Site-to-site network role boundaries standard

Purpose

Norms for trust zones, SITE_HOME vs SITE_FARM roles, and what crosses the WAN vs stays local—aligned with Network segmentation, site-to-site, and internet exposure — two-site smart farm (exposure table) and Execution topology package — two-site smart farm (Mermaid).


Standard

# Rule
1 Document Z1/Z2/Z3 (or equivalent) per site—admin, telemetry, guest/user traffic do not share implicit trust.
2 SITE_HOME may host control plane / central backup landing; SITE_FARM edge assumes constrained power and WAN (Central vs local backup scope).
3 Field telemetry must operate local-first for welfare-critical signals per off-grid doctrine where applicable—WAN is not the sole proof path.
4 Site-to-site link (VPN / tailnet / SSH bastion ) terminates in a known segment—no flat LAN across counties without documented exception.
5 Internet exposure table (cameras , broker , farmOS ) stays current when services move—see segmentation analysis for fill-in template.
