Hey all,
First version of the network diagram for technical documentation. Hopefully
folks can use a derivative of this to create other graphic diagrams and
drawings for paper manuals, online instructions, etc.
The font is Anaheim, it's open source and online.

Excellent drawing, Matt.
I'm not sure how best to represent the VPN part. I thought it extended
from the 2.4GHz nodes all the way to the exit nodes; kind of like a wrapper
(or tunnel; based on perspective). Based on color and location, it looks
like the VPN only extends from relay nodes to the exit nodes.
Maybe that's the way it is and I've got it all wrong. Wouldn't be the
first time. ;)

I intended to make the lines thicker to denote that it's a "stronger" or
"bolder" connection since it is taking place through the internet,
(although unencrypted), but via a vpn tunnel. I've updated that part and
can post after more feedback changes. The nodes that do not have lines to
the relay nodes do not have internet connections, and demonstrate how only
some of the nodes on the network need internet connections. This doesn't
currently show traffic moving along the network, but I'll be making a
second diagram animation for that.
Did that accurately address your question?

That said, I think you've handled it splendidly.

Some minutes later: I decided that instead of giving the suggestion on

The part that is needed is the keys. That's how is it called?

Ryan,
Excellent. It's just the beginning. I hope this encourages folks to spin
out more descriptive diagrams, ones that would demonstrate what Chris is
talking about (i.e. that the vpn connection extends from the node you're
connected through, which is then passed on to the next node with an
internet connection), but also ones that are simply more accessible, or
coupled with descriptions, documentation, etc.
Somebody,
Interesting suggestion. Thanks for hacking! I can see why you would want to
invert the graphic, but what value does it provide? I intentionally started
the diagram with the local network at the top. Why start with the internet?

In my mind see the Mesh Network come from ground up, from the home's
walls and roofs showering the streets and then taking off to the sky.
Well, that is how my mind sees the Mesh. :)

That would be a simple top to bottom flip of the image, right?
Another way to imagine it would be that the home (the individual) is at the
top. Each individual personal connection is at the top and below it is all
the infrastructure.
The node near my house is in the sky, but as soon as it connects to the
internet it's going underground in fiber tubes buried next to the highways
that criss-cross the nation and the world.
I suppose that in a pure wifi-mesh system, unconnected to the internet, it
could be considered an air only, connected from above, system.
However we look at it, I think it is important that we find a way to impart
a meaningful, shared conceptual model of what we're building. Only with a
model that people can understand quickly and at a high level will it get
traction. We don't want to mislead or pander only to the lowest common
denominator but we want it to be right sized, if you will, to our goal of
educating the public.
I think, that when we are looking for the balance of high level
abstractions to low level technical details, that we should ere a bit on
the side of technical. I know I get frustrated with descriptions of
technology that use a false abstraction in an attempt to make a challenging
idea accessible to those who are unfamiliar with those ideas.

All of this up or down discussion doesn't make much sense to me.
Network diagrams are either completely abstract with no up or down, or
they relate to real-world topographies as seen from above, usually
with the top being North.

I think everyone's comments have been helpful. Attached is an updated
version of the diagram, though you can see that there are really only minor
tweaks and not a major reorganization. I decided that for the purposes of
this diagram, since the eye comes across it more or less from the top that
the primary focal point should be the Local Area Network, even if
emotionally we know it to be a bottom-up concept. Graphically, having the
internet at the top doesn't come off as legible to me without other
elements, say dirt, grass and such. The subtlety is that essentially,
outside the LAN bubble of this diagram is the open space of other networks,
namely including connections that go to and include the global internet.
I think what Chris points out is helpful too since we can basically shake
this diagram from any particular node, in order to orient our view toward a
particular topic, purpose, point of view, end user, developer, etc.
However, that can take place in additional diagrams, and I really want this
to be a basic reference. As for the end users, I completely agree and plan
to make a diagram from the perspective of the home router, showing how
traffic passes into and out of your home. I think the pair of these
diagrams tells a whole story: how I fit in at home, and how the network
functionally works on a fundamental level.
Any diagrams to explain the rest of the internet itself would be swell. Any
links? This one is a bit much:

Updates, clarifying what we mean by "local area network" which was too
generic, hence just using the actual name is fine "The People's Open
Network" which indeed is "(local)"
Also updated the Relay Node description, replacing "Virtual Private
Network" with the term "Virtual Public Network" or VPuN, which has roots in
GNUnet https://gnunet.org/gnunet-vpn and is situated in this historical
piece
http://www.isaca.org/Journal/Past-Issues/2001/Volume-3/Pages/Virtual-Privat…
I also updated the language to denote Relay Nodes as "Tunnel Server &
Client" because this is accurate based on the software used on these
servers, an IP tunnel package developed by WLAN-Slovenija folks:
TunnelDigger.
While TunnelDigger technically qualifies as "Virtual Private Network"
software (with a major lapse in not actually providing access control
mechanisms as is the point of most VPN software), this label is actually
more generic than what we need (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPN#Unencrypted_tunnels), especially when
there is a socially and historically situated alternative that is both more
descriptive and mission-consistent with sudo mesh's work: Virtual Public
Network (VPuN).
So, who wants to write the Wikipedia article on Virtual Public Networks? ;)
Many thanks to Marc, Mitar, and everyone for drawing this out, I think we
have a good labeling system and sufficient justification for all names.
Cheers!

Instead of Virtual Prival Network, I think it should be VPN: Virtual
Public Network, or VPM: Virtual Public Mesh.
I also really think we should change Local Area Network, to Local
Network or Local Public Network or Local Free Network, since the term
Local Area Network means something even more local in a lot of
people's minds. It may be confusing because this is what we call the
private tiny networks in peoples' houses and many routers have LAN
ports. These LAN ports will not be connected to the LAN in this image.

Hey all,
First version of the network diagram for technical documentation. Hopefully

The font is Anaheim, it's open source and online.
