Project of Computer TOPOLOGIES

The document discusses different network topologies: 1) It describes five common network topologies - bus, star, ring, mesh, and tree. 2) For each topology, it provides a brief explanation of how the connections are made. For example, in a bus topology all devices connect to a single cable, and in a star topology cables connect from devices to a central hub. 3) It notes that the tree topology combines aspects of the bus and star topologies, with branches connecting back to a main network structure.

TOPOLOGIES AND THEIR TYPES


Different Kinds Of Network Topology In Computer Networks The way in which the connections are made is called the topology of the computer network network. Now I am

discussing about

topology, Network

topology specifically refers to the physical layout of the network, especially the locations of the computers and how the cable is run between them.

FIVE MOST COMMON TOPOLOGIES ARE:

BUS STAR RING MESH TREE

BUS TOPOLOGY:

Bus topologies All the devices on a bus topology are connected by one single cable. When one computer sends a signal up the wire, all the computers on the network receive the information, but only one accepts the information. The rest regrets the message. One computer can send a message at a time. A computer must wait until the bus is free before it can transmit. When the signal reaches the end of the wire, it bounces back and travels back up the wire. When a signal echoes back and forth along an unterminated bus, it is called ringing. To stop the signals from ringing, attach terminators at either end of the segment. The terminators absorb the electrical energy and stop the reflection.

STAR TOPOLOGY:

Star Topology All the cables run from the computers to a central location, where they are all connected by a device called a hub. Each computer on a star network communicates with a central hub that resends the message either to all the computers or only to the destination computers. Hub can be active or passive in the star network Active hub regenerates the electrical signal and sends it to all the computers connected to it. Passive hub does not amplify or regenerate signal and does not require electrical power to run. We can expand a star network by placing another star hub.

RING TOPOLOGY:

Ring Topology Each computer is

connected to the next computer ,with the last one connected to the first. Every computer is connected to the next computer in the ring, and each retransmits

what it receives from the previous computer. The message flow around the ring in one direction. Some ring networks do token passing. It passes around the ring until a computer wishes to send information to another computer. The computer adds an electronic address and data and sends it around the ring. Each computer in sequence receives the token and the information and passes them to the next until either the electronic address matches the address of the computer or the token returns to the origin. The receiving computer returns a message to the originator indicating that the message has been received. The sending computer then creates another token and place it on the network, allowing another station to capture the token and being transmitted.

MESH TOPOLOGY:

Mesh Topology The mesh

topology connects all devices (nodes) each to other for redundancy and fault

tolerance. It is used in WANs to interconnect LANs and for mission critical networks like those used by banks and financial institutions. Implementing the mesh topology is expensive and difficult.

TREE TOPOLOGY
Among all the Network Topologies we can derive that the Tree Topology is a combination of the bus and the Star Topology. The you many and tree to like have servers you can in ways. is structure allows

on the network branch out the network many This

particularly helpful for colleges, universities and schools so that each of the branches can identify the relevant systems in their own network and yet connect to the big network in some way. A Tree Structure suits best when the network is widely spread and vastly divided into many branches. Like any other topologies, the Tree Topology has its advantages and disadvantages. A Tree Network may not suit small networks and it may be a waste of cable to use it for small networks. Tree Topology has some limitations and the configuration should suit those limitations.
