<p><strong>ICE trickling</strong> is the process of continuing to send candidates after the initial offer or answer has already been sent to the other peer.</p>

<p>This property is only set after having called {{domxref("RTCPeerConnection.setRemoteDescription()")}}.  Ideally, your signaling protocol provides a way to detect trickling support, so that you don't need to rely on this property. A WebRTC browser will always support trickle ICE. If trickling isn't supported, or you aren't able to tell, you can check for a falsy value for this property and then wait until the value of {{domxref("RTCPeerConnection.iceGatheringState", "iceGatheringState")}} changes to <code>"completed"</code> before creating and sending the initial offer. That way, the offer contains all of the candidates.</p>

<h2 id="Syntax">Syntax</h2>

<pre class="syntaxbox notranslate"> var <em>canTrickle</em> = <em>RTCPeerConnection</em>.canTrickleIceCandidates;</pre>

<h3 id="Value">Value</h3>

<p>A {{jsxref("Boolean")}} that is <code>true</code> if the remote peer can accept trickled ICE candidates and <code>false</code> if it cannot. If no remote peer has been established, this value is <code>null</code>.</p>

<div class="note">
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This property's value is determined once the local peer has called {{domxref("RTCPeerConnection.setRemoteDescription()")}}; the provided description is used by the ICE agent to determine whether or not the remote peer supports trickled ICE candidates.</p>
</div>

<pre class="brush: js notranslate">var pc = new RTCPeerConnection();
// The following code might be used to handle an offer from a peer when
// it isn't known whether it supports trickle ICE.
pc.setRemoteDescription(remoteOffer)
  .then(_ =&gt; pc.createAnswer())
