Peer to peer live webcam streaming using WebRTC and peer.js - Does video streaming data pass through the peer server? Bandwidth limit?

Peer to peer live webcam streaming using WebRTC and peer.js -

Does live webcam streaming data pass through the peer server? Bandwidth limit? My friend is doing a project like this. He created a peer server himself using node.js. He found out that the peer to peer webcam streaming data pass through the peer server. If person A and B needs to do webcam video chat using browsers, then A and B's webcam video data will pass through a peer server. The bandwidth of a peer server will be about 10 Mbps for uploading video, and about 50 Mbps for downloading video. Each video/audio stream needs 1Mbps bandwidth. It means, a peer server (a computer) can only host at most 5-6 persons to do webcam video chat at the same time. Is that true?
