All following examples can also be applied as startup parameters. For the sake of simplicity we assume there is a running batman daemon on the system that we can connect to.

It is worth noting that globally announced networks always give precendece to locally announced networks.
+__Important__: The above exmples explain how the batman nodes can find the path towards the non-batman network but you also have to ensure that the non-batman network knows the path back. This can be accomplished by setting the routes manually, masquerading, routing protocols, etc. + Batman 0.3.2 (and later versions) allow multiple nodes to announce the same network segment. You may have one non-batman network but several entry points to it. All border nodes can announce the same network. Receiving batman nodes choose their entry point based on the best TQ value available.
