Talk:End system

Hosts
From the wikipedia entry: End systems are also referred to as hosts; this is because they host (run) Internet applications such as a web browser or an email retrieval program.

I am not sure about this. I thought network connections were historically made between minis or even mainframes, which hosted their slew of terminals or services, hence the name host to distinguish them from the routing hardware, the routers.


 * Things were different early on and we may want to describe that. We now rarely use serial-connected terminals so the user now directly interacts with the host, not a terminal connected to a host. ~Kvng (talk) 14:46, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
