The congestionControl read-only property of the WebTransport interface indicates the application's preference for either high throughput or low-latency when sending data.
The value is set in the WebTransport() constructor options.
A string with one of the following values:
defaultThe default congestion control tuning for the transport. This is the default.
throughputThe application prefers congestion control to be tuned for throughput.
low-latencyThe application prefers congestion control to be tuned for low-latency.
This example shows how to get the congestionControl preference. As this is not explicitly set in the constructor, the result is default.
const url = "https://example.com:4999/wt"; const transport = new WebTransport(url); console.log(transport.congestionControl); // default
