Contents: What is Topology
 Different Topologies
 Advantages and Disadvantages of different Topologies
What is Topology:-

2. The pattern of interconnection of nodes in a network is called the Topology
The factors while selecting a Topology
 Cost
 Flexibility
 Reliability
Different Topologies: The Star Topology
 The Bus Topology
 The Ring Topology
 The Tree Topology
 Hybrid Topology
 Mesh Topology
 Star Topology

3. 
All computers/devices connect to a central
device called hub or switch.

Each device requires a single cable

point-to-point connection between the
device and hub.

Most widely implemented

Hub is the single point of failure
Advantages: Short cable length

4.  No wiring closest space required
 Suitable for optical fibers
Disadvantages: Node failure causes network failure
 Difficult to diagnose faults
 Network reconfiguration is difficult
The Bus topology:-
• Uses a trunk or backbone to which all of the computers on
the network connect.
• Systems connect to this backbone using T connectors or
taps.
• Coaxial cablings ( 10Base-2, 10Base5) were popular
options years ago.

5. Advantages:Short cable length and simple wiring layout
Resilient Architecture
Easy to extend
Disadvantages:Fault diagnosis is difficult
Fault isolation is difficult
Repeater configuration
Nodes must be intelligent
The Ring Topology:-
Each node is connected to two and only two neighboring nodes
Data is accepted from one neighboring node transmitted to other
Data travels in one direction

6. After passing through each node, it returns to sending node, which
removes it
Advantages: Short cable length
 No wiring closest space required
 Suitable for optical fibers
Disadvantages: Node failure causes network failure
 Difficult to diagnose faults
 Network reconfiguration is difficult
The Tree Topology

7.  A tree topology (hierarchical topology) can be viewed as a collection
of star networks arranged in a hierarchy.
 This tree has individual peripheral nodes which are required to
transmit to and receive from one other only and are not required to
act as repeaters or regenerators.

The tree topology arranges links and nodes into distinct hierarchies in
order to allow greater control and easier troubleshooting.

This is particularly helpful for colleges, universities and schools so
that each of the connect to the big network in some way.
Advantages of a Tree Topology:• Point-to-point wiring for individual segments.
• Supported by several hardware and software vendors.
• All the computers have access to the larger and their immediate
networks.
Disadvantages of a Tree Topology:• Overall length of each segment is limited by the type of cabling used.

8. • If the backbone line breaks, the entire segment goes down.
• More difficult to configure and wire than other topologies
theMesh Topology
• In this topology, each node is connected to every other node in the
network.
• Implementing the mesh topology is expensive and difficult.
• In this type of network, each node may send message to destination
through multiple paths.
• While the data is travelling on the Mesh Network it is automatically
configured to reach the destination by taking the shortest route which
means the least number of hops.
Advantage of Mesh Topology:• No traffic problem as there are dedicated links.
• It has multiple links, so if one route is blocked then other routes can
be used for data communication.

9. • Points to point links make fault identification easy.
Disadvantage of Mesh Topology:• There is mesh of wiring which can be difficult to manage.
• Installation is complex as each node is connected to every node.
• Cabling cost is high.
THE Hybrid Topology
• A combination of any two or more network topologies.
• A hybrid topology always accrues when two different basic network
topologies are connected.
• It is a mixture of above mentioned topologies. Usually, a central
computer is attached with sub-controllers which in turn participate in
a variety of topologies

10. Advantages of a Hybrid Topology:• It is extremely flexible.
• It is very reliable.
Disadvantages of a Hybrid Topology:• Expensive
