[ih] seeking aggregate RFC term for "host or gateway"

Hi, all,

I'm in the process of completing an RFC on tunneling in the Internet,
and need to be able to cite an RFC-based term that refers to "host or
gateway".

I originally considered "network node" to be obvious, but that term
appears in early (two-digit) RFCs to refer only to relays (precursors to
gateways), as distinct from hosts.

Does anyone know if there is a term that refers to both hosts (sources
and sinks of datagrams) and gateways (relays of datagrams) as s a set?

Thanks,

Joe
