Manual: `F0af`_`[Transport Nodes and Instances ↗`a8d24177d946de4f1f0a0fe1af9a1338:/page/blob.mu`g=reticulum|r=reticulum|ref=HEAD|path=docs/markdown/networks.md|anchor=transport-nodes-and-instances]`_`f

An `!instance`! is an `F0af`_`[implementation of Reticulum`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Reticulum_Protocol|anchor=implementations]`_`f running on a system, making it a `F0af`_`[node`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Node]`_`f in a Reticulum network. Some instances may `*also`* be `F0af`_`[transport nodes`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Transport_node]`_`f and/or `F0af`_`[propagation nodes`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Propagation_node]`_`f.
