Topologies Definition

Network topology refers to the arrangement of nodes and connections in a computer network. It is categorized into physical topology, which describes the actual hardware layout, and logical topology, which focuses on the data flow within the network. Understanding both types is essential for effective network design and communication.

In computer networking, topology refers to the arrangement or layout of nodes (computers,

devices) and the connections (links, cables, or wireless) between them. It defines how devices are
interconnected and communicate within a network. Network topology can be categorized into two
types:

1. Physical Topology
This describes the actual physical arrangement of the network components, such as cables, devices,
and nodes. It represents the hardware configuration.

2. Logical Topology
This focuses on how data flows within the network, regardless of its physical design. It represents
the path that data follows from one device to another.
