1. A method of storing data concerning a computer network, the method comprising:
- producing mesh information concerning a mesh of nodes in the computer network, the mesh information comprising;
a variable which denotes whether an interface of the mesh is an external mesh interface, or a list of external mesh interfaces;
storing the mesh information, anddetermining whether an interface of the mesh is an external mesh interface based on the variable or the list of external mesh interfaces,wherein the mesh is a group of three or more nodes of the computer network that are fully interconnected,wherein the external mesh interface is an interface of a node in the mesh that connects to a node that is not in the mesh, andwherein an internal mesh interface is an interface of a node in the mesh that only connects to the nodes in the mesh.
