Network Topology:
The physical topology of an internetwork is described by the complete set of routers and the networks that connect them. Networks also have a logical topology. Different routing protocols establish the logical topology in different ways.
Some routing protocols do not use a logical hierarchy. Such protocols use addressing to segregate specific areas or domains within a given internetworking environment and to establish a logical topology. For such nonhierarchical, or flat, protocols, no manual topology creation is required.
Other protocols require the creation of an explicit hierarchical topology through establishment of a backbone and logical areas. The OSPF and Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS)
