Important
Version 2.4 along with the last 2.3.X update brings some default traffic management practices to increase the resilience of larger meshes and allow more airtime for messaging. Some of the important changes which help accomplish this:
- Deprecation of
ROUTER_CLIENTrole (2.3.15) - Move up all telemetry default intervals to every 30 minutes (instead of 15 minutes)
- Don't send node info interrogation for unknown nodes when Ch. utilization is >25%
- Scale configured / default intervals back based on online mesh size > 40 nodes
- Requesting history from a Store & Forward Server over LoRa is not available on the channel with default key. As a new feature, when connecting to it with a client app, the history will be retrieved automatically.
