Q3. Name the four basic topologies and advantages.
Answer:
Bus Topology:
Bus topology is a network type in which every computer and network device is
connected to a single cable. It is bi-directional.
Ring Topology:
In this topology, it forms a ring connecting devices with exactly two neighboring
devices.
Q10. When we use local telephones to talk to a friend, are we using a circuit
switched network or a packet-switched network?
Answer: We used the circuit switch network because it provides continuous
communication and employs a dedicated link between each device, the telephone is
a circuit-switched network. Circuit switching is a network configuration in which a
physical path is obtained and dedicated to a single connection between two network
endpoints for the lifetime of that connection. Circuit switching is used in standard
voice phone service. For the duration of a call, this reserved circuit is used. The
movement of small chunks of data across many networks is known as packet
switching. These data blocks, or "packets," make data transmit faster and more
efficient. When a user transfers a file across a network, it is frequently sent in smaller
data packets rather than all at once.
