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
