// This header file provides wrapper for common WebRTC utilities.
// Different application may need different implementations of these utilities,
// Moreover, single application may need to use WebRTC for multiple purposes,
// and thus would need to provide different utilities implementations for
// different peer connections.
// The main purpose of the `Environment` class below is to propagate references
// to those utilities to all WebRTC classes that need them.
