Node (Latin nodus, ‘knot’) is a critical element of any computer network. It can be defined as a point in a network at which lines intersect or branch, a device attached to a network[1], or a terminal or other point in a computer network where messages can be created, received, or transmitted[2] A node can be any device connected to a computer network. Nodes can be computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones, or various other networked devices. On a TCP/IP network, a node is any device with an IP address [3]. If the node is a computer, it is more often called a "host".
