This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The RTCDataChannel.onbufferedamountlow
property is an EventHandler
which specifies a function the browser calls when the bufferedamountlow
event is sent to the RTCDataChannel
. This event, which is represented by a simple Event
object, is sent when the amount of data buffered to be sent falls to or below the threshold specified by the channel's bufferedAmountLowThreshold
.
See Buffering in Using WebRTC data channels to learn more about how to work with the data channel buffer.
Syntax
RTCDataChannel.onbufferedamountlow = function;
Value
A function which the browser will call to handle the bufferedamountlow
event. This function receives as its only input parameter a simple Event
object representing the event which has occurred.
Example
This example responds to the bufferedamountlow
event by fetching up to 64kB of a file represented by an object source
and calling RTCDataChannel.send()
to queue up the retrieved data for sending on the data channel.
pc = new RTCPeerConnection(); dc = pc.createDataChannel("SendFile"); /* ... */ pc.onbufferedamountlow = function() { if (source.position <= source.length) { dc.send(source.readFile(65536)); } }
