It's not a stupid question. I has me laughing, but not at you.
Cisco uses the word "pod" as a group of routers and switches in a lab or
training class. In a training class, each group of students works on one pod.
But nobody else uses the word that way!?
I just finished writing some information on pods in the protocol analysis
world. In that case, a pod is an extra little thingie (technical term) that
helps the analyzer get on the network. With full-duplex links, for example,
if you don't want to break the link and put in a shared hub for attaching
the analyzer, you can get a so-called pod that leaves the link at
full-duplex traffic and buffers traffic before sending it to the analyzer.
These pods are costly.
