Replying to [comment:3 dcf]:
> In Firefox, go to `about:networking#sockets` and see if the open sockets
are listed there. Is it clear what they are used for / related to? I
suppose it can only be ICE related.
I think your intuition here was correct. Calling `close()` for the
PeerConnection terminates ICE and releases these resources:
