A network topology is the logical structure of a communication network
consisting of a large number of nodes (e.g., hosts and switches/routers) and
links connecting among those nodes. Every communication network (e.g.,
Ethernet-based networks, TCP/IP networks, wireless networks, DTN
(Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Networking), and ICN (Information-Centric
Networking)) has a different network topology, depending on the features and
capabilities of nodes (e.g., the maximum number of ports/interfaces and the
tolerance to a network loop) and links (e.g., unidirectional/bidirectional,
wired/wireless, and the maximum length) as well as several physical
restrictions and usage patterns. Since a network topology is a sort of
graphs, in the literature, it has been actively studied from theoretical and
mathematical viewpoints in the field of graph theory and recently in the
field of network science. In a communication network, not only the
characteristics of the network topology itself (e.g., size, density, degree
distribution, diameter, and connectivity), but the characteristics of
communications performed on it (e.g., speed, quality, efficiency,
availability, and reliability) are also important. This paper introduces
four research topics recently published by our research group, each of which
reveals the impact of the network topology on the characteristics of a
dynamical process such as information search, delivery, and diffusion in a
different context. |
