This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The read-only RTCDataChannel
property maxRetransmits
returns the maximum number of times the browser should try to retransmit a message before giving up, as set when the data channel was created, or null
, which indicates that there is no maximum. This can only be set when the RTCDataChannel
is created by calling RTCPeerConnection.createDataChannel()
, using the maxRetransmits
field in the specified options
.
Syntax
var tries = aDataChannel.maxRetransmits;
Value
The maximum number of times the browser will try to retransmit a message before giving up, or null
if not set when RTCPeerConnection.createDataChannel()
was called. The default is null
.
