Each instance of this collection is a network used to link computational systems together to allow them to transfer information between each other. This is typically done using &quot;packets&quot; of information (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvqJ145wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Packet_Network</a>) exchanged according to certain well-defined protocols (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvzDExpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NetworkProtocol</a>). A particularly large and notable instance of this collection is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVnZe5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Internet</a>. Networks may be structured according to certain specific topologies, the most notable of which are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv-AifZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BusNetwork</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvZO4s5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StarNetwork</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwDdgN5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">RingNetwork</a>.
