+gluon-next-node
+===============
+
+This package provides a virtual interface (tied to *br-client*) called
+*local-node* using the same MAC, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses across all nodes in
+a mesh. Thus, the node that the client is currently connected to, can always
+be reached under a known address.
+
+The IPv6 address is marked as deprecated to prevent it from being used as a
+source address for packages originating from a node.
