with 2,000 users. How much bandwidth was used for communication and how much for ACK and telemetry packets?
The bandwidth gets clogged up with just 100 nodes. Did you use LongFast or something else?

We've worked really hard on the bandwidth problem in recent releases, and even with default settings the 100 node scenario isn't as clogged as it used to be. At DEF CON we did an event firmware and used the TURBO preset. Plenty of bandwidth.

Did you see David Minster’s editorial in QST, October, 2025, page 9?
It might be a good time to interject Meshtastic into the emergency preparedness conversation.
