 A virtual network shared between multiple edge nodes in n2n is called a *community*. A single supernode can relay multiple communities and a single PC can be part of multiple communities at the same time. An encryption key can be used by the edge nodes to encrypt the packets within their community.
 
-N2n tries to enstablish a direct P2P connection between the edge nodes when possible. When this is not possible (usually due to special NAT devices), the supernode is also used to relay the packets.
