  2. Computer network diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network_diagram

    For example, the sample diagram does not indicate the physical type of connection between the PCs and the switch, but since a modern LAN is depicted, Ethernet may be assumed. If the same style of line was used in a WAN (wide area network) diagram, however, it may indicate a different type of connection.

  3. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    A network's logical topology is not necessarily the same as its physical topology. For example, the original twisted pair Ethernet using repeater hubs was a logical bus topology carried on a physical star topology. Token Ring is a logical ring topology, but is wired as a physical star from the media access unit.

  4. Network diagram software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_diagram_software

    Broadly, there are four types of tools that help create network maps and diagrams: Hybrid tools; Network Mapping tools; Network Monitoring tools; Drawing tools; Network mapping and drawing software support IT systems managers to understand the hardware and software services on a network and how they are interconnected. Network maps and diagrams ...

  5. 4+1 architectural view model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4+1_architectural_view_model

    The four views of the model are logical, development, process, and physical view. In addition, selected use cases or scenarios are used to illustrate the architecture serving as the 'plus one' view. Hence, the model contains 4+1 views: [1] Logical view: The logical view is concerned with the functionality that the system provides to end-users.

  6. IEEE 802 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802

    IEEE 802 divides the OSI data link layer into two sub-layers: logical link control (LLC) and medium access control (MAC), as follows: Data link layer. LLC sublayer; MAC sublayer; Physical layer; Everything above LLC is explicitly out of scope for IEEE 802 (as "upper layer protocols", presumed to be parts of equally non-OSI Internet reference ...

  7. Service set (802.11 network) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_set_(802.11_network)

    (For example, all of the devices that together form and use a Wi‑Fi network called "Foo" are a service set.) A service set forms a logical network of nodes operating with shared link-layer networking parameters; they form one logical network segment. A service set is either a basic service set (BSS) or an extended service set (ESS).

  8. Network architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_architecture

    There are a number of specific classifications but all lie on a continuum between the dumb network (e.g. the Internet) and the intelligent network (e.g. the PSTN). A popular example of such usage of the term in distributed applications, as well as permanent virtual circuits, is the organization of nodes in peer-to-peer (P2P) services and networks.

  9. OSI model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

    OSI was an industry effort, attempting to get industry participants to agree on common network standards to provide multi-vendor interoperability. [17] It was common for large networks to support multiple network protocol suites, with many devices unable to interoperate with other devices because of a lack of common protocols.
