NETWORK TOPOLOGY
- A network topology is the arrangement of a network, including its nodes and connecting lines. There are two ways of defining network geometry: the physical topology and the logical (or signal) topology.
- Network topology is the arrangement of the elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a communication network. Network topology can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command and control radio networks, industrial fieldbusses, and computer networks.
- Network Topology is the schematic description of a network arrangement, connecting various nodes(sender and receiver) through lines of connection.
TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY
BUS TOPOLOGY
⇒ Bus topology is a network type in which every computer and network device is connected to single cable. When it has exactly two endpoints, then it is called Linear Bus topology.
⇒ It is called ring topology because it forms a ring as each computer is connected to another computer, with the last one connected to the first. Exactly two neighbours for each device.
STAR TOPOLOGY
⇒ In this type of topology all the computers are connected to a single hub through a cable. This hub is the central node and all others nodes are connected to the central node.
MESH TOPOLOGY
⇒ It is a point-to-point connection to other nodes or devices. All the network nodes are connected to each other.
HYBRID TOPOLOGY
⇒ It is two different types of topologies which is a mixture of two or more topologies. For example if in an office in one department ring topology is used and in another star topology is used, connecting these topologies will result in Hybrid Topology (ring topology and star topology).
