		scheduled to occur when a node is still offline and are only used once.
		They are intended to establish a connection or to log into a remote
		device. No other Map Descriptors are polled until the ARS Map
		Descriptors complete normally.

2.4.3.Node Overview - Operating Statistics Aspect

Node statistics are a roll-up of all the statistics maintained by the Map Descriptors which belong to the node. For example, if three Map Descriptors belong to a single node, then each time a message is sent for each Map Descriptor, the statistics for the Map Descriptor, the node and the connection are updated.
