Why not work towards a decentralized model instead, webrtc is a good start.

webrtc is a fairly bad start because it cannot establish connections to known endpoints (think address:port) or speak multicast for local neighbor discovery in a p2p network.
it generally relies on a signalling server or at a minimum on an exchange of one-time session tokens the user could enter for each connection.
it's not distributed and barely decentralized. it's more geared around a client-server approach where some of the traffic is offloaded to peer-peer connections.
compared to protocols like tcp and udp it's incredibly crippled
