- Network node or host identifier. Addresses on a network are intended to be completely unique identifiers for every device connected to that network.
- Network attached storage (NAS)
- File-level storage that is networked to facilitate data access and file sharing in a distributed client/server architecture is known as network-attached storage (NAS).
- Network host
- Any network-accessible device that is is what we call a host.
