Node(configuration: FullNodeConfiguration, networkMapAddress: SingleMessageRecipient?, advertisedServices: Set<ServiceInfo>, clock: Clock = NodeClock())

A Node manages a standalone server that takes part in the P2P network. It creates the services found in ServiceHub, loads important data off disk and starts listening for connections.

Parameters

configuration - This is typically loaded from a TypeSafe HOCON configuration file.

networkMapAddress - An external network map service to use. Should only ever be null when creating the first network map service, while bootstrapping a network.

advertisedServices - The services this node advertises. This must be a subset of the services it runs, but nodes are not required to advertise services they run (hence subset).

clock - The clock used within the node and by all protocols etc.
