-Under certain circumstances it is desirable to make non-batman hosts (such as servers, subnets, other routing domains or simple notebooks) known to the batman network. Batman can announce these network addresses (also known as HNA) which tells every other batman node to send the data for this network segment back to the announcing host (assuming this host knows how to reach the destination). +Under certain circumstances it is desirable to make non-batman hosts (such as servers, [[BR]] +subnets, other routing domains or simple notebooks) known to the batman network.

-__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. +__Important__: The above examples explain how the batman nodes can find the path [[BR]] +towards the non-batman network but you also have to ensure that the non-batman network[[BR]] +knows the path back.

-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. +Batman 0.3.2 (and later versions) allow multiple nodes to announce the same network [[BR]] +segment.
