EP stands for End Point.
HostInfo corresponds to an aggregation of nodes, running within a same program
instance. Think of them as “physical”, macro entities, as opposed to nodes
which are much more virtual and small. A given host will typically have
several nodes to power, all of them going through the same addresses (http etc.).
LocalHost is a host for which this instance of the program
is responsible.
Node is an element of a ring.
A remote host, for which this program instance is not responsible.
