Network Topologies
▷A network can be arranged and configured in
several different ways. This arrangement is called
Network Topology.
▷Most common topologies are:
▷Bus Topology
▷Star Topology
▷Ring Topology
▷Hybrid Topology
Network Topologies
▷Bus topology – all computers are linked by
a
– single line of cable
Advantages
• Easy to setup
• Small amount of
wire
– Disadvantages
• Slow
• Easy to crash
Network Topologies
▷Star topology – multiple computers and peripheral
devices are linked to a central computer, called a
host
– Advantages
• Time to send data is
known
• No data collisions
– Disadvantages
• Slow
• Lots of cable
Network Topologies
▷Ring topology – each computer or workstation is
connected to two other computers, with the
entire network forming a circle
– Advantages
• Time to send data is
known
• No data collisions
– Disadvantages
• Slow
• Lots of cable
Network Topologies
▷Hybrid topology – combine network
layout types to meet their needs
Mesh Topology
– All computers connected together
– Internet is a mesh network
– Advantage
• Data will always be delivered
– Disadvantages
• Lots of cable
• Hard to setup
