  2. Star network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_network

    The star network is one of the most common computer network topologies. The hub and hosts, and the transmission lines between them, form a graph with the topology of a star. Data on a star network passes through the hub before continuing to its destination. The hub manages and controls all functions of the network.

  3. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    A physical extended star topology in which repeaters are replaced with hubs or switches is a type of hybrid network topology and is referred to as a physical hierarchical star topology, although some texts make no distinction between the two topologies. A physical hierarchical star topology can also be referred as a tier-star topology.

  4. Tree network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_network

    Tree network. Tree network topology. A tree topology, or star-bus topology, is a hybrid network topology in which star networks are interconnected via bus networks. [1][2] Tree networks are hierarchical, and each node can have an arbitrary number of child nodes.

  5. Hierarchical network model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_network_model

    Network science. Hierarchical network models are iterative algorithms for creating networks which are able to reproduce the unique properties of the scale-free topology and the high clustering of the nodes at the same time. These characteristics are widely observed in nature, from biology to language to some social networks.

  7. PSTN network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSTN_network_topology

    PSTN network topology is the switching network topology of a telephone network connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN).. In the United States and Canada, the Bell System network topology was the switching system hierarchy implemented and operated from c. 1930 to the 1980s for the purpose of integrating the diverse array of local telephone companies and telephone numbering ...

  8. Wireless mesh network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network

    A wireless mesh network (WMN) is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. It can also be a form of wireless ad hoc network. [1] A mesh refers to rich interconnection among devices or nodes. Wireless mesh networks often consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways. Mobility of nodes is less frequent.

  9. Internet backbone - Wikipedia

    Internet backbone. Each line is drawn between two nodes, representing two IP addresses. This is a small look at the backbone of the Internet. The Internet backbone is the principal data routes between large, strategically interconnected computer networks and core routers of the Internet. These data routes are hosted by commercial, government ...
