Reticulum is absolutely not flood routed and is not "LoRa-based" lmao. Typical hn comment.

Planetary-scale networks is mentioned as a design goal on the first page of the docs https://reticulum.network/ which are hidden at the very top of the git repo.

Okay, maybe Reticulum isn’t strictly LoRa-based, but others are (e.g. Meshtastic), and while Reticulum works over lots of physical layers, the README specifically states “An open-source LoRa-based interface called RNode has been designed specifically for use with Reticulum.”

Design goals are great. How do they actually achieve it?

[drob518]

Exactly. Okay, that’s a great claim. How? Also, “planetary scale” is meaningless. With the right node count (low), topology, and radios, just about any mesh network can achieve “planetary scale.” But that doesn’t mean it’ll support 10 thousand users, never mind millions. There are underlying technical reasons that the Internet works the way it does.

Not with flood routing.
