 Once WebRTC for browser-to-server is complete, we can begin work on **browser-to-browser** and complete the WebRTC connectivity story.
 We need to improve rust-libp2p's WASM story first.

-Short term, investing into rust-libp2p's QUIC support will likely give us a larger performance win,
-thus neither of the two optimizations is planned for 2022. While great to have, it has not been
-requested from any rust-libp2p users.
-
-Long term, given that this will give us a great performance gain, we should definitely tackle it. It
-also allows us to catch up and thus be consistent with go-libp2p.
