The protocol is designed to handle real-time communications at scale while maintaining low latency and high-quality audio/video performance.\n\nUnlike traditional implementations, DAVE supports a highly diverse environment where users can join the same call from different platforms, such as PlayStation, Xbox, web browsers, and mobile devices, simultaneously. This cross-platform compatibility makes it one of the most extensive E2EE deployments...",
