>>Notes
`:cite-note-7`!1.`! Excluding IFAC and Blackhole.
`:cite-note-8`!2.`! Interface `F0af`_`[discovery`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Discovery]`_`f
`:cite-note-9`!3.`! UDPInterface, LoRaInterface
`:cite-note-10`!4.`! A minimal NomadNet-compatible page server and client is possible (no `F0af`_`[LXMF`:/page/wiki.mu`path=LXMF]`_`f)
`:cite-note-0-11`!5.`! To be confirmed.
`:cite-note-12`!6.`! Only TCP and UDP interfaces implemented so far.
`:cite-note-14`!7.`! UDP, TCP, Auto, I2P, Backbone, Pipe, Local, Serial, Modem73, SDR, WebSocket, QUIC, WebTransport, DNS rendezvous, VSOCK (Linux), HTTPS long-poll. See COMPATIBILITY.md and docs/en/interfaces.md.
`:cite-note-15`!8.`! Only TCP interfaces implemented so far.
`:cite-note-16`!9.`! I2P and Serial interfaces not implemented.
`:cite-note-17`!10.`! Efficient crypto C modules with fallback to native micropython ones.
`:cite-note-18`!11.`! Leaf-node only (no full relay/forwarding between interfaces). Path table, announce handling, hop counting all work.
`:cite-note-19`!12.`! Data structure exists but filtering logic incomplete.
`:cite-note-20`!13.`! Page serving works (micron .mu pages, file downloads, template vars). Not a full NomadNet node (no propagation, no bulletin boards).
`:cite-note-21`!14.`! For more details, see this issue.
`:cite-note-22`!15.`! Missing: Announce rate limiting, path expiry, packet caching, tunnel support, path request/response.
`:cite-note-23`!16.`! Hardware interfaces (LoRa, serial, TCP) are firmware-side; LoopbackInterface in the lib.
`:cite-note-24`!17.`! Missing: Ratchets, link teardown negotiation.
`:cite-note-25`!18.`! Missing: Resource hash verification of assembled payload.
`:cite-note-26`!19.`! Can host simple NomadNet pages, such as live metrics (uptime, battery, heap, RSSI, interfaces, known peers).
