   203    203   * Cooperation between community networks and Community-Lab
   204    204   can take different forms.  Given a typical CN like this, with most nodes

   207         -# Axel: Keep CN on sight, explain RDs and RD links (DIs) in cloud.
   208    207   - CN members can provide an existing CD and let CONFINE connect a RD to it via
   209    208     Ethernet.  Experiments are restricted to the application layer unless the
   210         -  node owner allows the RD to include a direct interface (i.e. antenna). *##*
          209  +  node owner allows the RD to include additional antennas.
   211    210   - CN members can provide a location and let CONFINE set up a complete node
   212         -  there (CD and RD).  In this way CONFINE helps extend the CN. *##*
          211  +  there (CD and RD).  In this way CONFINE helps extend the CN.
   213    212   - CONFINE can also extend the CN by setting up a physically separated cloud of
   214         -  connected nodes.  Experiments in all layers are possible in this setup, but
   215         -  users should be warned about the research nature of the network. *##*
          213  +  nodes.  Additional antennas allow experiments in all layers (like routing),

   217    216   These are only a few ways of cooperation, but more can be envisioned. *##*

   220    219   We introduced you to Community-Lab, a new testbed being developed by the
   221    220   CONFINE project to support research that can help CNs become a key part of the
   222    221   Internet in a near future.
