skater

In network terminology, a "skater" typically refers to a network device or endpoint, often a computer or user device, that operates outside the core network infrastructure. It may have limited access, often isolated for security reasons, and can be frequently monitored or managed separately. The term is sometimes used to describe devices that are not fully integrated into the organization’s main network, such as guest computers or IoT devices, requiring special handling to ensure security and proper functioning within network policies.
