Detailed explanation-1: -A network node can be defined as the connection point among network devices such as routers, printers, or switches that can receive and send data from one endpoint to the other.
Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of nodes include bridges, switches, hubs, and modems to other computers, printers, and servers. One of the most common forms of a node is a host computer; often called an Internet node.
Detailed explanation-3: -On a computer network, each node must have an address for the network to use to properly route the data. The network transfers data between two connection points or nodes. The node is either a continuation point or an endpoint, depending on the function of the device. A computer on a network is an example of a node.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nodes are Entire System Server nuclei or Entire System Server/UNIX servers and refer to machines or CPUs on which requests to the operating system are executed. They are distinguished by numerical identifiers in the same way as database IDs distinguish between different Adabas databases.
