The Host field contains the programmed Domain Name of each router. It can be used to help identify who owns each router. If the Domain Name is kept up-to-date by its owner, you can actually resolve to the IP address by pinging it. Be careful, if the domain name is not kept updated, the domain name my actually resolve to a different IP address.
