Re congestion control You might draft somebody from the remy project (http://web.mit.edu/remy/) to make a presentatation. The point being that machine learning can be used to design domain specific congestion control that substantially outperforms standard algorithms.
As far as I am concerned the big issue is the extent to which the behavior can be guaranteed to be sane when outside of its designed operating region.
