Network topology refers to the shape of a network, i.e. how different nodes in a network are connected to each other and how do they communicate. The primary function of a network is to exchange information among the nodes in the network and the network topology is one of the determining factors of the performance of a network. It is impractical to directly connect each pair of nodes in the network, also due to the hardware and software used in the network, the problem of designing network topologies is concerned with many constraints, for example, the limitation of the number of connections attached to every node, the limitation of the number of intermediate nodes on the communication route between any two given nodes.
It is customary to model a network topology by a graph, then these constrains correspond to various properties of the graph. For example, the above mentioned constrains correspond to the degree of a vertex and the distance between two nodes in graph theory terms. In this way, we transfer the problem of constructing an efficient network topology into the problem of constructing graphs with various desired properties.
Many interesting graphs have been proposed, such as Moore graph, Cages, Ex graph etc. For more details, see the Dynamic Survey for more details.
Graph labelling of a graph G is a mapping f that sends some set of graph elements to a set of numbers (usually positive or non-negative integers) such that the vertex weight and/or the edge weight of the induces graph has some special properties. Labelled graphs serve as useful models for a broad range of applications such as: coding theory, x-ray crystallography, radar, astronomy, circuit design, communication network addressing and data base management.
Over the past three decades many variations of labelling have evolved and many papers have been written on the subject of graph labelling, see the Dynamic Survey for more details.
Several factors have to be taken into account in the design of interconnection networks, such as
∗ Communication delays between processors must be short, the graph must have a small diameter or mean distance.
∗ The number of processors directly connected to a given processor is limited; the graph has a given maximum degree.
∗ The routing of the message must be simple and distributed if possible
∗ An interconnected network must be fault-tolerate, which means that the system still works in case of node or link failures. This means that the associated graph is sufficiently connected.
A graph or a digraph usually models the network. Thus a major factor of realizing highly reliable and efficient networks with a limited number of links is to find a graph with maximal connectivity for a given number of nodes and a given degree. The connectivity of graphs is a particularly intuitive area of graph theory and extends the concepts of cut node, bridge, and block. This concept represents the important property of computer and telecommunication network, also there is a rich body of the theorems concerning connectivity.
Not every network follows a well-defined regular structure. For example, the World Wide Web, the Internet, the cellular network, even the science collaboration network, do not have a regular structure. The dynamic type of networks has a large number of nodes, and the connections are very "random" in the sense that the connections follow various organizing principles or plans but do not have any globally unique rules for the whole network. In another words, the topology of the Dynamic Networks is not the product of a deliberate engineering attempt aimed at obtaining the best global solution possible, but rather it reflects in great part the choices and decisions made by individual organizations whose subnets form the Dynamic Networks. With the dynamic nature of this type of network, no one knows what exactly is the structure of any particular Dynamic Networks.
Developing tools and measurements to characterize this type of network has been attracting more and more attention. Additionally, how to improve the performance of Dynamic Networks also become a interesting problem, the methods to be discovered are also can be applied to various areas such as to improve the search engine mechanics and to construct more efficient Web Site etc.
