RTCPeerConnection.iceGatheringState
The read-only property RTCPeerConnection.iceGatheringState returns a string
that describes the connection's ICE gathering state.
This lets you detect, for example, when collection of ICE candidates has finished.
You can detect when the value of this property changes by watching for an event of type
icegatheringstatechange.
Value
The possible values are:
new-
The peer connection was just created and hasn't done any networking yet.
gathering-
