A TERMINAL network is a type of computer network that consists of nodes, or endpoints, connected to each other. The nodes are usually computers, but can also be other types of devices such as printers or scanners. Each NODE in the network is connected to one or more other nodes, allowing data to be sent and received between them. The term 'TERMINAL' refers to the fact that the nodes are the endpoints of the network, meaning that no further connections can be made beyond them.
