 Each relay is connected to one exit node (tunnel type not yet decided). It does NAT (IP Masquerading) on traffic coming from the mesh and headed for the internet. All traffic coming from the mesh and going to the wider internet goes through an exit node. The source IP of data coming from the mesh thus appears as the IP of one of the exit nodes. This provides a layer of protection such that e.g. abuse complaints will be sent to the mesh organization instead of the individuals who donate some of their internet bandwidth to the mesh.
-:Until network has an AS, only one exit node should be made and multiple relay nodes should connect to that exit node (Tunneldigger software can be reused for that). Otherwise clients can have issues when routing protocol decides to move from one exit node to another. But it is true that batman-adv has some protection against that, so that once a client decides for a gateway, it should be more or less sticky, no?

 :It is important that nodes are connecting to relays and relays to exit nodes and that no IPs of those connecting to relays and exit nodes is stored.
