Document mesh networking options

[manics]

Document the options somewhere.

• Hub and spoke?
• Full mesh?
• Hybrid?

Related to are TRE's federated, or just individual projects?

This is not about deciding, this is about documenting

In this folder is a drawio file and some PNG exports of me trying to understand the options currently in play:

• direct connections, routing peers
• direct connections, sidecar peers
• relay connections, routing peers
• relay connections, sidecar peers

Have collected the above diagrams into a config options document and added commentary:

Something we might want to note, as I expect it will be quite common, purple may be the same org as blue or green. Although, blue is never the same org as green.

@rmbaxter67 are we definitely setting K8s as a requirement for each federating org?

I'm happy to be on the hook to do some writing/drafting in this area. I did spend some time thinking about it before and might be one of the least-bad people to do it 😆

I agree the Netbird management node may be in the same org as an execution node. Is there a case for when these roles should not be logically separated in the same org?
