nn::nex::NetworkTopology::_NetworkTopology Enumerated Type

Syntax

enum _NetworkTopology;

Value

Value Description
Peer2Peer A P2P type network topology. The default for Net-Z is a full mesh type peer-to-peer topology, where all stations directly connect with each other. With this topology, the messages sent among stations always arrive directly.
ClientServer A client/server type network topology. The network is built from connections between the various stations and a central station (the session master). The session master communicates directly with each of the other stations, whereas these other stations communicate among themselves via the routing of the session master.
Hybrid The topology is intermediate between P2P and client/server network topologies. It can support environments where a complete full-mesh topology (P2P type) cannot be constructed. If two stations, neither of which is the session master, can establish a direct connection, then data is transmitted without going through the session master. But if a direct connection cannot be established, then the data is transmitted via the session master.

Description

The enumerated type for network topologies.
