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. [char]REVIEW -> what is the meaning of the node with a dashed border? should provide a little expansion on what this figure represents especially the interaction with the network & beyond

Figure 1: 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.

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:

• 2.2.2.2.1 Operating System (OS)
• 2.2.2.2.2 Operating Environment
• 2.2.2.2.3 DIDO Platform
• 2.2.2.2.4 Distributed Applications
• 5_data
