The long term goal would be to make the two networks compatible + with each other and on the way learn from the respectively other network + and apply the learnings to the respective on network. + But it became soon clear that this was too ambitious for the short term + and the short term goal was simplified to make libp2p a communicator for + transport without loosing the perspective of integrating the two networks + further in the future. + </t> + <t> + </t> + </section> <section anchor="security" numbered="true" toc="default"> <name>Security and Privacy Considerations</name> <section anchor="security_kem" numbered="true" toc="default">
