That is about as generic a definition as it gets. That whole datailed out definition screams "node = Networked device with wires"... could literally be just about anything in the damned vehicle these days ...

Descriptions like these are exactly why most certified morons these days can't find their way out of a paper-bag when they go tru all that cert. training. ...lol

Not trying to insult anyone ... Just pointing out that over-techiical stupified fancy-talk definitions and descriptions like these .. found in books etc.. by technical writers and people who make these standards ... that kind of info is completely useless to the guy who owns his equipment and is simply trying to find where to look towards what is wrong.


-- One of the most horrible standards these days related to automotive is the J1939 technical standards definitions and manuals on how the protocols etc.. operate... Every single technical manual and definition related to J1939 is completely whacked up so badly with over-zealous technical-fancy-talk complete garbage that no normal human being can even read it to get an understanding on how the protocol works without scratching their heads every other word .... EVEN THOUGH it is not nearly as complicated as those books and manuals would have someone believe... I think most of this kind of over-the-top, over-descriptive, gotta throw in about 40 technical fancy words to make it sound more important than it is, complicated descriptive garbage is coming straight out of those communist 'Woke-gender-derranged" colleges these days.

Most of what I have been seeing lately is horrible... it is like someone describing the atomic details and anatomy of something seriously complicated, having its bindings, adhere-ratio, oil-bonding, adhesion layers, special hydration retaining layers .. and their trying to tell you with as much fancy-talk and technical speak as they can to make themselves sound like some kind of super-scientist ... and all along they are trying to tell you how to make a goddamn simple cheese sandwich. -- I see is as another modern form of narcissism.

just my own opinions, no one has to agree.
