Interface Node

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public interface Node
extends java.lang.Runnable

A Node is uniquely identified by a NodeID and can satisfy an identity test constructed using its public key. That is, it can prove that it holds the private key materials corresponding to the public key. XXX A Node also participates in some number of Overlays and will XXX usually have a number of Peers. This interface needs to be XXX elaborated.
