obsolete/obsolescent network
Explanation:
Of a civilisation, מנוונת means "degenerate" but of a network I think either obsolete or obsolescent would do to indicate that it is out of date, no longer current.

There is actually a concept of degeneracy in networking, so it is even possible that the correct translation may be "degenerate network"

In fact, I think, in view of the choice of word in Hebrew, I now think it likely that the correct answer should be degenerate network. If you select my reply, please use "degenerate network" for the glossary entry.
