Overview#

Node is typically a is either a redistribution point or a communication endpoint.

Node definition may depends on the network and protocol layer referred to.

A physical network Node is an active electronic device that is attached to a network, and is capable of creating, receiving, or transmitting data over a communications channel.

A passive distribution point such as a distribution frame or patch panel is consequently not a Node.
