This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes.
The read-only property RTCDataChannel.protocol returns a DOMString containing the name of the subprotocol in use. If none, it returns "".
Syntax
var subProtocol = dataChannel.protocol;
Example
var pc = new RTCPeerConnection();
var dc = pc.createDataChannel("my channel");
console.log("Channel subprotocol: " + dc.protocol);
