What are the network topology?

           What are the network topologies?

The following definations will help you to better understand network topology:

  • Network
  • Topology
  • Node
  • Physical Topology
  • Logical Topology
1.Mesh topology is a type of networking where all nodes cooperate to distribute data amongst each other. This topology was originally developed 30+ years ago for military applications, but today, they are typically used for things like home automation, smart HVAC control, and smart buildings.
2.A star topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all nodes are individually connected to a central connection point, like a hub or a switch. A star takes more cable than e.g. a bus, but the benefit is that if a cable fails, only one node will be brought down.


3.A bus topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all the nodes are connected to a single cable. The cable to which the nodes connect is called a "backbone". If the backbone is broken, the entire segment fails.





4. A ring network is a network topology in which each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each node - a ring. Data travels from node to node, with each node along the way handling every packet.

5.A tree topology is a special type of structure in which many connected elements are arranged like the branches of a tree. For example, tree topologies are frequently used to organize the computers in a corporate network, or the information in a database.

        TY PES OF COMPUTER NETWORK A Personal Area Network(PAN) is a computer network for interconnecting devices centered om an individual person's workplace A PAN provides data transmission among'st devices such as computers, smartphones, tables and personal digital assistants. PANs can be used for communication among'st the personal devices themselves, or for connecting to a higher level network and the internet where one master devices takes up the role as gateway A PAN may be carried over wired computer buses such as USB. A Local Area Network(LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communicatios line or wireless link to a server. typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals connected to a servser within a distinct deographic area such as an office or commercial establishment. A Metropolitan Area Network(MAN) is a computer network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area ...
