These come in two flavors: translated addresses on the public side of a NAT (SERVER REFLEXIVE CANDIDATES) and addresses on TURN servers (RELAYED CANDIDATES).

- Channel
In the WebRTC framework, communication between the parties consists of media (for example, audio and video) and non-media data.
Non-media data is handled by using the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) [RFC4960] encapsulated in DTLS.

The encapsulation of SCTP over DTLS (see [RFC8261]) over ICE/UDP (see [RFC8445]) provides a NAT traversal solution together with confidentiality, source authentication, and integrity-protected transfers.
The layering of protocols for WebRTC is shown as:
