Nice update! What routers are you using in your homelab to run OSPF? I also run OSPF on my home network.

The IPv6 over reticulum stuff is also interesting. I’ve been playing around with meshtastic for a while but want to experiment more with reticulum. It seems a lot more flexible than meshtastic.

Mikrotik Routerboards.

And yes Reticulum is much more flexible.

Nice. I’m using a couple of MikroTik 5009s for mine. Apart from some of the firmware bugs, the MikroTik routers have a great set of features for the price.

I’ve just flashed a couple of LilyGo LoRa32s with the RNode firmware but now have to figure how it works.

RouterOS is great. I have also toyed around with OpenWRT quite a bit - it's probably the most extensive! (Some Mikrotik hardware supports it)

I still think Reticulum should try to interoperate with Meshtastic or even allow its stack to ride atop Meshtastic. Just because that would greatly expand its reach.

I prefer they remain seperate. It's an area of research and two competing open source technologies is good.

Routing can be done in many ways, if we do what you say that would tie us to one routing protocol - that is not good for research imho

No, I wasn't saying use only their routing. I'm saying use multiple ways. One might say it can be agnostic to the underlying connectivity provider.
