Page23
Network Topologies Between Subracks
MAC switching - star topology
One node functions as the center node and it is connected to each of the other nodes. The communication between the
other nodes must be switched by the center node.
TDM switching - mesh topology
There is a connection between every two nodes. When any node is out of service, the communication between other nodes is not affected.
