Important Points

Network topology:

  • Graphs have some properties that are very useful when unraveling the information that they contain.
  • It is important to realize that the purpose of any type of network analysis is to work with the complexity of the network to extract meaningful information that you would not have if the individual components were examined separately.
  • Network properties, and particularly topological properties, can help us identify relevant sub-structures within a network.
  • Topology is the way in which the nodes and edges are arranged within a network.
  • Topological properties can apply to the network as a whole or to individual nodes and edges. 

Key Points

  1. Nodes: The nodes represent different entities (e.g. proteins or genes in biological networks)
  2. Edges: The edges convey information about the links between the nodes. 
  3. Diameters: The diameter of a graph is the maximum eccentricity of any vertex in the graph. That is, it is the greatest distance between any pair of vertices. The diameter of a network is defined as the longest path of the shortest path between any two nodes. For example, the diameter of a 4x4 mesh D = 6

In the above image, the number of vertices is 10, no of edges is 10 and the diameter is 7.

Your network uses TCP/IP as the only network protocol. Devices on the network are configured to use IP address from the private 10.0.0.0 range. All the client computers on the network runs Windows 2000 Professional. The network includes Windows 2000 Server computers and UNIX servers. User's print jobs are sent to shared printers on a Windows 2000 Server computer named PrintServ that directs the print jobs to print devices attached directly to the network. You have a high-capacity print device that is attached to one of the UNIX servers. The UNIX computer uses the LPR printing protocol, and it's IP address is 10.1.1.99. The name of the printer queue is GIANT. You want users to be able to connect to this printer from their computers. What should you do?
