== Introduction
Hamnet70 intends to provide a network system in the 70 cm amateur radio band that can transfer Internet Protocol (IP) packets at a high speed.
https://git.tkolb.de/amateurfunk/hamnet70[Hamnet70] intends to provide a network system in the 70 cm amateur radio band that can transfer Internet Protocol (IP) packets at a high speed.
The protocols defined here are inspired by the Packet Radio network and Bluetooth Low Energy.
The protocols are designed primarily for centralized infrastructure as they were common in the Packet Radio network.

When the digipeater receives a disconnect packet in the regular packet flow (i.e. no previous packets are lost), it will immediately drop the connection state and not call this client again.
Therefore, if the client wants to ensure that all previous packets are transmitted, it must wait until the digipeater confirms that by sending the corresponding RX sequence number before sending the Disconnect packet.
==== Connectionless Frame
Connectionless Frames are used to transfer packets between unconnected notes.
They can be used to implement custom protocols (similar to APRS, which is implemented on top of AX.25).
The layer 2 header of Connectionless Frames is filled as follows:
- Message Type: `100` (Connectionless Frame)
- TX Request: `1` if this is the last packet in the burst, `0` otherwise
- Source Address: the transmitters HAM-64 address
- Destination Address: the target stations HAM-64 address
- TX sequence number: user-defined
- RX sequence number: user-defined
The sequence numbers can be used in any way that is useful for the custom protocol.
It is required that the first byte of each Connectionless Frame identify the protocol being used.
Protocol numbers are centrally assigned and are listed below.
Some protocol numbers are reserved for experimentation and development and can be self-assigned temporarily.
