What is the maximum resource segment size in Reticulum?

Reticulum resources are limited to a maximum efficient segment size of 1,048,575 bytes (approximately 1MB) per advertisement to maintain efficiency.

How is data integrity verified during transfer?

The protocol uses SHA-256 hashing at multiple levels, including 4-byte hashes for individual parts and a full resource hash with a random prefix for final verification.

How does the protocol handle flow control?

It uses an adaptive sliding window mechanism that dynamically adjusts between 2 and 75 parts in flight based on the detected link speed and round-trip time.

What are the common resource states to monitor?

Key states include QUEUED, ADVERTISED, TRANSFERRING, AWAITING_PROOF, and COMPLETE, along with error states like FAILED, CORRUPT, or REJECTED.

Does this skill support data compression?

Yes, it provides guidance on using bz2 compression, which is automatically applied to resources under 64MB when it results in a smaller data size.

API Development

Optimizes large data transfers over Reticulum networks using adaptive windowing, compression, and multi-level integrity checks.

About

This skill provides Claude with deep technical knowledge of the Reticulum Protocol's resource transfer system, enabling the implementation and optimization of reliable data transmission over established links. It covers essential mechanisms including sliding window flow control, bz2 compression, hashmap-based part sequencing, and comprehensive state machine transitions. It is particularly useful for developers building resilient, low-bandwidth networked applications that require efficient file and data segment handling.
