For the reference, this is a topic under discussion.
See https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc/issues/2012 for more information.

We recently enabled MDNS ICE candidates by default in WebKit ToT.
This should enable Safari <-> Safari connections in networks supporting MDNS.
@szimek, would that help?

WebKit <-> Chrome or WebKit <-> Native app should work in most cases as Chrome/native apps provide host ICE candidates.
