Route Discovery #5

Closed LetDevDev closed 6 years ago

LetDevDev commented 6 years ago

In order to reduce the traffic and load times of network connections, a change will be made to use UTech's network transmission system. This system instead depends on the MAL and Route Discovery to determine where a packet should go, only discovering neighbors at connection time.

This changes the way the underlying tech of GERT operates (These changes will not be reviewed until this integration reaches realization) and may deprecate a lot of lower level GERT tech. This includes the old neighbor discovery and joining networks, and even the MNC would become optional (Devices more than a relay's max hops away or on networks larger than 253 devices would need an updated NC to operate)

Despite the breaking changes, this should NOT be observable in the user space. That is to say, any normal GERT program should operate nearly unaffected by these changes.

Between ICMP and the router program, route discovery for cross-network communication is complete.
