Sure. We already have TCP/IP plugins, they just don't do capsnego across
network yet. This should be easy to implement, though.

The things, which comes across in my mind is discovery of the various =
plugins in the network, Classifying them and finding out whether they =
are available or not at any particular instance. I am not sure, how =
difficult or easy this is.

Sure, but you're being very general. My guinea pig could make that
choice too, if you understand what I mean. What are you aiming at
exactly?

My point is on what basis are you going to make a decision to get the =
best quality of service... number of hops, efficieny of plugin ( how =
will you make a decision on efficieny ?) etc

Note that we don't actually do QoS yet, although it's planned to be
worked on some day. I've got some ideas on it, I just don't have time
right now. Or rather, QoS is not a priority for me right now.
