Local Area Networks with Different Topological Structures, Analysis of Qualitative and Quantitative Behaviour

The aim of this paper is to investigate and examine interdependence between the quality of services which are delivered by local area networks and local area network architectures. The relation is examined for networks with different topological structures. The problem of proper topological structure selection has been formulated as a multitask problem. Solution, obtained for the whole set of users (globally optimal solution) is compared with interconnected set of solutions obtained for distinctive subsets of users (locally optimal solution). The obtained solutions are compared using well-known performance measure.
