Network Architecture

Pimeleon router network architecture is designed for robust routing, security, and performance optimization.

Network Components

The network layer consists of:

• IP Addressing - CIDR blocks and IP allocation strategy
• Network Topology - Physical and logical network layout
• Network Interfaces - Interface configuration and routing

Key Features

• Dual-interface routing (WAN/LAN)
• Multi-interface network architecture
• DHCP server integration
• DNS resolution and filtering

Interface Details

• eth0 - Primary WAN interface
• eth1 - LAN interface for local network
• wlan0 - Wireless access point interface

Network Services

Network services are tightly integrated with the routing layer:

• DHCP for automatic client configuration
• DNS with filtering and privacy features
• NAT for internet gateway functionality
• Firewall for security and access control
