Instead of one-to-one connection it implements one-to-many. Theoretically it can significantly reduce costs of self-hosted instances, increasing speed and reliability.

Looks like it works only over IP, which is by design one-to-one. The point of NDN is to get rid of IP connections
@qnick it can work over IP but doesn’t require it. A common use case is over LoRa links which don’t have IP https://reticulum.network/hardware.html
I did a post to bring NDN to the attention of the Reticulum devs https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/discussions/340
This is an interesting alternative to TCP/IP. I’ll need to dig into it a bit to have any real opinions.
Is anyone interested in applying this to fediverse, or is it only me?
Saved for when I start my own instance, thanks
