NetZone where each component is connected through a private link.
Cluster zones have a collection of private links that interconnect their components. This is particularly well adapted to model a collection of elements interconnected through a hub or a through a switch.
In a cluster, each component are given from 1 to 3 private links at creation:
- Private link (mandatory): link connecting the component to the cluster core.
- Limiter (optional): Additional link on the way from the component to the cluster core
- Loopback (optional): non-shared link connecting the component to itself.
Then, the cluster core may be constituted of a specific backbone link or not; A backbone can easily represent a network connected in a Hub. If you want to model a switch, either don't use a backbone at all, or use a fatpipe link (non-shared link) to represent the switch backplane.

* /|\
* / | \ <-- private links + limiters __________
* / | \
* l0 / l1| \l2

* host0 host1 host2

So, a communication from an host A to an host B goes through the following links (if they exist): limiter(A)_UP, private(A)_UP, backbone, private(B)_DOWN, limiter(B)_DOWN.
link_UP and link_DOWN usually share the exact same characteristics, but their performance are not shared, to model the fact that TCP links are full-duplex.
A cluster is connected to the outer world through a router that is connected directly to the cluster's backbone (no private link).
A communication from an host A to the outer world goes through the following links: limiter(A)_UP, private(A)_UP, backbone
(because the private router is directly connected to the cluster core).
