Interconnection networks in shared memory systems offer distinct advantages and disadvantages. For example, a bus network provides simplicity and low cost but may suffer from bandwidth limitations and congestion as the number of processors increases. On the other hand, a mesh network allows for higher scalability and better fault tolerance but introduces increased complexity and latency due to multiple hops required for communication. Ultimately, the choice of interconnection network depends on the specific performance, scalability, and cost requirements of the system.
As the name says, a back bone network is an interconnection of different networks at the back end.
Journal of Interconnection Networks was created in 2000.
The primary advantages of broadband networks over baseband networks include greater distances and bandwidths,while disadvantages involve high maintenance costs and requires modems.
Advantage: Easy to set up Cheap Disadvantage: Lack of security. Thus ad-hoc network is also called unsecure networks.

Nigel Linge has written: 'The interconnection of local area networks using bridges'
Metropolitan Area Network also known as MAN is a composition of several connected Local Area Networks. Its advantages are seamless file sharing over large networks and users can share high-speed internet connection. Its high cost of installation is one of its disadvantages.
Cable networks use coaxial cables to connect computers to the internet. Their advantages include fast internet connection of up to 15 mbps, not prone to dropout as compared to dial-up internet and ability to support data-heavy online activities. High installation fees, slower speeds than those of fiber optic networks and inaccessibility in other areas fall under the list of disadvantages.
In 1977 Dennis C. Hayes invented the PC Modem, which allowed for the interconnection of computer networks.
A disadvantage is that in networks,anything happening to the host computer directly disrupts the working of other computers in the network. An advantage is that it enables multi-users at a time unlike stand alone.
