WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY?

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.

TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY

1.) LINEAR BUS TOPOLOGY

2.) STAR TOPOLOGY

3.) RING TOPOLOGY

4.) MESH TOPOLOGY

5.) HYBRID TOPOLOGY

1.) LINEAR BUS TOPOLOGY

~Linear bus topology is a type of network topology in which each device is connected one after the other in a sequential chain (shown right). In this case, the bus is the network connection between the devices, and if any link in the network chain is severed, all network transmission is halted.

2.) STAR TOPOLOGY

~A Star network is one of the most common computer network topologies. In its simplest form, a star network consists of one central hub which acts as a conduit to transmit messages. In star topology, every host is connected to a central hub.

3.) RING TOPOLOGY

~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 along the way handling every packet.

4.) MESH TOPOLOGY

~A mesh network is a

local network topology in which the infrastructure nodes connect directly, dynamically and non-hierarchically to as many other nodes as possible and cooperate with one another to efficiently route data from/to clients. This lack of dependency on one node allows for every node to participate in the relay of information.

5.) HYBRID TOPOLOGY

~Hybrid topology is an integration of two or more different topologies to form a resultant topology which has many advantages (as well as disadvantages) of all the constituent basic topologies rather than having characteristics of one specific topology.
