@marsik@witter.cz That's a fair point. But as far as I can tell, Reticulum goes a step further by implementing cryptography at the network layer by default. Not to mention the multiple encapsulation every time we traverse different interfaces (LoRa then IP then serial then LoRa again...)
So it's a matter of taste and use cases, as always (hence the "something similar" in my original post).

@py2toz@mastodon.radio Yep, it is a matter of taste and a specific use case. Reticulum also uses encapsulation, how else would it go through all the various underlying protocols like LoRa or Wifi. IP is rather heavy (even though lwIP exists) and the existing routing protocols are tailored towards faster links with higher MTUs. But the cryptography address and no record of packet sender that Reticulum uses are interesting concepts for sure.
