Wikipedia

  1. hub-and-spoke

    The spoke–hub distribution paradigm is a form of transport topology optimization in which traffic planners organize routes as a series of "spokes" that connect outlying points to a central "hub". Simple forms of this distribution/connection model contrast with point-to-point transit systems, in which each point has a direct route to every other point, and which modeled the principal method of transporting passengers and freight until the 1970s. Delta Air Lines pioneered the spoke–hub distribution model in 1955, and the concept revolutionized the transportation logistics industry after Federal Express demonstrated its value in the early 1970s. In the late 1970s the telecommunications and information technology sector subsequently adopted this distribution topology, dubbing it the star network network topology. "Hubbing" involves "the arrangement of a transportation network as a hub-and-spoke model".

  1. hub-and-spoke

    Hub-and-spoke is a system of connections arranged like a wheel in which all traffic moves along spokes connected to the hub at the center. This model is commonly used in industries like aviation, freight, telecommunications, and distribution where it helps in managing the operational complexity and allows easy routing of goods, passengers or data from any spoke. The hub acts as the central point for destination leads, and the spokes are the routes or paths from the hub to the destination.
