Unused Data Channel

datachannelbehaviorinboundoutbound

The data channel is open but no data has been exchanged (no bytes sent or received). Verify that your application is sending data as expected, or confirm that the channel is intentionally idle.

Description

There is a DataChannel object that was opened and connected, but for some reason no data has been sent or received on it.

This may or may not be a problem, depending on what you use this data channel for: having a data channel open without sending or receiving data is generally useless or may indicate that something went wrong, preventing the channel from transmitting bytes.

What do we do here?

When a data channel is opened successfully, we look at the total of bytes sent and received to detect if data has been exchanged.
