Routing & Topology

One of Zenoh's defining features is topology freedom — the protocol imposes no constraints on how nodes are arranged. This chapter explains how Zenoh routes data across arbitrary topologies.

Chapters

• Peer Mode — direct peer-to-peer; works without a router
• Client Mode — lightweight mode for constrained devices
• Router Mode — infrastructure node connecting segments
• Multicast Scouting — automatic peer/router discovery
