====== Getting Started ======

This guide is the best starting point for understanding how MOSH is organized and where to go next.

===== What MOSH Is =====

MOSH is a modular smart-home and embedded networking platform built around reusable node behavior, message abstractions, and transport-independent routing.

The system is organized into layers:

  * ''MOSH'' defines smart-home and node behavior
  * ''IMC'' provides carrier and message abstraction between layers
  * ''MTRP'' provides routing and multi-transport packet delivery
  * ''Hardware/Transports'' provide the physical communication paths
