Leaf Node: A leaf node is a PakBus device that exists at which is used to reference an element in order to other devices. The leaf node can only send and receive packets meant for known devices. It can 't route packets to a neighbor node and the exchange is directly connected to communicate with each other. After a successful hello exchange, the nodes establish each other as a neighbor.
