Revision history [back]

This is a really interesting question, and I personally have not done this myself. However, the ROS wiki on Remote Machines claims that it possible, with a few caveats.

Your ISP (internet service provider) allows for port forwarding.
The devices communicate with each other via Public IPs, which may change dynamically.
It has a lot of network configuration and setup outside of ROS, and the wiki link provided above tries to explain some of the problems faced.

Hope this helps.
