In order to achieve our goals of offering a way to reach the edges in a local-first approach, it is necessary that we offer an alternative to the old Erlang Distribution Protocol, because in environments that are really distributed in a fabric that deviates from the basic requirements of a datacenter or public private cloud if requires a protocol that is easily routable over the Internet or over unreliable connections.

I'm inclined to test quic_dist as an alternative to Erlang Distributed, but if anyone has another proposal feel free to present it.

For this to work, it is very important that the alternative protocol chosen is easily pluggable with Elixir and Libcluster.
