Complete Network Topology
Network Topology refers to layout of a network. How different nodes in a network are connected to each other and how they communicate is determined by the network's topology.
Network Topology refers to layout of a network and how different nodes in a network are connected to each other and how they communicate. Topologies are either physical (the physical layout of devices on a network) or logical (the way that the signals act on the network media, or the way that the data passes through the network from one device to the next).
Network topology recognizes eight basic topologies:
- Point-to-point Topology,
- Bus Topology,
- Star Topology,
- Ring or circular Topology,
- Mesh Topology,
- Tree Topology,
- Hybrid Topology,
- Daisy chain Topology.
Example 1. Complete Network Topology
This sample was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software using the Computer and Networks solution from Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
This sample shows the complete network topology or fully connected network topology.
A complete (fully connected) 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 n(n-1)/2 direct links. Networks designed with this topology are usually very expensive to set up, but provide a high degree of reliability due to the multiple paths for data that are provided by the large number of redundant links between nodes.

Even if you design a network for yourself, you still might need a network diagram software to do it in a convenient way. Your laptop, or PC, a smartphone and a router form a home area network, which might be very small, but has to fulfill all your requirements. A schematic diagram will help you to arrange all the cables and network devices in a proper way.
This wireless network diagram is made to describe the home-area network system. This diagram shows the typical wireless network organization in a private house or condominium. It consists from computers and gadgets that use wireless connections. The diagram is created using the ConceptDraw Computer Networks Diagrams solution. It is a rather common diagram that features icons depicting Wi-Fi point, router, media gadgets and periphery with connections and routes that show the flow of data.

Database structures are usually described by ER-diagrams which represents entities as boxes with lines-connections between them. You can create any entity-relationship diagram (ERD) by means of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using ready-to-use templates and special libraries containing all the needed symbols and shapes. Creating a model for your database from now on can take just a few minutes.
ERD (entity relationship diagram) designed to show the logical structure of databases. It intended to depict the relationships between data components (entities). ERDs are a popular tool for software engineers and architects. Using ERD they can manage the every aspect of database design. Also ERD can be used as guidelines for testing and communications before software release. This diagram represents the file reference system of the WordPress web platform. Because entity relationship diagrams have such a broad application area through the prevalence of database technology, it can be applied for a wide range of users.

This sample shows the Hypercube network topology.
Network topology is the topological structure of the computer network.
Hypercube is a type of the toroidal network. The Torus is a topology with n-dimensional grid network with circularly connection of the nodes. If the number of nodes along each dimension of the toroidal network is 2, it is a Hypercube network topology.

The digital communication is a physical transfer of the data over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel. Channels can be copper wires, optical fibres, wireless communication channels, etc. The data are realized as electromagnetic signals (radiowave, microwave, electrical voltage, etc.).
This example was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park and shows the Digital Communication Network diagram.

A list of parameters on which networks differ is very long. A large network with a range up to 50 kilometers is called metropolitan area network (MAN), and this type of network can include several local area networks. Metropolitan networks in their turn connect into global area networks.
Here you will see a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). This is an extensive network which occupies a large territory including a few buildings or even the whole city. The space of the MAN is bigger than LAN, but lower than WAN. MAN comprise a lot of communication equipment and delivers the Internet connection to the LANs in the city area. Computer and Networks solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM provides a set of libraries with ready-to-use vector objects to design various kinds of computer networks.
