Architecture & Networking
Network topology becomes important
when more than 3 consoles are
connected together. Connecting to a
central point minimizes the number of
routers a signal has to pass through
and therefore optimizes bandwidth
across the network. If the network
is large and there are insufficient
ports available on the central router,
multiple star formations can be linked
together.

FOUR RACK SYSTEM CONNECTED IN SERIES - NOT RECOMMENDED
• In order for Core 1 to access I/O connected to Core 4, the signal needs to
pass through all four racks. Whilst this connectivity is valid, it is not the most
efficient use of router to router links.

• Connecting all the cores to the same central point minimizes the amount of
cores that a signal has to pass through. In the above example of a 9 core
network (I/O boxes not shown), any rack can access I/O connected to any
other core with the signal passing through a maximum of only three cores.
