The term “topology” in networking refers to the configuration of cables‚ computers‚ and peripherals. The six common used topologies in networking are: bus‚ star‚ ring‚ mesh‚ tree‚ and hyb
Now that we’ve looked at the benefits of a tree topology network, let’s assess what makes some people uncertain about using it. The cons of tree topology are: Single Point of Failure: If the mainline cable—also referred to as the backbone of a tree topology system—fails, then connect...
Star topology is easy to set up and expand, and faults are easily isolated. However, the hub represents a single point of failure. If the hub goes down, the entire network suffers. Star topology also provides limited bandwidth since all data flows through the hub. Advantages Easy to set, ...
1. Hierarchical TopologyThe hierarchical topology is also known as a tree topology, which is divided into different levels connected with the help of twisted pair, coaxial cable, or fiber optics.This type of topology is arranged in the form of a tree structure in which the top level contains...
Advantages of Star Topology •Easy to install and wire. •No disruptions to the network when connecting or removing devices. •Easy to detect faults and to remove parts. Disadvantages of Star Topology •Requires more cable length than alinear bus topology. ...
Tree topology is one kind of network topology that looks like a tree. This topology includes one central node & each node is simply connected to this node throughout a single lane. The main advantages of this topology are; a combination of star & bus topologies, detection of an error, dur...
A bus topology is a network configuration in which all devices are connected to a central cable, also known as a bus. The bus serves as a common connection point for all devices, allowing them to communicate with one another. This type of topology is often used in small networks, such as...
Explore the advantages and disadvantages of mesh topology, including its benefits for network reliability and potential drawbacks in terms of cost and complexity.
•What is Star Topology, Advantages and Disadvantages of Star Topology •Half-duplex and Full-duplex Ethernet •Types of network communication - Unicast, Multicast and Broadcast •Collision domain and broadcast domain •What is a network hub, Function of a network Hub ...
It also refers to the transmission medium of the signal. Examples –Bus topology, Star topology, Ring topology, Tree topology, Mesh Topology, Point-to-Point topology, and Hybrid Topology Logical Type This type of topology in computer networks shows how the data is transferred from one node/comp...
