A full node connects to the Bitcoin network, maintains the blockchain, and relays memory pool transactions traffic based on policies.
Consensus
Nodes other than the original client risk creating a hard fork if widely deployed and not following the consensus code as implemented in the original client 100% (bug-for-bug). There is no documented standard for Bitcoin consensus, so presently the implementation is considered the de facto standard.
The original client consensus code is maintained as a sub-library called libbitcoinconsensus within the client's source code.[1] A clone of the original client consensus code is maintained as a standalone library called libbitcoin-consensus as part of the Libbitcoin development toolkit.
