Topology
Topology is a layout of computers and devices in a Network. They are bus, star, mesh, ring, hybrid. Bus • This layout connects devices to a main line called a backbone. • This backbone can be a coaxial line or an Ethernet line. • The single cable, where all data is transmitted between devices, is referred to as the bus, backbone, or trunk. Star • In a star network, every host is connected to a central hub. In its simplest form, one central hub acts as a conduit to transmit messages. • A type of network topology in which every device in the network is individually connected to a central node, known as the switch or hub . Mesh • Mesh topology is a type of network topology in which all devices in the network are interconnected. In a mesh topology, data can be transmitted by routing (sent the shortest distance) and flooding (sent to all devices). Ring each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signa...
