Network Topology

A network may be represented as a collection of notes, some of which are connected by links. A given node may have links to many others. Network topology is determined only by the configuration of connections between nodes; it is therefore a part of Graph theory. Distances between nodes, physical interconnections, transmission rates and/or signal types are not a matter of network topology, although they may be affected by it in an actual physical network.
