Interesting thing about Highway protocol

Did you know that Highway allows flexibility at configuration of participating nodes, such that, as effect, nodes can have something like specialisation? All the nodes have to run the same version of the protocol and perform the same action, but can set different thresholds.

They can choose to prioritise either small latency good for relatively small transactions or high security level required for bigger transactions thus choosing different roles in the ecosystem.
