Abstract

In this chapter, we will investigate techniques for the analysis and design of network topology. Much of the information presented will be used in Chap. 10 for design and analysis. Before taking up topology, however, it would be prudent to determine when the use of broadband or baseband is the more advantageous since the decision will impact on topology and may simplify the analysis to some extent. This chapter will also provide local area network analysis and their applications to common networks.
