Sadly no, but I don't think there's much of a ping difference on a good network. With WebRTC (datachannels in UDP mode) you just get the benefits of UDP (or lack thereof :)).

I see.

I had the impression UDP would lower the average ping, because you wouldn't have to wait on lost packages like with TCP.
