“Reticulum does away with the idea of addresses and ports known from IP, TCP and UDP. Instead Reticulum uses the singular concept of destinations. Any application using Reticulum as its networking stack will need to create one or more destinations to receive data, and know the destinations it needs to send data to.

All destinations in Reticulum are _represented_ as a 16 byte hash. This hash is derived from truncating a full SHA-256 hash of identifying characteristics of the destination.”
