TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY


NETWORK TOPOLOGY

Network Topology is the schematic description of a network arrangement, connecting various nodes (sender and receiver) through lines of connection.

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.


RING 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 neighbors 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).

TYPES OF NETWORK NETWORK A computer network, or data network, is digital telecommunications network which allows nodes to share resources. In computer networks, computing devices exchange data with each other using connections (data links) between nodes. These data links are established over cable media such as wires or optic cables, or wireless media such as WiFi. source: Wikipedia PERSONAL AREA NETWORK (PAN) A personal area network (PAN) is a computer network organized around an individual person, and that's set up for personal use only. They typically involve a computer, phone, printer, tablet and/or some other personal device like a PDA. source: Lifewire LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) A local area network (LAN) supplies networking capability to a group of computers in close proximity to each other, like in an office building, school, or home. LANs are usually built to enable the sharing of resources and services like files, printers, games, applications, emai...
