If anyone here remembers this old discussion: > [@Cyphal/UDP Routing over Multiple Networks](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/cyphal-udp-routing-over-multiple-networks/1657): > > What are your thoughts on routing Cyphal service requests and responses over Multiple Networks? What questions and scenarios should we be considering when developing the Cyphal/UDP specification? I’m working with Scott Dixon (@scottdixon) and just started looking at the development of the Cyphal/UDP specification. I see there is some current development and proposals in forum posts by Pavel (see 1, 2, 3 below), but I’m unsure if there is more work already completed or researched, specifically… Named topics actually resolve ~all dynamic routing issues we’ve been discussing there. I think it should be a no-brainer to build a very simple router node (not a _bridge_) that plugs to a Cyphal/anything network on one side and some other Cyphal network on the other side. One particular example is linking a local network (in-vehicle or whatever) with the cloud (via Cyphal/serial over TCP as an option). I’m not planning to explore that immediately since I don’t have a use case at hand, but if anyone finds it immediately relevant, we could talk about it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/rfc-zero-configuration-cyphal-with-named-topics/2376)._
