How much work would it be if you left out stream stuff? If we have
packet-based transports, plugins should be able to handle the
transformation to and from TCP, so first doing only packet-based
transports would give the capabilities to do more.

We could simulate full traffic profiles: capture the traffic between
applications, then fake it. Video telephony, static noise on a mumble
chat (using an intermediate server for spreading it), bunny cams. Even
simply sending emails with attachments. That increases latency and
decreases throughput a lot, but that’s something Freenet can already
cope with to some degree: The bandwidth of nodes already varies over
several orders of magnitude.

And it’s not like the proposal is new. But it needs core support
⇒ transport plugins

I don’t intend to say “toad should do this over summer”, just “please
don’t discard it prematurely”.

Best wishes,
Arne
