No one ever said it was people. We're talking about communication between two nodes that is simply facilitated by intermediary nodes. Your own source supports the argument, I think you should reread it.
- itake 9y agoNode 1 would be my laptop. Node 2 would be the server. Intermediary nodes would be the various routers, switches, and other networking devices that inspects the traffic between the two nodes. so my own source supports my question. nodes do not need to be "humans"
- kakarot 9y agoToo bad that has nothing to do with the topic at hand, namely end-to-end communication between two individually-operated clients.
