Description
We have been discussing recently what new protocols for discovery and transport we should aim to support in the near future.
The purpose of this issue is to discuss what are the possible protocols, its advantages according to the ones we currently support, offline-first capabilities as well as their compatibility with devices / types of nodes that we have.
We have been discussing some protocols so far, like bluetooth, audio-frequency, among others, and we have several other ones that we never discussed, such as infrared.
