nodes should be considered as boxes, agents sit on top of node and are used for
transport and reception of traffic, applications (traffic generator) sit on top
of agents. You can act on routing costs to make a certain data flow take a
certain path.

you can put a duplex-link between 2 nodes on different LANs. LanRouter is not a
node, and is not meant to work as one. It's purpose is to provide connectivity
inside the LAN, since the LAN itself is viewed as a Node from outside of it.
Routing between the 2 LANs will be pretty much as id it were between 2 nodes.
