[Work In Progress] Lorax - reliable communication with broadcast messages #18

lloydroc · 2021-11-26T05:42:20Z

The lorax feature has the following:

The high level interface is called lorax. These goals of this high level interface is to send structured data over Lora that is reliable. This data is reliable from the criteria that we have checksums for the packets that are sent and will retry when messages are not responded to. Here are the details of the lorax interface:

Interaction over sockets uses a message structure similar to the Internet Protocol
The message is processed and converted to a packet that is sent over the air with Lora
For reliability we will retry failed packets we don't get responses for, or have failed checksums
Broadcasts are sent out and neighbors are stored. This allows us to discover who our neighbors are
