Abstract
In accordance with methods and systems consistent with the present invention, a number of improved network topologies are provided that have been selected to improve network performance based on various performance characteristics. The topologies are also selected to facilitate network reconfiguration, including adding nodes and removing, nodes. As a result, the network topologies in accordance with methods and systems consistent with the present invention do not follow a rigid, predefined pattern; rather, these topologies have been selected for network performance purposes as well as reconfiguration purposes.
