It could be said that the most "local" host is the machine you are typing on, but that realization is not always implicit in the design of the protocol you are using. Also, computers on the same physical network can be considered local, as can be considered computers within the same address space - it really depends on your definition of "local" and "remote".
If you're thinking about "geographical locality", IP address groups are assigned to countries, and then sometimes subdivided into states or cities, where applicable and possible, and there exist services on the World Wide Web that access this publicly available information in order to provide at least a rough approximation of the host's geographical localization.
However, the most common idea thought about when speaking of "local" and "remote" hosts, is the idea of logical network placing - ie. a computer will be considered "local" if it belongs to the same address space (in this case, the IP/mask calculation will be performed, and will include any specific routing information, to arrive at a conclusion).
Also, any computer you are connecting to can be considered the "remote host" - even your own! That is simply because the "other end" of a connection can be called "remote" just because it's on the other side of said connection (in this case, just the connection itself will differentiate the two sides of it). As I've pointed out above, it really depends on your definition of "local" and "remote".
It is also worth keeping in mind that from the perspective of the computer you're trying to contact, you are the remote host!

Why do routers use anding?
ANDing is used by a router, to see if the host which has to be contacted, is on the local network of the router, or a remote network.
What is used to determine whether a remote computer is on the same network or a remote network?
subnet mask
What type of VPN is used to establish protected remote connections?
Host-to-site VPN
The word we used to send data from a local computer to a remote computer?
The transmission of data from a local computer to remote computer is called "UPLOADING"
Which two items are used by a host device when performing an ANDing operation to determine if a destination address is on the same local network?
subnet mask destination IP address
What does local host mean in computer networking?
A local host in computer networking refers to the actual computer you are operating. Local host is a term used to refer to the computer itself if ever necessary.
Can the MMC can be used to manipulate services and objects in local and remote systems?
True
The MMC can be used to manipulate services and objects in local and remote systems?

Is a terminal emulation protocol used to log on to remote host using the tcp ip protocol suite?
telnet
What is a router on the local network that is used to deliver packets to a remote network?
Default gateway
What can the PING command be used to determine?
if the host or piece of equiptment is reachable accross the network
What address is used by a local host when you need to forward packets to the host on a different subnet?
When forwarding packets to a host on a different subnet, the local host uses the address of the default gateway, which is typically a router within the same subnet. The default gateway serves as an intermediary that routes traffic from the local subnet to other subnets. This address is configured in the network settings of the local host. Packets destined for outside the local subnet are sent to this default gateway for further routing.
