|
||
<p>Reticulum supports using many kinds of devices as networking interfaces, and
|
||
allows you to mix and match them in any way you choose. The number of distinct
|
||
network topologies you can create with Reticulum is more or less endless, but
|
||
common to them all is that you will need to define one or more <em>interfaces</em>
|
||
for Reticulum to use.</p>
|
||
<p>The following sections describe the interfaces currently available in Reticulum,
|
||
and gives example configurations for the respective interface types.</p>
|
||
<p>For a high-level overview of how networks can be formed over different interface
|
||
types, have a look at the <a class="reference internal" href="networks.html#networks-main"><span class="std std-ref">Building Networks</span></a> chapter of this
|
||
manual.</p>

||
<div class="section" id="auto-interface">
|
||
<span id="interfaces-auto"></span><h2>Auto Interface<a class="headerlink" href="#auto-interface" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>The Auto Interface enables communication with other discoverable Reticulum
|
||
nodes over autoconfigured IPv6 and UDP. It does not need any functional IP
|
||
infrastructure like routers or DHCP servers, but will require at least some
|
||
sort of switching medium between peers (a wired switch, a hub, a WiFi access
|
||
point or similar), and that link-local IPv6 is enabled in your operating
|
||
system, which should be enabled by default in almost all OSes.</p>

<p>If you are connected to the Internet with IPv6, and your provider will route

|

<p>A UDP interface can be useful for communicating over IP networks, both

private and the internet. It can also allow broadcast communication

over IP networks, so it can provide an easy way to enable connectivity

with all other peers on a local area network.</p>

<p><em>Please Note!</em> Using broadcast UDP traffic has performance implications,

<p>Reticulum can be used over serial ports directly, or over any device with a

directly over a wire-pair, or for using devices such as data radios and lasers.</p>

|
||
<p>If you’re using Reticulum on amateur radio spectrum, you might want to
|
||
use the AX.25 KISS interface. This way, Reticulum will automatically
|
||
encapsulate it’s traffic in AX.25 and also identify your stations
|
||
transmissions with your callsign and SSID.</p>
|
||
<p>Only do this if you really need to! Reticulum doesn’t need the AX.25
|
||
layer for anything, and it incurs extra overhead on every packet to
|
||
encapsulate in AX.25.</p>
|
||
<p>A more efficient way is to use the plain KISS interface with the
|
||
beaconing functionality described above.</p>
