network node
A Systems Network
Architecture (SNA) intermediate node that provides connectivity, directory
services, route selection, intermediate session routing, data transport, and
network management services to low-entry networking (LEN) nodes and end nodes
(ENs). The NN contains a control point (CP) that manages the resources of both
the NN itself and those of the ENs and LEN nodes in its domain. NNs provide
intermediate routing services by implementing the Advanced Peer-to-Peer
Networking (APPN) PU 2.1 extensions. Compare with EN. See also
CP.
