The combination of identifiers and these ranges makes a single network. ### Routing peer A routing peer is a node that will route packets between your routed network and the other NetBird peers. :::info Only Linux OS nodes can be assigned as routing peers. ::: ### High availability routes -A highly available route is a combination of multiple routes with the same network identifier and CIDR. They have different routing peers offering high-available paths for communication between your peers and external networks. +A highly available route is a combination of multiple routes with the same network identifier and ranges. They have different routing peers offering high-available paths for communication between your peers and external networks. Nodes connected to routing peers will choose one of them to route packets to external networks based on connection type and defined metrics. ### Masquerade -Masquerade hides other NetBird network IPs behind the routing peer local address when accessing the target Network CIDR. This option allows access to your private networks without configuring routes on your local routers or other devices. +Masquerade hides other NetBird network IPs behind the routing peer local address when accessing the target Network range. This option allows access to your private networks without configuring routes on your local routers or other devices. If you don't enable this option, you must configure a route to your NetBird network in your external network infrastructure. ### Metric and priority @@ -56,7 +56,4 @@ Once you are done filling the route information, you can click on the `create` b
