Network topology

The nodes can access the position of every other node in the network at any time, by accessing a specific structure called routing table. The routing table is designed and shared among the nodes after the execution of a devoted process called detection.

This routing table allows any service to find, locate, and use any other service on the entire network.

Routing table

The Routing table is a feature of Luos that enables each nodeHardware element (MCU) hosting and running Luos and hosting one or several services. to possess a "map" (or topology) representing the entire network of your device. This map empowers nodes to understand their physical position, diverse functionalities, and facilitates seamless search and interaction with other nodes.

The Routing table is created and shared among all nodes through a process known as detection. During detection, each node generates a local routing table that contains a list of its services and connections to their parent node. The node initiating the topology detection consolidates all the local routing tables from other nodes to form a global routing table. By default, the routing table is shared with all nodes.
However, the routing table is not essential for every node, especially if it only includes driver services. In such cases, you can define NO_RTB in the _node_config.h_ file within your project to save memory.
