latest one is taken.
On startup the node generates its own signed node info file, filename of the format ``nodeInfo-${hash}``. To create a simple
network without the HTTP network map service then simply place this file in the ``additional-node-infos`` directory
of every node that's part of this network. For example, a simple way to do this is to use rsync.

Usually, test networks have a structure that is known ahead of time. For the creation of such networks we provide a
``network-bootstrapper`` tool. This tool pre-generates node configuration directories if given the IP addresses/domain
