“Nodes of Distributed Systems” Poornima Institute of Engineering & Technology, Jaipur Department of Computer Engineering A Presentation on Presented by,: Manish Bhardwaj (DyHod,CS) “Nodes of Distributed Systems”

Today’s Programme What is Node Clients Fat Thin Hybrid Servers Peers

What is Node Also known as “Knot”. Connection Point. Any Redistribution Point or communication end point. Depends on network and protocol layers. Any device connected to a network which can send, receive or forward information across a network.
