Network Complexity
Network complexity is the number of nodes and alternative paths that exist within a computer network, as well as the variety of communication media, communications equipment, protocols, and hardware and software platforms found in the network. A simple network is a small LAN with no alternative paths based on a single communication protocol suite while a complex network may be an enterprise-wide network that uses multiple communication media and protocols to interconnect geographically distributed networks with dissimilar hardware and software platforms.
