1.3.3 Terminology

Term	Definition
Address	The identity of one or more elements in one or more nodes.
Configuration Client	A node that implements the Configuration Client model.
Destination	The address to which a message is sent.
Device	An entity that is capable of being provisioned onto a mesh network.
Element	An addressable entity within a device. A device is required to have at least one element.
Message	A sequence of octets that is sent from a source to a destination.
Neighbors	Nodes in direct radio range (single hop).
Network	A group of nodes sharing a common address space.
Node	A provisioned device.
Provision	The process of authenticating and providing basic information (including unicast addresses and a network key) to a device. A device must be provisioned to become a node. Once provisioned, a node can transmit or receive messages in a mesh network.
Provisioner	A node that is capable of adding a device to a mesh network.
Relay	A node that receives and then retransmits messages.
Source	The address from which a message is sent.
State	A value representing a condition of an element that is exposed by an element of a node.
Subnet	A group of nodes that can communicate with each other.
