  2. Mesh networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking

    Mesh topology may be contrasted with conventional star/tree local network topologies in which the bridges/switches are directly linked to only a small subset of other bridges/switches, and the links between these infrastructure neighbours are hierarchical. While star-and-tree topologies are very well established, highly standardized and vendor ...

  3. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    A physical extended star topology in which repeaters are replaced with hubs or switches is a type of hybrid network topology and is referred to as a physical hierarchical star topology, although some texts make no distinction between the two topologies. A physical hierarchical star topology can also be referred as a tier-star topology.

  4. Very-small-aperture terminal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very-small-aperture_terminal

    A star topology, using a central uplink site, such as a network operations center (NOC), to transport data back and forth to each VSAT via satellite, A mesh topology, where each VSAT relays data via satellite to another terminal by acting as a hub, minimizing the need for a centralized uplink site, A combination of both star and mesh topologies.

  5. Comparison of topologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_topologies

    The finest topology on X is the discrete topology; this topology makes all subsets open. The coarsest topology on X is the trivial topology; this topology only admits the empty set and the whole space as open sets. In function spaces and spaces of measures there are often a number of possible topologies.

  6. Wireless ad hoc network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_ad_hoc_network

    Hence, wireless mesh networks are a particular type of wireless ad hoc networks, with special emphasis on the resultant network topology. While some wireless mesh networks (particularly those within a home) have relatively infrequent mobility and thus infrequent link breaks, other more mobile mesh networks require frequent routing adjustments ...

  7. Z-Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Wave

    Z-Wave LR devices operate on a star network topology that features the hub at a central point and then establishes a direct connection to each device, rather than sending signals from node to node until the intended destination is met, as in a mesh network. The key difference between a star network and a mesh network is the direct hub-to-device ...

  8. Zigbee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zigbee

    It can establish a network, allocate addresses, and add and remove devices. This layer makes use of star, mesh and tree topologies. The data entity of the transport layer creates and manages protocol data units at the direction of the application layer and performs routing according to the current topology. The control entity handles the ...

  9. Star network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_network

    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. In its simplest form, one central hub acts as a conduit to transmit messages. [1] The star network is one of the most common computer network topologies.
