Re: [webrtc-pc] TURN servers running over webtransport (#2651)

@unicomp21 Not sure what use case you are contemplating, but this doesn't seem like a WebRTC issue (although it might relate to the WebTransport API or protocol). 

WebTransport is a client/server API, not a P2P API like [WebRTC-QUIC](https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-quic).  As a result, WebTransport is not designed to handle NAT traversal; the server is assumed to have a globally reachable IP address.  So as to be able to handle use cases where UDP and QUIC might be blocked,  addition to running over HTTP/3, WebTransport API is also contemplating support for HTTP/2 failover.  

Assuming that HTTP/2 failover support is added, the WebTransport API should be usable for both consumers and enterprise users.  Exception might be enterprises which block UDP and most TCP, except for HTTP versions < 2.  That could be addressed by TURN over TCP/TLS and wouldn't be helped by TURN over WebTransport. 

You might want to attend the [IETF WebTransport WG meeting on May 20](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/agenda-interim-2021-webtrans-02-webtrans-01/).
