Hi Sam,
Thanks for contacting us.
I'm not sure I can speak too much to the routing, but we do have a network
simulator written in Python, that you can play with here
<https://jemucino.github.io/disaster-radio-netsim/>, and the code is
available here <https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio-netsim>.
The main problem I see with MDP is that it is a Layer 3 protocol. I know we
are not using the LoRaWAN Layer 2 protocol and only using the physical
layer LoRa modulation scheme. Also, we are concerned about bogging down the
network with too many acks and re-transmissions. Not sure if @juul or some
of the SSB people might have more to say about possible routing schemes.
As for the hardware, we only have a few prototype boards that had some
minor problems. Once we finish the updated design, your best bet is to
probably get your own printed, as we have a number of people in Oakland and
NZ waiting for boards. The KiCAD schematics are available here
<https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/tree/master/hardware>, though
you should wait for @nanomonkey to tag another commit.
Happy holidays!

Hi I'm Sam
I was involved in the now defunct
http://www.bristolwireless.net/about-us/
for about 10 years, more recently I helped start The Things network in
Bristol. I was thinking about hacking together one of these:

When I found your project :) I'm curious how you're handling routing?
Could the Mesh datagram protocol from Serval be any use to you?
https://github.com/servalproject/serval-dna/blob/
development/doc/Mesh-Datagram-Protocol.md
Or is it too heavyweight for the LORA side?
I also read on your mailing list that you've had a few boards made up,
would you consider shipping a couple to the UK?
Thanks
Sam
