Overlay network.
Computer and Network Examples

An Overlay network is a computer network that is built on the top of another network. The nodes of the overlay network are connected by virtual or logical links.

This example was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park and shows the Overlay network diagram for the P2P network.

Overlay network. Computer and Network Examples

Example 1. Computer and Network Area.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a virtual overlay network on top of the physical network topology. In the overlay its nodes form the subset of the nodes in the physical network. The nodes are equal peer nodes. At the application layers the peers exchange data via the logical overlay links. Overlays are used for indexing and peer discovery. They also make the P2P system independent from the physical network topology. The networks can be structured and unstructured in depending on how the nodes are linked each other.

Computer networks nowadays are spread all across the world. The large number of parameters, such as geographic scale or communication protocols, can divide networks. One of the most common types of networks is called local area network (LAN). It convenient to represent network examples by means of diagrams. This local area network (LAN) diagram provides an easy way to see the way the devices in a local network are interacted. The diagram uses a library containing specific symbols to represent network equipment , media and the end-user devices such as computers (PC, mac, laptop) , network printer, hubs, server and finally a modem. There are two types of network topologies: physical and logical. The current diagram represents precisely a physical type of LAN topology because it refers to the physical layout of a local network equipment.Local area network (LAN) diagram
