Someone pointed out to me that although I've been using the terms CEE and CES
as synonomous for the terms 'host-centric' and 'edge-centric' (and
'network-centric' completes the list), that for others they seemingly aren't
exactly synonomous, but subtly different.

Can someone confirm this, and explain what the differences are?

I'll be using 'host-centric', etc from now on. My apologies if I have
inadvertently caused any confusion by using them as synonyms for 'host-centric'
and 'edge-centric'.
