Network topology is the arrangement of the elements (links, nodes, etc.)
of a communication network. Network topology can be used to define or describe
the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including
command and control radio networks, industrial fieldbusses and computer
networks.
Network topology is the topological structure of a network and may be depicted
physically or logically. It is an application of graph theory wherein
communicating devices are modeled as nodes and the connections between the
devices are modeled as links or lines between the nodes. Physical topology
is the placement of the various components of a network (e.g.
