Tree network

A tree network, or star-bus network, is a hybrid network topology in which star networks are interconnected via bus networks. Tree networks are hierarchical, and each node can have an arbitrary number of child nodes. A tree network, or star-bus network, is a hybrid network topology in which star networks are interconnected via bus networks. Tree networks are hierarchical, and each node can have an arbitrary number of child nodes. A regular tree network's topology is characterized by two parameters: the branching, d {displaystyle d} , and thenumber of generations, G {displaystyle G} . The total number of the nodes, N {displaystyle N} , and the number of peripheral nodes N p {displaystyle N_{p}} , are given by
