Jan 7, 2016 call has discussed several direction for future features. These include:

• Performance optimizations

  Primary target scenario: big data science

  • Understanding bottlenecks and planning on how to improve

    • table lookup
    • repo
    • congestion control
    • performance measurements of current code

  • white-box measurements of individual components

  • analysis of components, depending on traffic pattern

• Expand (actively) supported platforms

  Mobile and embedded devices, such as home router (WRT), mobile phones

• Strategy / forwarding related improvements

  Need to think how to make it more powerful / flexible

  one strategy (per router) that takes input from routing annotations

  How strategy makes decision, it is still up to the strategy (whether
  or not to probe, take or not input from routing, take or not and how
  input from data place, etc.). This is not something that routing
  annotations can help.

• Link-level loss detection + recovery

  this feature can affect strategy (or effect may not be much)

• Hop-by-hop congestion control

  • how it can work in overlay network
  • how to know bandwidth to use to control interest budget
