It wraps the protocol logic in asyncio, Python's standard asynchronous I/O framework, making it suitable for applications that need to negotiate and maintain UDP data streams between peers\u2014most commonly WebRTC and SIP applications.\n\nThe library handles the full ICE workflow: gathering local network candidates, exchanging candidate information with a remote peer via your own signaling channel, performing the ICE handshake to select the best working candidate pair, and then sending and receiving data over the established connection. It abstracts away the complexity of NAT traversal, STUN/TURN server interaction, and candidate prioritization, leaving you to focus on your application's signaling and data handling logic.","worth_installing":"Yes. aioice is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with minimal friction, and is the standard choice for ICE protocol support in Python asyncio applications. Use it if you are building WebRTC, SIP, or any peer-to-peer UDP application that needs NAT traversal; skip it if your use case does not require ICE or if you are not using asyncio."},"id":"aioice","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aioice","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aioice.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aioice/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-11-28","license_spdx":"BSD-3-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aioice","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An implementation of Interactive Connectivity Establishment (RFC 5245)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2037028,"position":3349,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.10.2"}
