Low quality

This is a very poorly written page. It gives very little meaningful detail on internet topology, and is entirely unclear on what topology is actually being described (the web graph, the AS-level graph, the router-level graph, the POP-level graph). It needs substantial update before it should be considered reliable for any reader.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.59.255.143 (talk • contribs)

I agree. Could be a fascinating article if someone knowledgeable worked on it. Ringbang (talk) 04:16, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article, as by the title and the introduction should be about the topology of the internet, meaming the interconnection between evey network connected to make the internet(internet backbones, isps, big networks, etc.) and nothing about interconnection between websites (as it is the structure of the world wide web, not the internet); we should remove all the content about the world wide web, or put it in a new article.

@Porcofederal:, so WP:FIXIT rather than revert nearly every single contribution in the article. Sure, if stuff is unsalvegable, remove it and improve it, find sources, fix sentences, do it. Tutelary (talk) 04:28, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Porcofederal is right. This article is extremely confusing as it mixes up different things. Fixing it would require total rewriting. In the meanwhile, should the misleading content stay? Mahuzu (talk) 09:35, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Right. I unconfused it but only partially, as I see now. The Jellyfish article writes about network topology but the description of the article here writes about web pages :-/ 2001:718:1A02:1:1A66:DAFF:FE1E:1122 (talk) 16:25, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this page covers at least two topics: a bit about internet architecture and the topology of the web, i.e. of its web pages. There's an entire category Category:Internet architecture; the material in the "Internet architecture" section here should be moved to one or more of those pages, if not covered already. This page can then be renamed "Web topology", "Web page topology" or "Worldwide web topology". Peter coxhead (talk) 10:58, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Appeal for help with splitting this into two articles

Could someone at least salvage this current shambles by splitting it immediately into two articles topology of the internet proper and "topology of the web" which is all the off-topic completely unrelated stuff. Some fool obviously thought the web and the internet were the same thing, incredible. I don't know how to split an article. If I delete all the off-topic web stuff there would be nothing left. Architecture of the internet meaning how it is organised is nothing to do with topology.CecilWard (talk) 13:34, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since the article seems to be mostly about the WWW anyway, I've moved it now. Some links remain to be checked as to whether they concern the WWW or the internet 黄雨伞 (talk) 08:54, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
