> Sure, in some cases, when the network has fewer announces to deal with, the 2% limit has less effect, the best way Reticulum can deal with this is with a network made out of more specialized node types connecting the lower speed links (http://reticulum.network/manual/interfaces.html#interfaces-m...)

I see. So it seems that optimizing a complex network can be a little more hands-on, not completely automatic (which would be a bit too much to ask, thinking about it). I guess my hypothetical path via outer space would have a "boundary" mode node somewhere on the way, although I am still fuzzy on how exactly this would affect things.

And your point about the announce queue with saturated 2% bandwidth is clear.

Thanks so far! This makes me want to read the rest of the manual and possibly start tinkering with Reticulum myself at some point.

Yeah, exactly what each type of node does gets a bit into the weeds where even I don't really know. You can ask in the Github Forum (https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/discussions) or Matrix Room (https://matrix.to/#/#reticulum:matrix.org) if you need more detailed information :)
