2. Telecommunication network: A telecommunication network contains a large number of
transmission links joining different location called nodes of network
In telephone conversation, the one who initiates the call is referred to as the Calling

3. Given n nodes, if every node is connected to every other node (except itself) the
number of connections will be n*(n-1)/2
Networks with point-to-point links among all the entities are known as Fully Connected
Networks
