### 5.2. Q: Do MeshCore clients repeat?
344
344
**A:** No, MeshCore clients do not repeat. This is the core of MeshCore's messaging-first design. This is to avoid devices flooding the air ware and create endless collisions, so messages sent aren't received.

Routes are stored in sender's contact list. When you send a message the first time, the message first gets to your destination by flood routing, when your destination node gets the message, it sends back to the sender a delivery report with all repeaters that the original message went through. This delivery report is flood-routed back to you the sender and is a basis for future direct path. when you send the next message, the path will get embedded into the packet and be evaluated by repeaters. if the hop and address of the repeater matches, it will retransmit the message, otherwise it will not retransmit, hence minimizing utilization.
