Detailed explanation-1: -All of the computers and printers on the network are called nodes of the network. If your personal computer is connected to a network, it is called a network workstation (note that this is different form the usage of the term workstation as a high-end microcomputer).
Detailed explanation-2: -Nodes are devices or data points on a larger network. Devices such as a personal computer, cell phone, or printer are nodes. When defining nodes on the internet, a node is anything that has an IP address. A network host is a computer or other device connected to a computer network.
