Topology of the World Wide Web
open-in-new
<p>World Wide Web topology is distinct from <a href="/facts/Internet/Xw1rVvJU">Internet</a> topology. While the former focuses on how web pages are interconnected through <a href="/facts/Hyperlink/LqNsa84e">hyperlinks</a>, the latter refers to the layout of network infrastructure like routers, <a href="/facts/Internet_service_provider/dUacAxef">ISPs</a>, and backbone connections. </p><p>The Jellyfish model of the World Wide Web topology represents the web as a core of highly connected nodes (web pages) surrounded by layers of less connected nodes. The Bow Tie model, on the other hand, divides the web into distinct zones: a strongly connected core, an 'IN' group leading into the core, an 'OUT' group leading out, and disconnected components. This model emphasizes the flow of hyperlinks between different parts of the web.. </p>
