Yeah, I got the impression that Reticulum's main claim is that it replaces the IP stack with a future-proof, encrypted protocol for routing regardless of the underlying network medium. Which is not an insigificant claim to test, but boy would it be fantastic.

Would say your understanding is correct. It uses something similar to a "gossip" protocol where the public keys of other users are advertised.

So it gets ride of IP addresses and can jump boundaries between different network types. I'm using it for BLE to BLE communication, I've seen videos of people using it for USB to USB communication. There aren't many limitations as long as data can flow.

How would that work? Do you have a link?

Was trying to find it but hard. Reticulum only needs some kind of way for bytes to move from one point to another. So USB with the serial data line works as well.

On the video was using for an embedded device without WiFi nor Bluetooth to communicate with the host computer where it was connected.
