a couple of questions by a starter developer

[tinchoz49]

Hi everyone! how are you?

I've been playing with this module and start having some questions, I hope you can help me.

1. Is this module the new https://github.com/daviddias/webrtc-explorer ?
2. Can I use this module to do content routing through DHT in WebRTC?

Basically what I want to do is connect WebRTC peers by a content (topic)

Thanks, and if you think that these questions need to go to another place please tell me and I will close the issue.

Eager to receive a response to your query as well!

You can use this module to do DHT routing. However, an important thing to note is that if you are connected to a large network, the DHT queries will be slow because you potentially have to perform a signaling handshake with a large number of peers. Smaller DHTs won't have this problem, as you'll be able to find the target peers/content more quickly.

I'm not overly familiar with https://github.com/daviddias/webrtc-explorer, but it looks like in addition to signaling it also maintains a mesh overlay (finger table). This transport does not do this, as that feature would make more sense as a service on top of libp2p, so that other transport types could potentially participate in the mesh.
