  * `network_address` - The *network* address to use.  This is your Lixonet routing layer address: 172.xxx.0.0 (especially take note of the last two 0's: `0.0` -- it _MUST_ end with zeros corresponding to the network size)
  * `bgp_asn` - The BGP ASN to use.  We usually follow the format `4206969XXX` where _XXX_ is the last octet of your `address`, zero-padded (i.e. 008 or 212)
+ * `internal_gateway` - The internal gateway to use.  This is the IP address, directly upstream from the Lixonet EE router, that can be used as a next hop to reach your own subnets.

 #### Prerequisites:
 
 1. `docker` and `docker-compose` (Alpine: community repository; https://docs.genesys.com/Documentation/System/8.5.x/DDG/InstallationofDockeronAlpineLinux), `git`, and `curl` are installed (Alpine: `apk add`).  You may also want to make docker run at boot: `rc-update add docker boot`.
-2. `eth0` is the **LAN** or **WAN** interface supporting external routing, DNS, etc., and is the **bridged** interface to a router that will statically route the entire desired network subnet (i.e. x.x.0.0/21) through it.  You may also have an `eth1` (and so on, so forth) that you statically configure for your entire, wide subnet (i.e. x.x.0.0/21) if you want to use two physical adapters.  If you do have more than one interface, make sure that `internal_interface` is set to the interface that can route your personal Lixonet subnets, and not your WAN interface with a default gateway.

 4. `tun` and `tap` are in `/etc/modules` to load at boot (https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-how-to-load-a-kernel-module-automatically-at-boot-time/) and the system has been rebooted afterwards.
 5. `sigil` is installed (`curl -L "https://github.com/gliderlabs/sigil/releases/download/v0.5.0/sigil_0.5.0_$(uname -sm|tr ' ' '_').tgz" | tar -zxC /usr/local/bin`)
 6. IPv4 forwarding is on: `sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1` and `iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT` are run (and persisted) to allow IP forwarding.  To persist these changes, see: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Configure_Networking, refer to "Save Firewall Rules".
