Description
Nodes are devices or data points on a larger network.
Devices
Devices such as a personal computer, cell phone, or printer are nodes.
Internet IP addresses
When defining nodes on the Internet, a node is anything that has an IP address.
Larger data structures
Nodes are individual parts of a larger data structure, such as linked lists and tree data structures.
Data
Nodes contain [[Data (computing)]|data]].
Nodes may link to other nodes
Nodes may link to other nodes.
