The SqueezeNetwork is meant to be a SlimServer-in-the-sky and speaks Slimproto (the same protocol as your local SlimServer). We're continuing to optimize the protocol to make it less chatty. As the network grows, we may also have Points of Presence (POPs) in various locations to improve roundtrip speed. > > 5.
