Hi Vladimir,

 PK> Is that what you were looking for?

 VD> Yes, it is!

 VD> distribute mail) may exist.

Yep, that sounds like it. Remember that policy refers to a HUB as "One
who agrees to route for all if they route for any", so that is a
classic "pass-through" node, while an end point does not route...

 VD> Problem was in translation - in Russian word "узел" 
 VD> (translate - "node") have only 2-th way, without first

Ahaaaa, I see the confusion..

 VD> Please, send me URL if this dictionary place in Internet.

Sorry, it only exists in old fashioned plain printed material.......;-)

However you may find this one useful "www.m-w.com". A search on
"node" there returned several hits, no 5. gives a fairly similar
meaning.

Cheers........pk.
