Abstract
This chapter focuses on a basic network component, Node. In NS2, a Node acts as a computer host (e.g., a source or a destination) and a router (e.g., an intermediate node). It receives packets from an attached application or an upstream object, and forwards them to the attached links specified in the routing table (as a router) or delivers them from/to transport layer agents (as a host).
