In the example below, one block producer is connected to three relays and they are connected to other relays of the Cardano network.

For the operation of a stake pool, some additional nodes in the topology might be useful. For example, a back-up node for block producer is helpful in case the main block producer has an issue e.g. during an upgrade. Depending on the number of stake pools that are being managed, a monitoring node can be used to monitor them and generate alarms. Stake pool operators also need a [air-gapped system](/docs/get-started/air-gap) to store the pool cold keys. Some pool operators use a hardware wallet for storing the pool pledge.

A logical topology of all the components, without considering firewalls and other security aspects can be shown as follows.
