OpenSim Requirements
Félix (Chaser.Zaks) on the Second Life Discord channel on 17-Mar-2024 said: “Server side shouldn’t be too complicated. You should just need a ICE and TURN server (see definition). ICE being the server that helps establish connections between two clients, and the TURN server being the relay between two clients The TURN would probably have some HTTP caps on it to do area isolations, LSL interfacing, etc and what not from the simulator side.”
