#NASA hoped to create an internet between planets. The delay-tolerant protocol that NASA could only dream of, one developer actually built.

What Reticulum gets right, and what classical DTN sometimes gets wrong, is proportionality.
The Bundle Protocol is exhaustive. Implementing BPv7 correctly is a substantial engineering undertaking, and the resulting systems are heavy.
#Reticulum is lean and runs comfortably on hardware that would struggle with a full Bundle Protocol stack.
Reticulum achieves DTN-class resilience at a fraction of the operational weight, it doesn't require a sysadmin, and it can run on cheap parts, even when the internet is down.
