communication network
system of communication nodes and links that provides transmission of analog or digital signals
EXAMPLES Telecommunications networks, Internet, intranet, extranet, Wide Area Networks (WAN), Local Area Networks (LAN) and computer networking utilizing information technology.
NOTE 1 A network has its boundary. All nodes at the network boundary are called ends. In some applications, the term “node” is used instead of “end” as a communication access point to the network, as well as for interconnections between the transmission links.
NOTE 2 A “backbone” communication network consists of core network and high-speed transmission lines (national or international), connecting between major switching network nodes (interconnection of transmission lines) at various locations in a country or region.
[IEC 61907, ed. 1.0 (2009-12)]FR
réseau de communication
système constitué de nœuds et de liaisons de communication assurant la transmission des signaux analogiques ou numériques
EXEMPLES Les réseaux de télécommunications, l’Internet, l'intranet, l’extranet, les réseaux étendus (WAN), les réseaux locaux (d'entreprise) (RLE) et les réseaux informatiques utilisant les technologies de l’information.
NOTE 1 Un réseau comporte sa propre frontière. L’ensemble des nœuds situés au niveau de la frontière d’un réseau s’appellent des terminaux. Dans certaines applications, le terme «nœud» est utilisé à la place du terme «terminal» comme point d'accès de communication au réseau, ainsi que pour désigner les interconnexions entre les liaisons de transmission.
NOTE 2 Un réseau de communication «fédérateur» est constitué d’un réseau central et de lignes de transmission à grande vitesse (nationales ou internationales) reliant entre eux des nœuds de réseaux de commutation importants (interconnexion de lignes de transmission) en divers lieux d'un pays ou d'une région.
