Node agents
Node agents are administrative agents that route administrative requests to servers.
A node agent is a server that runs on every host computer system that participates in the ND configuration. It is purely an administrative agent and is not involved in application-serving functions. A node agent also hosts other important administrative functions such as file transfer services, configuration synchronization, and performance monitoring.
