🧊Node Guide

In the Aethir network ecosystem, the node is a key element in its operation. Nodes play an essential role in maintaining the integrity, performance and overall functionality of the network.

What is a node?

In the Aethir network, a node is a computing device or software unit that is involved in network operations. These processes may vary according to the specific type of node and its role in the ecosystem. Basically, however, a node acts as an essential element in facilitating communication, processing and validation within the network.

Key elements in the Aethir Network

Checker Node
  • A Checker Node is responsible for ensuring the integrity and performance of containers within the Aethir network.

  • It verifies container specifications provided by container suppliers in order to maintain network quality of service (QoS).

  • Checker Nodes use various methods such as Heartbeat collection, Benchmark testing and Link data analysis to fulfill their responsibilities.

Containers
  • Essential to the Aethir network, they form the basis for the use of cloud services.

  • Virtual endpoints: Responsible for running and displaying applications, they guarantee an immediate, responsive cloud computing experience.

  • Zero lag: achieved by transferring the workload from local devices to containers, optimizing performance.

Indexer
  • Essential components of the Aethir network, they help to connect consumers with the right containers.

  • Quick launch: Ensure rapid deployment of cloud-based applications and services, for a smooth transition from demand to delivery.

  • Efficient scheduling: Get near-instantaneous service through concise signaling and optimized scheduling methods.

Node functions

The nodes in the Aethir network perform a variety of functions essential to its operation and maintenance. These key functions include

  • Verification and validation: Nodes verify the integrity and specifications of containers, ensuring compliance with network standards and quality requirements.

  • Processing and execution: Container nodes execute applications and services, processing user requests and providing real-time results.

  • Resource allocation: Indexing nodes allocate resources efficiently, matching user requests with available container capacity to optimize performance.

  • Reward distribution: Control nodes participate in reward distribution mechanisms, earning tokens for their contributions to network validation and maintenance.
