Talk:Logical topology

Virtual terraforming

Virtual terraforming redirects here. I can find no reliable sources describing this concept. There has been some discussion. This topic looks like a lost child. --Kvng (talk) 15:15, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

more like an imaginary friend of a lost child; Maybe this is what they call virtual contentforming. I took it out, text is here:

//disputed-section|date=June 2011// There are also attempts by networks of individuals to deliberately manipulate internet topology, which could be referred to as virtual terraforming. Cases and possibilities include a distributed denial-of-service attack (DdoS), in which virtual smart mobs flood a site with hits/links, or correspondingly, cease all traffic/remove all links to a site; the strategic use of linkback and reverse-linking to change the connectedness and therefore searchability of sites; and incorporating the long tail into search engines, e.g. with an option to search for poorly linked sites. Internet topology may change dramatically as internet architecture moves from a conception of links that is binary (yes/no link) or spectral (strength of link) to one that is typological (type of link). For example, as Facebook moves from a binary conception of relationship (yes/no friend) to a typological one (type of relationship) with its “How do you know [insert name]?” feature, the topology of its social network will change; specifically, its social network will become social graphs. If something similar were applied to links between sites on the internet, it would drastically terraform what [[]] identifies as the 4 continents of internet

Let's see some sources for this virtual terraforming first... Ssscienccce (talk) 18:17, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Can anyone help with citations??

Since the tag was inserted in 2012, it would be great if even one reference can be added to the body of this article regarding a notable topic. Regards,--Soulparadox (talk) 09:11, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

The body is not directly about logical topology, it is about classic Ethernet and Token Ring. We should consider improving the body before trying to reference what's there now. ~Kvng (talk) 18:41, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Uncited dubious content

I have removed long uncited and dubious content that did not support the (cited) lead. The effect is to essentially WP:STUBIFY the article. ~Kvng (talk) 17:34, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
