For exchanging small amounts of data over a Reticulum network, the Packet interface is sufficient, but for exchanging data that would require many packets, an efficient way to coordinate the transfer is needed.

This is the purpose of the Reticulum Resource. A Resource can automatically handle the reliable transfer of an arbitrary amount of data over an established Link. Resources can auto-compress data, will handle breaking the data into individual packets, sequencing the transfer, integrity verification and reassembling the data on the other end.

Resources are programmatically very simple to use, and only requires a few lines of codes to reliably transfer any amount of data. They can be used to transfer data stored in memory, or stream data directly from files.
