1. The intermediate nodes may choose to cache the document along the way. 2. The remaining nodes ( cities ) that are to be visited are intermediate nodes . 3. Moreover, hop-by-hop transport requires per-flow state information at intermediate nodes , which limits its scalability. 4. The intermediate nodes repeat ( re transmit ) the data to keep the signal strong. 5. In transshipment, transportation may or must go through intermediate nodes , possibly changing modes of transport. 6. A possible variation is to introduce additional memories for each intermediate node in the discrimination network. 7. The intermediate nodes hear this ACK and stop further transmission followed by the purging of packets in the buffer. 8. Mail could furthermore be routed through the network, traversing any number of intermediate nodes before arriving at its destination. 9. In a mesh network, when nodes get too far apart to communicate directly, they can still communicate indirectly through intermediate nodes . 10. When one node sends data to another, the data passes through each intermediate node on the ring until it reaches its destination.
