  2. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    Network topology is the arrangement of the elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a communication network. [1] [2] Network topology can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command and control radio networks, [3] industrial fieldbusses and computer networks.

  3. PSTN network topology - Wikipedia

    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 ...

    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.

  7. Network layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_layer

    The network layer provides the means of transferring variable-length network packets from a source to a destination host via one or more networks. Within the service layering semantics of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) network architecture, the network layer responds to service requests from the transport layer and issues service requests to the data link layer.

  8. Hub (network science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hub_(network_science)

    In network science, a hub is a node with a number of links that greatly exceeds the average. Emergence of hubs is a consequence of a scale-free property of networks. [1]: 27 While hubs cannot be observed in a random network, they are expected to emerge in scale-free networks.

  9. Access network - Wikipedia
