Grid networkA grid network is a kind of computer network consisting of a number of (computer) systems connected in a grid topology.In a regular grid topology, each node in the network is connected with two neighbors along one or more dimensions[?]. If the network is one-dimensional, and the chain of nodes is connected to form a circular loop, the resulting topology is known as a ring. Network systems such as FDDI use two counter-rotating token-passing[?] rings to achieve high reliability and performance. In general, when an n-dimensional grid network is connected circularly in more than one dimension, the resulting network topology is a torus, and the network is called "toroidal". When the number of nodes along each dimension of a toroidal network is 2, the resulting network is called a hypercube. propped on lazy elbow, to watch perspiring wretches, short of breath
