Local Hosts

Local hosts refer to computers or devices within a private network, such as a home or office, that can interact directly with each other without needing an internet connection. They are assigned unique local IP addresses and enable sharing of files, printers, or resources within the network. Essentially, local hosts form the core infrastructure allowing devices to communicate securely and efficiently in a confined environment, separate from external internet traffic. This setup enhances privacy and speeds up data exchange, making it ideal for collaborative work or resource sharing within a secured local area network.
