NETWORK TOPOLOGY

 Topology defines the structure of the network of how all the components are interconnected to each other. There are two types of topology: physical and logical topology.

Types of Network Topology

Physical topology is the geometric representation of all the nodes in a network. There are six types of network topology which are Bus Topology, Ring Topology, Tree Topology, Star Topology, Mesh Topology, and Hybrid Topology.

Computer Network Topologies

1) Bus Topology

Computer Network Topologies
  • The bus topology is designed in such a way that all the stations are connected through a single cable known as a backbone cable.
  • Each node is either connected to the backbone cable by drop cable or directly connected to the backbone cable.
  • When a node wants to send a message over the network, it puts a message over the network. All the stations available in the network will receive the message whether it has been addressed or not.
  • The bus topology is mainly used in 802.3 (ethernet) and 802.4 standard networks.Ring Topology
  • RING TOPOLOGY 
  • Computer Network Topologies
    • Ring topology is like a bus topology, but with connected ends.
    • The node that receives the message from the previous computer will retransmit to the next node.
    • The data flows in one direction, i.e., it is unidirectional.
    • The data flows in a single loop continuously known as an endless loop.
    • Star Topology

      Computer Network Topologies
      • Star topology is an arrangement of the network in which every node is connected to the central hub, switch or a central computer.
      • The central computer is known as a server, and the peripheral devices attached to the server are known as clients.
      • The configuration of a bus topology
      • is quite simpler as compared.
  • The backbone cable is considered as a "single lane" through which the message is broadcast to all the stations
  • Hybrid Topology

    Computer Network Topologies
    • The combination of various different topologies is known as Hybrid topology.
    • A Hybrid topology is a connection between different links and nodes to transfer the data.
    • When two or more different topologies are combined together is termed as Hybrid topology and if similar topologies are connected with each other will not result in Hybrid topology

  2. One of the primary uses of network topology is to define the configuration of various telecommunication networks, including computer networks, command and control radio networks, and industrial fieldbusses.

  3. Which type of topology is best sir

    1. mesh topology offers high performance, reliability, and security, as there is no congestion, collision, or dependency in the network, and a single failure does not affect the whole network.

  4. How many countries are following these topology sir

    1. Wherever computers are used they use network topologies, so all the countries uses network topologies.
