A great series for you to read.

tl;dr

Udp is good. client to client sessions are terrible over the internet.

The P2P case this article discusses is "peer-to-peer lockstep", which is only a small subset of possible p2p systems.

(it's called peer-to-peer instead of client-to-client, because there is no client role in such a system).

A nice.

Didn't know that. But makes sense.

In the WebRTC case, the server could simply be a "peer" too :)
