Hierarchy and Interconnectivity


Hierarchy 
  • Hierarchy is the degree of concentration of networks or traffic flows at interconnection points with in the network.

Inter-connectivity
  • It provides mechanism to achieve performance with in a hierarchical structure.
  • The dynamic between hierarchy and inter-connectivity is perhaps one of the most fundamental trade-offs in the network architecture and design.
  •  Hierarchy provides separation of network into segments. These segments may be separate smaller networks or subnets or broadcast domains.
  • When the amount of traffic in the network grows beyond the amount of network or when interaction between devices on the network result is congestion.
