I agree it is a different case but given the JS has no good way to know the current state of the congestion controller, it often turns out this is a better approach. Without it is is hard to decide what bitrate you want to assign to each track as you don't know the total available bandwidth.

If the SFU is makeing the decisiong on what is important, then the best option is much differnt than if the JS in the browser is making the decision. Lots of SFU do use SDP to controls this thought I would not suggest that the client JS munging SDP was a good approach to this.

Uh, setting the b= lines in SDP would do this. Am I missing why this does not work ?
