So for example it could replace the fairly baroque SIP signalling protocol but not the RTP that carries the audio. It could replace the TCP based game updates for Minecraft but not the clock based one-way fire and forget UDP of a FP Shooter.

How about something like a remote file system?

It does help, makes it clear its a pretty general tech. What's the theory for where its supposed to be applied? Like, if it were mature and fully usable right now, what would be a decent example application you'd expect someone to want to build with it?

At a high level. What is OCapN?

Every time I hear about this stuff its at too low of a level. What sorts of things is it supposed to enable?
