--- Comment #4 from yzrh@noema.org ---
It shares the same TURN library with ejabberd. The focus is the current
WebRTC (and other real time communication) applications. As such,
it is easier to configure than coturn -- just change the shared
secret (if behind NAT, supply external address).
Unlike coturn, it does not support any user database (other than a
static user table). Simply because RTC does not make use of any user database,
but ephemeral accounts created with a shared secret.
The short version:
* eturnal is the lightweight solution for a very common use case (real
time communication).
* Erlang means low latency.
* Fewer dependencies (features) than coturn.
* Users won't ask how to enable REST (like
https://github.com/coturn/coturn/issues/1275) :)
