    """
    This class is used to initialise access to Reticulum within a
    program. You must create exactly one instance of this class before
    carrying out any other RNS operations, such as creating destinations
    or sending traffic. Every independently executed program must create
    their own instance of the Reticulum class, but Reticulum will
    automatically handle inter-program communication on the same system,
    and expose all connected programs to external interfaces as well.

    As soon as an instance of this class is created, Reticulum will start
    opening and configuring any hardware devices specified in the supplied
    configuration.

    Currently the first running instance must be kept running while other
    local instances are connected, as the first created instance will
    act as a master instance that directly communicates with external
    hardware such as modems, TNCs and radios. If a master instance is
    asked to exit, it will not exit until all client processes have
    terminated (unless killed forcibly).

    If you are running Reticulum on a system with several different
    programs that use RNS starting and terminating at different times,
    it will be advantageous to run a master RNS instance as a daemon for
    other programs to use on demand.

    The MTU that Reticulum adheres to, and will expect other peers to
    adhere to. By default, the MTU is 500 bytes. In custom RNS network
    implementations, it is possible to change this value, but doing so will
    completely break compatibility with all other RNS networks. An identical
    MTU is a prerequisite for peers to communicate in the same network.

    Unless you really know what you are doing, the MTU should be left at
    the default value.

    The maximum percentage of interface bandwidth that, at any given time,
    may be used to propagate announces. If an announce was scheduled for
    broadcasting on an interface, but doing so would exceed the allowed
    bandwidth allocation, the announce will be queued for transmission
    when there is bandwidth available.

    Reticulum will always prioritise propagating announces with fewer
    hops, ensuring that distant, large networks with many peers on fast
    links don't overwhelm the capacity of smaller networks on slower
    mediums. If an announce remains queued for an extended amount of time,
    it will eventually be dropped.

    This value will be applied by default to all created interfaces,
    but it can be configured individually on a per-interface basis. In
    general, the global default setting should not be changed, and any
    alterations should be made on a per-interface basis instead.

# The interfaces section defines the physical and virtual
# interfaces Reticulum will use to communicate on. This
# section will contain examples for a variety of interface
# types. You can modify these or use them as a basis for
# your own config, or simply remove the unused ones.

[interfaces]

  # This interface enables communication with other
  # link-local Reticulum nodes over UDP. It does not
  # need any functional IP infrastructure like routers
  # or DHCP servers, but will require that at least link-
  # local IPv6 is enabled in your operating system, which
  # should be enabled by default in almost any OS. See
  # the Reticulum Manual for more configuration options.
