Relay nodes are Internet connected hosts that allow mesh nodes to talk to each other using batman-adv over the Internet. Mesh nodes connect to relay nodes using a type of layer 2 tunnel called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L2TP L2TP]. The software used to establish these tunnels is called [https://github.com/wlanslovenija/tunneldigger tunneldigger] and was developed by [https://dev.wlan-si.net/ wlan slovenija]. A relay node is usually a VPS or a dedicated server with a good amount of available bandwidth and cpu. | Relay nodes are Internet connected hosts that allow mesh nodes to talk to each other using batman-adv over the Internet.
