2.2.2.2 Node View

return to Node Network View

The Node View represents the internals of any particular node within the node_network. As represented in the figure below, it is comprised of five layers; however, the layers are not set in stone -- each implementation of a Node within a Domain may be organized differently.

The idealized five layers of a Node.

At the boundary between each layer there is an interstitial layer formed by an application_programming_interface, which is usually defined by one or more Technical or de facto standards | de facto standards.

As each Transaction, Transform, or Stream of data flows to or from a Node over the Network, it must travel through and/or interact with the:
