 A node, type IRIS, is built using NanoBSD with some extensions a.o. to make package management a bit easier. Also the internet gateway (providing internet connectivity to the local wireless network) is based on NanoBSD.
 
-The '''nodes''' are FreeBSD routers with slave DNS (dnsmasq), lvrouted as a dynamic internal routing daemon, thttpd webserver and a captive portal based on tcpserver and ipfw for the plain HTTP-redirects. Moreover there are some additions which are strictly speaking not essential such as network monitoring (Nagios) and bandwith measurment (iperf).

 A '''proxy gateway''' is a http-proxy based on tinyproxy and an authorative DNS server (maradns). Included is also
-reverse ssh-tunneling (for remote management behind NAT firewalls). An alternative is a '''packet filtering firewall''' using ipfw to allow only port 80, 443 rate limited traffic.
+reverse ssh-tunneling (for remote management behind NAT firewalls). Nodes use pen with a pen-wrapper to select the 'best' proxy (i.e. the highest bandwith). An alternative is a '''packet filtering firewall''' using ipfw to allow only port 80, 443 rate limited traffic. Packet filtering gateways use lvrouted to advertise a default route.
