This paper takes an in-depth look at the performance of the Janus WebRTC gateway. Janus is a modular, open-source gateway allowing WebRTC clients to seamlessly interact with legacy real-time communication technologies, both standard and proprietary, and with each other. This is achieved by attaching technology-specific plugins on top of a barebones core implementing all of the functions and protocols mandated by the RTCWEB/WebRTC specification suites. The paper focuses on assessing the scalability of the Janus architecture, by selecting three representative use cases, followed by a detailed analysis of a real-world scenario associated with multi-point audio conferencing.
