-AnoNet is an internet. An internet means an internetwork, or a network
-that connects between networks. An internetwork is normally constructed
-by making links between the different networks, and then carrying
-internetwork traffic along those links. (If network A has a link to
-network B, then traffic from A to B or from B to A should probably pass
-through that link.) Such a link is called a "peering," and the two
-sides of that link are called "peers." On the IcannNet, peerings are
-normally done over leased lines, but due to the nature of AnoNet, using
-leased lines isn't much of an option for most peerings. Therefore, most
-peerings are done over tunnels on the IcannNet. The most common software
-for AnoNet tunnels is OpenVPN, although tinc and quicktuns are also used.

(tinc in particular deserves special attention: it can create a mesh
between participants, sacrificing anonymity to achieve lower latency.)
