Mesh and identities

Each node has a Reticulum identity. The gateway stores identity, peers, routes, and radio settings in SQLite. MAVLink uses a text identity seed file.

• Packets route by cryptographic destination, not by IP or MAC.
• Links are established after announces; path-request behaviour is inside Transport.
• The gateway embeds the Reticulum transport and persists its own identity.

Peer policy

For controlled deployments, set allow_all_peers = false and list the authorised destination hashes. Manage peer changes through the gateway configuration.
