2. What is network topology?
• Network topology is the arrangement of the various elements of a
computer network.
• It is the topological structure of a network and may be depicted
physically or logically.
3. Types of Network Topologies.
• Point to Point
• Ring Topology
• Star Topology
• Bus Topology
• Mesh Topologies
• Hybrid Topology
• Hierarchical Topology
5. Bus Topology
Computer -
A signal from the source travels in both directions to all machines
connected on the bus cable until it finds the intended recipient.
6. Ring Topology
Computer -
A network topology is set up in a circular fashion
in such a way that they make a closed loop.
7. Star Topology
Computer -
In Star topology every node is connected to a central node called hub, router or switch.
8. Mesh Topology
Computer -
The value of fully meshed networks is proportional to the exponent of the number of subscribers, assuming that
communicating groups of any two endpoints, up to and including all the endpoints, is approximated by Reeds Law
9. Hybrid Topology
Computer -
Hybrid networks use a combination of any two or more topologies, in such a way
that the resulting network does not exhibit one of the standard topologies
