I need a term that would cover a group of hosts on an NBMA network
with a router on the NBMA network that would act as the last hop router
for these hosts. The group of hosts may form a subset of all the 
hosts connected to the NBMA network. So, an NBMA network may have
more than one APR (more than one address prefix), but each APR
would have exactly one address prefix.
