  2. Routing table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

    In computer networking, a routing table, or routing information base (RIB), is a data table stored in a router or a network host that lists the routes to particular network destinations, and in some cases, metrics (distances) associated with those routes. The routing table contains information about the topology of the network immediately ...

  3. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    A network's physical topology is a particular concern of the physical layer of the OSI model. Examples of network topologies are found in local area networks , a common computer network installation. Any given node in the LAN has one or more physical links to other devices in the network; graphically mapping these links results in a geometric ...

  4. Networking cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networking_cable

    Networking cable is a piece of networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share devices such as printers or scanners. Different types of network cables, such as coaxial cable , optical fiber cable , and twisted pair cables, are used depending on the network's topology ...

  5. Network on a chip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_on_a_chip

    The message traverses hops, and each hop's channel length depends on the topology. The topology significantly influences both latency and power consumption. Furthermore, since the topology determines the number of alternative paths between nodes, it affects the network traffic distribution, and hence the network bandwidth and performance ...

  6. OSI model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

    The components of a physical layer can be described in terms of the network topology. Physical layer specifications are included in the specifications for the ubiquitous Bluetooth, Ethernet, and USB standards. An example of a less well-known physical layer specification would be for the CAN standard.

  7. Topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology

    A three-dimensional model of a figure-eight knot.The figure-eight knot is a prime knot and has an Alexander–Briggs notation of 4 1.. Topology (from the Greek words τόπος, 'place, location', and λόγος, 'study') is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling ...

  8. Fat tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_tree

    In August 2008, a team of computer scientists at UCSD published a scalable design for network architecture [9] that uses a topology inspired by the fat tree topology to realize networks that scale better than those of previous hierarchical networks. The architecture uses commodity switches that are cheaper and more power-efficient than high-end ...

  9. List of topologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_topologies

    The following is a list of named topologies or topological spaces, many of which are counterexamples in topology and related branches of mathematics. This is not a list of properties that a topology or topological space might possess; for that, see List of general topology topics and Topological property.
