Subject: Some questions about areas
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2021 00:19:25 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87eeas1wde.fsf@complete.org> (raw)
Hello,
I'm working on a tool to use NNCP areas to facilitate syncing of
git repos. I'm pretty excited about this use case.
I have a few questions - perhaps the answers would also make good
additions to the documentation.
1) What is the interaction between "subs" and "via"? If I list a
node in subs and have a default via for it elsewhere in the
config, is that via used?
2) I'm a little unclear on the difference between having a machine
that lacks the keypair and one that lacks the area entirely. I
think it may have something to do with the answer to #1? Is it
that such a machine can only route packets in a traditional "via"
way? (That is, the originator of the packet [or some other
area-aware system] would have to do the routing to end nodes
directly?)
Thanks,
John
