So, I've basically decided that I will make a simple device that will sit between your LAN and intOREnet, sending packets to your LAN if addressed to it and to intOREnet otherwise. It will also ignore packets addressed to a local device but originate from the LAN, as the LAN's infrastructure should deal with that. (According to Wikipedia the best description for such a device would be a residential gateway).
After that, the network topology is up to you, I won't enforce any sort of structure beyond that except that there are a maximum of 7 devices per LAN and a LAN address of 000 should point to every device in that LAN.
Other than that, the topology of the LAN is really up to the user. However I also recognise that people won't want to make their own network hardware and therefore I will make some hardware to support the most popular topology, hence the poll. I'll probably make some hardware-reconfigurable switches too.
Please don't vote if you don't plan on being part of intOREnet.
