Given the topology shown in Figure 1-2, the Open Directory function for listing registered nodes (dsGetDirNodeList) might return the following list:

/NetInfo/root/AppleMarketing

/NetInfo/root/AppleEngineering

/NetInfo/root/ApplePublications

/LDAPv3/private.example.com

/LDAPv3/public.example.com

The first part of the node name (LDAPv3 and NetInfo in this example) is the name of the plug-in that handles that node.
