====== MTRP ======

===== 1. Purpose =====

MTRP is a lightweight multi-transport routing protocol intended for resource-constrained embedded systems and MOSH-class nodes.

===== 2. Design Objectives =====

MTRP is designed to:

  * provide a common routing layer across heterogeneous transports
  * support direct-neighbor and multi-hop forwarding behavior
  * operate within constrained RAM and flash budgets
  * favor explicit and inspectable state over opaque internal behavior

===== 3. Scope =====

The current documented scope of MTRP includes:

  * neighbor discovery
  * route advertisement and learning
  * forwarding table maintenance
  * route selection policy
  * send-time preferred-route selection
  * support for compact operation on constrained transports
