The video discusses the meshtastic mesh routing algorithm, highlighting its operation in versions 1.2, 1.3, and the upcoming 2.0. Version 2.0 will prioritize devices on the network edge for message transmission, improving delivery to devices further away. Routers play a key role in the network setup, receiving message priority and enhancing signal integrity by strategically placing them with good line of sight to other devices. Multiple routers can be utilized to optimize routing through them, benefiting devices located at a distance.

In this segment of the video, the speaker explains the meshtastic mesh routing algorithm, discussing how it operates in versions 1.2 and the upcoming versions 1.3 and 2.0. The current flood routing algorithm facilitates message transmission through random re-transmissions by devices within range. However, in the updated 2.0 version, devices on the network edge are prioritized for transmission, increasing the chances of message delivery even to devices further away. This update aims to address issues where devices positioned behind obstacles or at a farther distance were less likely to receive messages as per the previous equal-weight algorithm.

In this segment of the video, the speaker explains how routers fit into a network setup. Routers are given preference in the network, so messages are first directed to routers before reaching other devices. Placing routers strategically in locations with good line of sight to devices can improve signal integrity. Multiple routers can be used, and the network will prefer routing through them. This prioritization ensures that devices further away are given preference last.
