IPv6 over LoRa using my RNode. In order to create a TAP interface I have used tncattach which works with RNode's that have been configured to be in "TNC mode"

"I'm using my RNode device to send internet data over long distances using radio signals, a technology called LoRa. This is useful for connecting devices in areas without traditional internet access. To make my computer recognize the radio connection as part of my network, I used a tool called tncattach. This tool helps create a virtual link between the radio device and my computer, allowing them to communicate seamlessly. The RNode needs to be set to a specific mode, called "TNC mode," for this setup to work properly."

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the latest version of the Internet Protocol, which is used to identify and locate devices on a network.
TNC (Terminal Node Controller) is a device that converts digital data into audio signals that can be transmitted over radio waves, and vice versa.
tncattach is a software tool that creates a network interface on a computer, allowing it to communicate with a TNC.
Cool man. Can it mesh? Or this would be stage one to that end?
I'm familiar with LoRa and Meshtastic. And the bandwidth issue for non messaging applications.
I always wondered why long range WiFi couldn't mesh. For a decentralized ISP. There's WiFi backhauls with 5-15 mile range. There's even multi-mile range router access points. Which gets similar to LoRa range but with vastly higher bandwidth.
Latency would suck from the hops. But I don't see why this wouldn't work...
