@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.

@marsik@witter.cz Sorry, I meant that IP would require different software independently implemented from each other for encapsulation, whereas Reticulum bridges a number of interfaces with encapsulation implemented within a single, opinionated framework. Still a good fall back.
