Node

Overview#

Node depends on context

Communication#

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.

Network devices#

Node in a network is a Network device 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.

Node Data Structures#

Node is a Data Element

A Node is a Data Structure which may contain a value or condition, or represent a separate data structure (which could be a tree of its own). Each Node in a tree has zero or more child nodes, which are below, or inferior, it in the tree (by convention, trees are drawn growing downwards).

A Node that has a child is called the child's parent node (or superior ). A node has at most one parent, but possibly many ancestor nodes, such as the parent's parent. Child nodes with the same parent are sibling nodes.

Distributed Ledger Technology Nodes are a computer running an instance of the software necessary to operate a Distributed Ledger Technology or blockchain
