Hosts, as related to computer networking are computers that have complete two-way access to other computers across the Internet.
Direct Connection, Connection Through an Integrated Router, and a Connection Through a Gateway Device.

At Layer 3 of the OSI model, hosts are identified using IP addresses, which provide a unique numerical label for each device on a network. An IP address consists of a network portion, which identifies the specific network, and a host portion, which identifies the individual device within that network. This structure allows routers to efficiently route packets of data between different networks and hosts. Additionally, IPv4 and IPv6 are the two primary versions of IP addresses used in networking today.
A switch can be connected to the router using a crossover cable, to add more hosts to the network.
Any computer which is connected to network and has unique ip address for the network.

Large numbers of hosts on a single network:Actual Data OverheadA big part of the overhead is broadcasts.In this context, each network is called a broadcast domain.Switches forward broadcasts to each device connected to a switch port.If we can reduce broadcast overhead, it would improve performance on the network.

well if you are talking about networking devices this would be the answer to your question. ^end devices usually refer to a piece of equipment that is either the source or the destination of a message on a network. -computers, including workstations, laptops, and servers connected to a network -network printers, Voice Over IP (voip) phones -camera on a network, including web cams and security cameras ^intermediary devices connect the individual hosts such as -switches -modems -routers -and even firewalls can be considered an intermediary device because they analyze traffic exiting and entering a network Note: A hub is NOT considered an intermediary device because it does not make forwarding decisions.
