cool! i suppose even with limited metadata with e2ee, you could probably do a quick study to get a sense for how many calls could switch (how many are 2 party, how many aren't behind nats, etc) and maybe even get a sense for how much could be saved in operation costs.

interesting privacy considerations now that i think of it though. p2p would trivially leak the existence of a call between two devices, but i suppose that given the right taps it would be possible to correlate through server streams based on timing data anyhow.

Probably, but it'd be much harder I suppose.
