In computer network terms: What's the difference between a node and a node?

There is no difference between a node and a node, but the names are different.

A network node refers to a computer or other device connected to the network with independent address and the function of sending or receiving data, also known as a network node. The whole network is composed of so many network nodes, and many network nodes are connected by communication lines to form a certain geometric relationship, which is the computer network topology.

Important properties of nodes in three networks:

1, degree centrality: the number of nodes directly connected to a node. If a node represents a person and an edge represents a friend in a social network, the greater the centrality of the node, the more friends this person has.

2. Proximity: the sum of the shortest distances from one node to all other nodes, or the reciprocal of the sum. Generally speaking, compactness is the reciprocal of sum, that is, the value of compactness is between 0 and 1. The greater the compactness, the closer this node is to all other nodes, and the smaller the distance.

3. Intermediate centrality: A point is located on the shortest path of many nodes connected in pairs in the network, just like a "throat artery". If the shortest path connecting two nodes A and B must pass through point C, the mediation centrality of C will increase by 1. If A and B have multiple shortest paths, and some of the shortest paths do not pass through C, then the mediacy of C will not increase.
