  2. Ring network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_network

    A ring network is a network topology in which each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each node – a ring. Data travels from node to node, with each node along the way handling every packet.

  3. Grid network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_network

    Network systems such as FDDI use two counter-rotating token-passing rings to achieve high reliability and performance. In general, when an n -dimensional grid network is connected circularly in more than one dimension, the resulting network topology is a torus , and the network is called "toroidal".

  4. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    Ring network topology. A ring topology is a daisy chain in a closed loop. Data travels around the ring in one direction. When one node sends data to another, the data passes through each intermediate node on the ring until it reaches its destination. The intermediate nodes repeat (retransmit) the data to keep the signal strong. [5]

  5. Channel access method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_access_method

    Examples of shared physical media are wireless networks, bus networks, ring networks and point-to-point links operating in half-duplex mode. A channel access method is based on multiplexing, which allows several data streams or signals to share the same communication channel or transmission medium.

  6. Ethernet Ring Protection Switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_Ring_Protection...

    A ring link is bounded by two adjacent Ethernet Ring Nodes, and a port for a ring link is called a ring port. The minimum number of Ethernet Ring Nodes in an Ethernet Ring is three. [1] The fundamentals of this ring protection switching architecture are: The principle of loop avoidance.

  7. Digital cross-connect system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_cross-connect_system

    A digital cross-connect system (DCS or DXC) is a piece of circuit-switched network equipment, used in telecommunications networks, that allows lower-level TDM bit streams, such as DS0 bit streams, to be rearranged and interconnected among higher-level TDM signals, such as DS1 bit streams.

  8. Multiprotocol Label Switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprotocol_Label_Switching

    Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a routing technique in telecommunications networks that directs data from one node to the next based on labels rather than network addresses. [1]

  9. Star network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_network

    Star topology in use in a network. A star network is an implementation of a spoke–hub distribution paradigm in computer networks.In a star network, every host is connected to a central hub.
