NETWORK TOPOLOGY
TOPOLOGY A topology represents graphical arrangement of computers or devices. It is geometric representation of the relationship of all the links and linking devices (usually called nodes) to one another. There are basic topologies possible: 1. Linear Topology 2. BUS Topology 3. Ring Topology 4. Star Topology 5. Tree Topology 6. Mesh Topology Linear Topology: In Linear topology, nodes are connected serially with each other except the last node at both ends. In this topology, the entire network fails in case any node within the network breaks down or is disconnected. BUS Topology: In bus topology, each node in the network is connected to the single common communication wire and this single communication line is referred as a ‘BUS’. Bus network is the simplest way to connect multiple clients. Star Topology: In star topology, computers or its devices are not directly linked to each other but they are co
