Relays will not route packets back where they came from, but it is still possible to generate loops where packets will then arrive multiple times, so keep that in mind. | Relays will not route packets back where they came from, but it is still possible to generate loops where packets will then arrive multiple times, so keep that in mind. | ||

The Relay block also serves as a ComputerCraft peripheral, providing an interface imitating that of ComputerCraft's (wired) modems. It will forward network messages sent from ComputerCraft to the OpenComputers side, which can be received if a [[item:lan_card|network card]] is installed. It will also receive OpenComputers' network messages and push a corresponding signal in CC computers attached to the adapter. Note that network messages in OpenComputers do not require a "response port" like ComputerCraft does. If the first argument for the network message is a number, it will be interpreted as the response port to tell ComputerCraft receivers, otherwise the response port will be set to `-1`. | The Relay block also serves as a ComputerCraft peripheral, providing an interface imitating that of ComputerCraft's (wired) modems.
