[App_rpt-users] Virtual node

Sun Sep 14 21:38:56 UTC 2014

As the word implies, a hub is a node that other nodes connect to.
The idea is that a lot of nodes have enough bandwidth for one or two 
connections. You can mesh nodes as in: a connects to b connects to c 
etc. In a hub or star configuration, a b and c all connect to the hub.

A Virtual hub does not have any RF gear connected to it and is usually 
on a high bandwidth Internet connection.
