 +====== NET-002 — Define Virtual Network Topology ======
  
 +[[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:03-functional-requirements:03-04-virtual-network-and-communication-requirements:start|Go to C.3.4 Virtual Network and Communication Requirements]]
 +
 +===== Statement =====
 +
 +The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:dido-te|DIDO-TE]] SHALL define the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:network_topology|Network Topology]] of each [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:virtual_network|Virtual Network]] specified by the governing [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_definition|Test Definition]].
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-001|[DTE1] U.S. Patent Application US20220237111A1]], Virtual Network configuration, network topography, distributed Nodes, and communication relationships
 +  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-005|[DTE5] DIDO-TE Requirements Register]], inter-node topology and distributed Test Environment requirements
 +  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-009|[DTE9] Distributed Immutable Data Object Reference Architecture (DIDO-RA)]], distributed network and communication concepts
 +
 +===== Rationale =====
 +
 +A [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:virtual_network|Virtual Network]] establishes a network representation for communication among participating entities.
 +
 +The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:network_topology|Network Topology]] defines the arrangement of those communicating entities and the communication relationships among them.
 +
 +Separating establishment of the Virtual Network from definition of its Network Topology permits the same Virtual Network concept to represent different communication structures for different tests.
 +
 +The governing [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_definition|Test Definition]] specifies the topology required for the test. DIDO-TE defines that topology as part of the Virtual Network used by the Test Environment.
 +
 +Network Topology remains distinct from the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:communication_characteristic|Communication Characteristics]] assigned to communication relationships. NET-004 governs configuration of those characteristics.
 +
 +This requirement does not prescribe a particular routing protocol, network technology, overlay mechanism, middleware implementation, or physical network arrangement.
 +
 +===== Applies To =====
 +
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:dido-te|DIDO-TE]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:virtual_network|Virtual Network]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:network_topology|Network Topology]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node|Node]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_definition|Test Definition]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration|Configuration]]
 +
 +===== Verification =====
 +
 +Verification confirms that:
 +
 +  - Each Virtual Network specified by the governing Test Definition has a defined Network Topology.
 +  - The Network Topology identifies the communicating entities represented by the topology.
 +  - The Network Topology identifies the communication relationships among those entities.
 +  - Communication relationships not specified by the governing Test Definition are not inferred solely from technical connectivity.
 +  - The defined Network Topology is traceable to the governing Test Definition.
 +  - The Network Topology can be defined independently of the technology used to realize the Virtual Network.
 +
 +Verification includes a Test Definition specifying multiple communicating entities and communication relationships and confirms that the resulting Network Topology represents those relationships.
 +
 +===== Traceability =====
 +
 +{{backlinks>.}}
 +
 +===== ConOps Relationship =====
 +
 +This requirement defines the communication structure of a Virtual Network established under NET-001.
 +
 +NET-003 governs connection of participating Nodes through the Virtual Network, while NET-004 governs configuration of the Communication Characteristics associated with communication through that network.

 +===== Delivery Phase =====
