Christopher,

So it mean almost all the nodes replying to the routing messages will
be mentioned as router.
For eg: As we were discussing before, only some routing protocols like
OLSR support Multicast so only in that case you will have much
difference for a router and a node. In other cases all the nodes helps
in message unicasts and broadcasts so they all have to be mentioned as
router.

I may define a router as the node which runs a routing protocol in it,
then updates the routing information and send the routing informations
to other nodes. So here In those protocols which doesnot support
multicast every node acts as router.
