Kind of incomplete question.
There are many types of nodes and I explained them in many of my guides.
Seems that many people still do not know them and I will try to list them here, because are many differences:
- Main Bitcoin Core nodes
- Just running a Bitcoin Core on a simple PC, for personal use, with limited connections
- Running a public Core node with more than 10 outbound connections, good bandwidth, stable that will serve for many other small nodes to sync
- Core + LN nodes
- PUBLIC routing nodes
- LN banks, kind of mixed public and private LN node, serving multiple users
- LSP kind of LN bank serving liquidity for private users and routing it to public channels
- PRIVATE non-routing nodes
a. desktop private nodes
b. mobile private nodes
I've explained the LN topology here: #486306
Do you want me to enter in more details from here ?
OK but first please read all the guides I wrote about nodes:
