What Do These Maps Show?

These maps show different computer network topologies: point-to-point, bus, ring, star, mesh, and tree. The topologies differ in how the nodes are connected, with some like bus having all nodes connected to a single cable while others like star have nodes connected to a central connection point. Understanding network topologies helps with tasks like troubleshooting, estimating cable costs, modifying networks, and determining the impact of node or cable failures.

Mesh
Tree
Bus
For each type of network, consider the
following
• How easy is troubleshooting?
• How much cable is needed? ($$$)
• How easy is it to modify the network
• What happens if a cable breaks?
• What happens if a node stops working
• How “efficient” is it?
