No it is not mandatory to have a direct physical connection between the
RR and its clients.

Subject: Connectivity between RR and client's

Hello friends,

Would appreciate if you can help me clear this doubt:

Between RR and the client's, is it mandatory to have a
"direct physical" connectivity?

Thanks
