WTFast Headend Multi Path Packet Race & WebRTC

Every packet is sent twice over independent paths, and the receiver uses whichever arrives first. A packet that is lost, or that arrives too late to be used, is covered by its twin. We injected 10% packet loss into a live Google Meet call and a live Counter-Strike 2 session and measured what each application actually received. Nothing was installed on the subscriber's device.

WTFast Multi Path Demo

We ran a live CS2 session on WTFast Multi Path and deliberately destroyed its traffic — escalating packet loss and added delay, injected right at the PC.
