String_Type is not suitable for sending over the network, so why not simply use 
Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String for the string value in type Node? You're 
going to have to construct the sequence of bytes to go over the network in 
either case.

A consistent coding and naming style, and a lot fewer occurrences of the 
sequence [t|T]ype would make your code easier to read.
