 ## Message
 Data format used in communication between peers. They can contain administrative data (like resolving a peer's name), or payload data (like element updates, creations etc.).
 
-## Peer
-Peers are actors within the `ubisync` network. They provide a way for apps to share data to other peers, manage and search it. A peer has exactly one active I2P identity at any given time.
+## Node
+Brigdes the gap between a peer in the `ubisync` network and apps wanting to interact with it. The node contains the peer, a means of storing data such as elements, permissions etc., and should expose an API for apps to use.
 
-In the common use case, a peer represents one device of a user, while the family represents the user himself (as the collection of all of his devices).
+Typically, each device of a user runs exactly one node.
