This does not sound terribly different from the original use case for the internet. Are there similar routing algorithms in place ?

- tardedmeme 6mo agoMesh routing beyond the small scale is an unsolved problem.
- sandworm101 6mo agoSimilar, no. The basis of the internet is that each node announces who they are connecting to. Each node is expected to know which messages (packets) they can handle and which they cannot. This works because connections on the internet are stable. Nodes in an unstable ad-hoc mesh network don't know how they are connected, who they can pass messages for. So every node takes every message and repeats it to whatever other nodes are in range. It is a fundamentally different problem.
