What are the types of Network Topology?
1. Linear Bus Topology - In networking a bus is the central cable -- the main wire -- that connects all devices on a local-area network ( LAN ). It is also called the backbone . This is often used to describe the main network connections composing the Internet. Bus networks are relatively inexpensive and easy to install for small networks. Ethernet systems use a bus topology. 2. Star Topology - In a star network devices are connected to a central computer, called a hub. Nodes communicate across the network by passing data through the hub. 3. Ring Topology - A local-area network ( LAN ) whose topology is a ring. That is, all of the nodes are connected in a closed loop. Messages travel around the ring, with each node reading those messages addressed to it. 4. Mesh Topology - In a mesh network, devices are connected with many redundant interconnections between network nodes. 5. Hybrid topo...
