@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.

@py2toz@mastodon.radio Hmm, I am not sure I follow here. Are you talking about the link layer (L2) protocols for the various transports that IP (L3) sits on top? There are of course a lot of them (starting with SLIP, through Ethernet and ending with complex Wifi and BT protocols). But surely Reticulum (L3) must have that as well. And this list even says so and shows how to implement your own https://markqvist.github.io/Reticulum/manual/whatis.html#interface-types-and-devices Data (L4) you transfer on top are link agnostic (per the ISO/OSI model).
