let suppose total number of nodes/computers = n
the formula will be = n(n-1)/2
e.g
= 6(6-1)/2
=15 links.
(n2-n)/2 while n is number of nodes
15
The reason it is called a network in the first place is because various pieces of hardware (notebooks, desktops, printers, copiers, fax machines, storage) are all connected together - therefore they are networked. A network is typically referred to as a LAN (Local Area Network) if it is in within one location. If it spans to more than one building it can be called a MAN (Metropolitan Area Network). When LANs are connected together via communication links, those communication links are referred to as a WAN (Wide Area Network)
Nothing should happen; that is reason you have fully redundant links, in case a link fails.
A star topology; a network topology in which endpoints on a network are connected to a common central device by point-to-point links.
A network is formed by links
A network is formed by links
Spanning tree protocol locates all links in the network and shuts down redundant links, which stops the occurrence of network loops.
The only relationship I can come up with is that they are both networks - a series of nodes connected with links. A neural network, like the one in your brain, has brain cells as the nodes, and synapses as the links. An artificial neural network, which is a tiny crude simulation of how your brain works that runs on a computer, emulates that structure in software. A local area network has computers and routers as the nodes, and various kinds of data transmission lines (such as Ethernet cables) as links. Yet another kind of network is a fishing net - it has knots as nodes, and strings as links. Perhaps a better answer would be: The relationship between a neural network and local area network is the same thing as the relationship between a local area network and a fishing net. HTH, Gdunge
In general, without knowing exactly what and how is planned, when connected, either wired or wirelessly, and with sharing enabled, the computers should appear under Network. (See links below)
The Internet links LANs and WANs together.
