+Everything in [[Connecting to ScotMesh]] makes you a '''client''': you use the network, and nothing goes through you. A '''transport node''' also carries other people's traffic and tells the network which paths it knows. That is how the network stops depending on any one machine, including ours. This page is for anyone who wants to run one. There are two ways: a ready-made board, or Reticulum on a computer.

+* '''Something that stays on''', with a steady connection: a board on a windowsill, a Raspberry Pi, a small VPS, or a computer that is on anyway. Reticulum itself is light.
-* What a transport node commits you to — and what it does not
+What it does '''not''' commit you to:
-* <code>enable_transport = Yes</code>, and choosing interfaces
-* Making yourself reachable: a public port, or I2P if you have none
+* '''Seeing anyone's traffic.''' Everything through you is encrypted end to end and carries no sender address. You relay ciphertext.
-* Announce intervals — the default is far too sparse to be discovered
+* '''Any legal responsibility for content''', for the same reason: there is nothing you could read, filter or hand over.
-* Peering with ScotMesh and with others
+* '''Much bandwidth.''' Reticulum traffic is measured in kilobytes.
