 SkyWalking OAP is using the STAM(Streaming Topology Analysis Method) to analysis topology in the tracing based agent scenario 
 for better performance. Read [the paper of STAM](https://wu-sheng.github.io/STAM/) for more details.

+# What is VNode?
+In the trace page, sometimes, people could find there are nodes named **VNode** as the span name, and there is no attribute 
+for this span.
+
+**VNode** is created by the UI itself, rather than reported from the agent or tracing SDK. It represents there are some
+span(s) missed from the trace data in this query.
+
+## How does the UI detect the missing span(s)?
+The UI real check the parent spans and reference segments of all spans, if a parent id(segment id + span id) can't be found,
+then it creates a VNode automatically.
+
+## How does this happen?
+The VNode was introduced, because there are some cases which could cause the trace data are not always completed.
+1. The agent fail-safe mechanism activated. The SkyWalking agent has the capability to abandon the trace data, if
+there is agent->OAP network issue(unconnected, slow network speed), or the performance of the OAP cluster is not enough
+to process all traces. 
+1. Some plugins could have bugs, then some segments in the trace never stop correctly, it is hold in the memory.
+
+In these cases, the trace would not exist in the query. Then VNode shows up.
