A relay protocol (RFC 8656) used when direct peer-to-peer connections fail due to symmetric NAT or restrictive firewalls, routing all media through a TURN server instead. TURN is the fallback of last resort in WebRTC's ICE process — more reliable but higher latency and server cost than direct connections. TURN servers typically require authentication to prevent abuse.
