The second is a two dimension torus, in the shape of a 'doughnut'. The animation illustrates how a two dimension torus is generated from a rectangle by connecting its two pairs of opposite edges. At one dimension, a torus topology is equivalent to a ring interconnect network, in the shape of a circle. At two dimensions, it becomes equivalent to ...
The fat tree network is a universal network for provably efficient communication. [1] It was invented by Charles E. Leiserson of the MIT in 1985. [ 1 ] k-ary n-trees, the type of fat-trees commonly used in most high-performance networks, were initially formalized in 1997.
A fully connected network, complete topology, or full mesh topology is a network topology in which there is a direct link between all pairs of nodes. In a fully connected network with n nodes, there are () direct links. Networks designed with this topology are usually very expensive to set up, but provide a high degree of reliability due to the ...
In the field of telecommunications, a Clos network is a kind of multistage circuit-switching network which represents a theoretical idealization of practical, multistage switching systems. It was invented by Edson Erwin [ 1 ] in 1938 and first formalized by the American [ 2 ] engineer Charles Clos [ 3 ] in 1952.
Bisection of linear array network. For ring topology with n nodes two links should be broken to bisect the network, so bisection bandwidth becomes bandwidth of two links. Bisection of a ring network. For tree topology with n nodes can be bisected at the root by breaking one link, so bisection bandwidth is one link bandwidth. Bisection of a tree ...
In the context of network theory a scale-free ideal network is a random network with a degree distribution following the scale-free ideal gas density distribution. These networks are able to reproduce city-size distributions and electoral results by unraveling the size distribution of social groups with information theory on complex networks ...
A wireless ad hoc network does not have fixed topology, and its connectivity among nodes is totally dependent on the behavior of the devices, their mobility patterns, distance with each other, etc. Hence, wireless mesh networks are a particular type of wireless ad hoc networks, with special emphasis on the resultant network topology.
Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) is a data network protocol standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission as IEC 62439-2. It allows rings of Ethernet switches to overcome any single failure with recovery time much faster than achievable with Spanning Tree Protocol . [ 1 ]
