Network topology: Links, Nodes & Classification

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

How Network topology connects Entity context

The extracted context around Network topology shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, Network topology → ARINC, CAN, In, Network, NICs, Nodes, Other, RS-232, Some, While Another extracted example is Network topology → arrangement of the elements, topological structure of a network and may be depicted physically or logically. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
