📖 Start Here — MeshCore Guide
MeshCore is a path-routing LoRa mesh platform optimized for community networks. MeshCore floods to discover a route, then switches to direct routing for unicast (one-to-one) traffic, reducing overhead for repeat messages; group and channel traffic still floods. It also supports room servers for persistent messaging.
