Hence, as decentralized as possible. Any node can offer a service to a mesh, and all nodes can make use of all services that they are aware of.

If net.access is interrupted for longer than a few hours in any given area, it should be possible to set up a mesh. The Doctor 23:51, 2 April 2011 (GMT-5)
