not really...if i'm a vendor managing someone's
network..i'll have the software running in my data
center..and the network spread across the globe. 
Secondly..the software could be installed anywhere in the
network itself.
The concept of center is needed to propoerly layout the
nodes on the screen..Think of the nodes lying on concentric
rings.If i've already plotted a node, and it appears again
as another node's neighbour, i need to know at which ring
it is...

regds,
