SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a guided understanding of Reticulum's Resource transfer system for large data. It helps engineers design, implement, or reason about resource transfers over links, including windowing, segmentation, and hashing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Efficient large-data transfers: handle resources that exceed single-link capacities by segmenting data and coordinating hashes.
  • Window-based flow control: dynamically adjust in-flight parts based on link conditions to optimize throughput.
  • Integrity and metadata: per-part hashes and end-to-end verification, with optional compression and metadata support for file transfers.

Quick Start

To start, read the resource transfer overview to understand how Resources move data across Reticulum links.

FAQPage Schema
How do I transfer large data files over Reticulum links?

Reticulum's Resource system handles large-data transfers by segmenting data into parts, coordinating hashes for integrity, and using window-based flow control to optimize throughput across links that cannot carry the full payload at once.

What is windowing and segmentation in Reticulum resource transfers?

Windowing dynamically adjusts the number of in-flight data segments based on link conditions, while segmentation breaks large resources into smaller parts. Together they enable efficient, adaptive data flow and prevent link saturation.

How does Reticulum verify data integrity during large transfers?

Resources use per-part hashes and end-to-end verification to ensure data integrity. Optional compression and metadata support enable file transfers with full validation across the entire payload.

When should I use Reticulum's Resource transfer system?

Use Resources when transferring data that exceeds single-link capacity, requiring reliable segmentation, adaptive flow control, and integrity checks across Reticulum networks.

Can I compress data during Reticulum resource transfers?

Yes, Reticulum Resources support optional compression alongside per-part hashing and metadata, allowing optimized transfers with integrity verification and file-transfer metadata.
