8.6 Internal and External Subnets
The EnRoute500s in a mesh neighborhood must be aware of which addresses are located
within the mesh and which are external to the mesh. The addresses that fall within the mesh
are considered internal, and those that are located on the WAN-side of the mesh
neighborhood’s gateway(s) are considered external.
