Is there a mesh network solution with very low bandwidth by design? "by design" meaning that participants of the network aren't able to increase their bandwidth

Is there a mesh network solution with very low bandwidth by design? "by design" meaning that participants of the network aren't able to increase their bandwidth beyond a defined upper limit. I'm thinking of a bandwidth of about 10kbps. The low bandwidth would practically eliminate problems around spamming and cp. The idea is a network that is only useful for exchanging texts/messages and accessing simple text based websites.
- wtallis 11mo agoMeshtastic already fulfills that, except for the bit about accessing simple text-based websites, because Meshtastic isn't an IP network. The data rates only go up to 21.88 kbps for the fastest preset: https://meshtastic.org/docs/overview/radio-settings/#presets https://meshtastic.org/docs/overview/radio-settings/#presets
- raffael_de 11mo agothe idea is that there would be no point in visiting anything else than text based web-sites or use text-based services. or do you mean that it can't be hooked up to the internet due to its lack of IP protocol?
