English to Russian: Translation of a telecom manual.
Source text - English The network topology structure, i.e. the geometrical layout of network nodes and transmission lines, reflects the physical connection of the network. The performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness of a SDH network depend largely on its topology structure.
The network topology structure basically includes five types --- namely chain, star, tree, ring and mesh. Refer to figure 1.1 Chain Networks
1.1 Chain Networks
Chain networks are such topology in which all nodes are connected in a chain, and the two nodes at both ends open (if these two nodes are directly connected with each other with no nodes between them, this is called a point-to-point structure ).
In such a structure, in order to establish a service connection between any two non-adjacent nodes, all of the nodes in between these two nodes should cooperate to enable the transmission of the service.
Translation - Russian Топологическая структура сети, т.е. геометрическое расположение сетевых узлов и линий передачи, отображает способ физического соединения узлов в сети. Эффективность, надежность и рентабельность оптоволоконной сети стандарта SDH в значительной мере зависят от ее топологической структуры.
Разделяют пять основных типов топологической структуры сети, а именно: цепной, радиальный, древовидный, кольцевой и ячеистый. Рассмотрим рис. 1.1 "Цепные сети".
1.1 Цепные сети
Цепная сеть представляет собой топологическую структуру, в которой все узлы соединены в цепочку и два узла на концах цепочки открыты (если эти узлы непосредственно связаны между собой без промежуточных узлов, то такая структура называется двухточечной).
В структуре такого типа для установления связи между любыми двумя несоседними узлами необходима поддержка всех узлов, находящихся в цепи между ними, чтобы обеспечить передачу служебных сигналов.
