based upon invoices, right?
Yes, absolutely. I get this. :)
I'm not sure exactly how they could be routing 0 sat messages
This is exactly why I'm assuming they are using some other tech, unrelated to LN, in order to achieve the 15-sat per call number (presumably after using LN to establish the "cryptographically secure data transmission channels"). We're on the same page.
don't claim to know how impervious is doing things
I'm looking for somebody, to guess at how they are doing it. The solution space feels small enough, and this community smart enough, such that we might get a near definitive answer via process of elimination.
Because...
video call = identity + handshake + video transmission
And, using LN, and the 15-sats, makes sense for handshake part but not so much the video transmission part. What tech are they using for the video transmission part?
If you don't know, or don't care to wager a guess...that's cool, maybe somebody else on SN could provide an educated guess. Or maybe, the Impervious team might even be lurking.

The video transmission is most likely WebRTC. I would be surprised if they use different protocol.

Do you know if the WebRTC transmission traffic would need to run ontop of LN? Apologies if this is a dumb question.
I read wikipedia, and it's talking about two other protocols (SCTP over DTLS) for transmission, that I don't know/understand...it doesn't sound like it would need LN, after the initial handshake.
