Re: [webrtc-stats] Is exposing a remote peer IP address through RTCIceCandidateStats.address a privacy issue

It's definitely useful for call debugging, i.e. what was the media path for this call? What quality level were previous calls on this same media path?

prflx doesn't mean that the STUN sender hasn't disclosed its IP. It can happen even when the STUN sender disclosed its IP because its NAT behavior included endpoint-dependent mapping.

e.g.

local addr is 192.162.1.2 (host)
STUN addr is 1.2.3.4:5000 (srflx)
STUN checks to remote peer come from 1.2.3.4:5001
1.2.3.4:5001 is reported as a prflx candidate, despite the fact that 1.2.3.4 has already been communicated in signaling
