- Network topology means how devices are connected to each other.
- Physical Topology : Actual layout of the how computers connected with each other by using cables.
- Logical Topology : The way actually devices communicate internally.
- Each computer connects to every other computer.
- High level of redundancy.
- Popular in LAN.
- Wiring is complicated.
- Uses a trunk or backbone to which all of the computers on network to connect
- System is connected to this backbone using T-connector.
- Require less cable.
- Does not use any specialized network device.
- All nodes gets information sent.
- Break in cable, entitr network goes down.
- Mostly Used Topology.
- All computers/devices connect to central devices called hub or switch.
- Each device requires a single cable point-to-point connection between the device & hub. Cable failure affects only single user.
- Easy to Troubleshoot.
- Easy to add new device.
- Data travel in circular fashion from one computer to another on network.
- Ring Network are most commonly wired in Physical star configuration.
- Due to token,avoid collision.
- It is the combination of two or more topologies.
- Combination of star & bus topologies.
- This topology is an extension of the bus & star topologies. new nodes can be easily added.
Hope You Undersatnd the concept of Network Topology. If you want to improve this guide then contribute. Let's Meet on next Day with Addressing Day 7
