| | 2 | The MUSCLE Transfer Overlay (MTO) is a daemon for forwarding traffic from MUSCLE 2. This service is often required when MUSCLE 2 is run on several sites with firewall restrictions. On each site, a MTO should be placed on a node that is less strict in its firewall policies, but that can be accessed from other MTO nodes. Often, clusters have an interactive node that is suitable for this purpose. |

| | 4 | If it is already installed, set up, and connected between all needed sites, all that is needed is that the `--intercluster` flag is added to the command-line, the rest stays the same. |
| | 5 | {{{ |
| | 6 | muscle2 -mc model.cxa.rb --intercluster sub1 |
| | 7 | }}} |
| | 8 | The address of the simulation manager (suppose its `10.0.0.200:5002`) can then directly be used on another site: |
| | 9 | {{{ |
| | 10 | muscle2 -c model.cxa.rb --intercluster -M 10.0.0.200:5002 sub2 |
| | 11 | }}} |
| | 12 | For convenience, the `--intercluster` also has the shorthand `-i`. |
