It doesn't surprise me. This is a deep networking problem and very few CS people know anything about networking or how to design clean, fast, low-overhead network protocols and systems.
If IP were designed today the packets would have 500+ bytes of plain text JSON as headers and the spec would support hundreds of extensions.
Is there a better designed mesh project like those two getting built that you know of? Reticulum?
It's a fundamentally really hard problem that looks easy on the surface. There is no solution that works well beyond the small scale. Many people have tried. It's the same kind of thing that draws people to try to write IPv8.
Yeah, openmanet with reticulum seems the most “professional” right now
Heh nice, I have 4 openmanet nodes on HaLow right now
Have you seen that IPvwhatever proposal from a handful of weeks back that has OAuth/OIDC in packet spec
7 OSI layers were too many. What if we ONE BOG ONE!
