# Network of Nodes
|
||
|
||
## The Waku Network
|
||
Typical Network Topology
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Note:
|
||
Let’s take a look at what a network of Waku nodes might look like.
|
||
It may be too intricate for a clear understanding on first glance, but we’ll look into each feature in detail next.
|
||
For now it’s important to have a high-level understanding of what each element represents:
|
||
```
|
||
- the shaded circles represent [[Waku Nodes]] contributing at different levels to the network
|
||
- the shading itself represents that node’s capabilities/resource availability (we’ll look at this concept next)
|
||
- the colored, dotted lines represent different pubsub topics. Remember that a specific contribution always belongs to a specific pubsub topic, hence the separate pubsub topics represent separate sub-networks.
|
||
- the solid arrows represent some request/response protocols, such as `store`, `filter`, or `lightpush`
|
||
- the dotted boxes show what content topics (i.e. applications) a node is interested in. A node that is purely providing a service to the network might not care.
|
||
- there are also dashed lines to “auxiliary networks”. These represents breakouts from the Waku network to auxiliary protocols, such as bridging to Waku v1, DNS used for discovery, etc.
