Creating a Network With Reticulum
=============================================
To create a network, you will need to specify one or more *interfaces* for
Reticulum to use. This is done in the Reticulum configuration file, which by
default is located at ``~/.reticulum/config``.
When Reticulum is started for the first time, it will create a default
configuration file, with one active interface. This default interface uses
your existing ethernet network (if there is one), and only allows you to
communicate with other Reticulum peers within your local broadcast domain.
To communicate further, you will have to add one or more interfaces. The default
configuration includes a number of examples, ranging from using TCP over the
internet, to LoRa and Packet Radio interfaces.
Possibly, the examples in the config file are enough to gen you started. If
you want more information, you can read the :ref:`Interfaces<interfaces-main>`
chapter of this manual.

Reticulum allows you to build very wide-area networks with off-the-shelf tools, and offers end-to-end encryption, autoconfiguring cryptographically backed multi-hop transport, efficient addressing, unforgeable packet acknowledgements and more. Reticulum allows you to build very wide-area networks with off-the-shelf tools, and offers end-to-end encryption, autoconfiguring cryptographically backed multi-hop transport, efficient addressing, unforgeable packet acknowledgements and more.
Reticulum is a complete networking stack, and does not use IP or higher layers, although it is easy to utilise IP (with TCP or UDP) as the underlying carrier for Reticulum. It is therefore trivial to tunnel Reticulum over the Internet or private IP networks. Reticulum is built directly on cryptographic principles, allowing resilience and stable functionality in open and trustless networks.

Creating a Network With Reticulum
=============================================
To create a network, you will need to specify one or more *interfaces* for
Reticulum to use. This is done in the Reticulum configuration file, which by
default is located at ``~/.reticulum/config``.
When Reticulum is started for the first time, it will create a default
configuration file, with one active interface. This default interface uses
your existing ethernet network (if there is one), and only allows you to
communicate with other Reticulum peers within your local broadcast domain.
To communicate further, you will have to add one or more interfaces. The default
configuration includes a number of examples, ranging from using TCP over the
internet, to LoRa and Packet Radio interfaces.
Possibly, the examples in the config file are enough to gen you started. If
you want more information, you can read the :ref:`Interfaces<interfaces-main>`
chapter of this manual.
