multiple connections and/or persist connection init info?

I tested this out, looks pretty useful. I wonder how hard the 2 things I mentioned in the title would be to achieve[they may be impossible, input please]?

to clarify:

  1. what would be some paths of least resistance to having more than 2 people connected together? Would it even be possible for more than one person to use the same session-init-credentials? or would that cause interference?

  2. after a successful 'handshake'/session-init, is there any chance some credentials could be persisted - so that the next time the html was fired up, a connection can happen more automatically?

  1. Unfortunately I think big groups are infeasible as everyone has to send/receive every video stream individually to every other member, and connections+bandwidth will go up linearly with O(n). instead of being O(1) with a central server that mirrors all the video back out over one-connection-per-peer.
  2. Not that I know of, because you have to re-advertise the ip and port combos that are available on each connection, if either client moved to a new network the old connection handshake would be useless.
