An important aspect of a computer network is the naming scheme of the hosts on the network.

Large networks often use a systematic naming scheme, such as using the department plus computer purpose to generate a name. For example, a web server for a marketing department may be called "marwww01".

However, smaller networks will frequently use a more personalized naming scheme to keep track of the many hosts. Popular naming schemes include trees, planets, rocks, etc.
