Flat network
A flat network is a computer network design approach that aims to reduce cost, maintenance and administration. Flat networks are designed to reduce the number of routers and switches on a computer network by connecting the devices to a single switch instead of separate switches. Unlike a hierarchical network design, the network is not physically separated using different switches.
The topology of a flat network is not segmented or separated into different broadcast areas by using routers.〔 Some such networks may use network hubs or a mixture of hubs and switches, rather than switches and routers, to connect devices to each other.〔 Generally, all devices on the network are a part of the same broadcast area.〔
==Uses==
Flat networks are typically used in homes or small businesses where network requirements are low.〔 Home networks usually do not require intensive security, or separation, because the network is often used to provide multiple computers access to the Internet. In such cases, a complex network with many switches is not required. Flat networks are also generally easier to administer and maintain because less complex switches or routers are being used.〔 Purchasing switches can be costly, so flat networks can be implemented to help reduce the amount of switches that need to be purchased.〔
