Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth
In the Technology Layer metamodel, a Communication Network is an active structure that provides
the infrastructure for communication between devices and systems.
A Path represents a logical or physical connection that facilitates communication between nodes or
other elements. The Communication Network aggregates the Path, as a network consists of multiple
paths connecting different components.
This is clearly stated in the ArchiMate 3.2 Specification, where the aggregation relationship between
a Communication Network and a Path is defined.
