IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE COMPUTERS
TO BE CONNECTED MUST HAVE ACCESS
TO THE SAME NETWORK SHARING
RESOURCES. IT REFERS TO THE
SCHEMATIC DESCRIPTION OF DIFFERENT
NODES IN A NETWORK. IT DETERMINES
HOW DATA FLOWS WITHIN A NETWORK,
IRRESPECTIVE OF ITS PHYSICAL
STRUCTURE. THE MOST commonly
known are:
Point- to- point
(ptp) topology

POINT TO POINT IS A SIMPLE TOPOLOGY


THAT DIRECTLY LINKS TWO NODES AND
RESERVES THE ENTIRE BANDWIDTH OF THE
CONNECTION FOR THEM TO COMMUNICATE
WITH ONE ANOTHER. PHYSICALLY, POINT -
TO-POINT CONNECTIONS ON A CABLE OR
WIRE THAT CONNECTS THE TWO
ENDPOINTS.

Bus topology
BUS TOPOLOGY IS A TYPE OF NETWORK
TOPOLOGY IN WHICH ALL DEVICES ARE
CONNECTED TO A SINGLE CABLE
CALLED A "BUS." THIS CABLE SERVES AS
A SHARED COMMUNICATION MEDIUM,
ALLOWING ALL DEVICES ON THE
NETWORK TO RECEIVE THE SAME
SIGNAL SIMULTANEOUSLY.

Ring topology
RING TOPOLOGY IS A TYPE OF NETWORK
CONFIGURATION WHERE DEVICES ARE
CONNECTED IN A CIRCULAR MANNER,
FORMING A CLOSED LOOP. IN THIS
SETUP, EACH DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO
EXACTLY TWO OTHER DEVICES,
CREATING A CONTINUOUS PATHWAY FOR
DATA TRANSMISSION.

Star topology
A STAR TOPOLOGY IS A TYPE OF NETWORK
TOPOLOGY IN WHICH ALL THE DEVICES OR
NODES ARE PHYSICALLY CONNECTED TO A
CENTRAL NODE SUCH AS A ROUTER, SWITCH,
OR HUB. THE CENTRAL NODE (HUB) ACTS AS A
SERVER, AND THE CONNECTING NODES ACT
AS CLIENTS.
Tree topology
IN COMPUTER NETWORKING, TREE TOPOLOGY
IS A TYPE OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY THAT
RESEMBLES A TREE. IN A TREE TOPOLOGY,
THERE IS ONE CENTRAL NODE (THE “TRUNK”),
AND EACH NODE IS CONNECTED TO THE
CENTRAL NODE THROUGH A SINGLE PATH.
NODES CAN BE THOUGHT OF AS BRANCHES
COMING OFF OF THE TRUNK.

Mesh topology
MESH TOPOLOGY IS A NETWORK
CONFIGURATION WHERE DEVICES ARE
INTERCONNECTED IN A DECENTRALIZED
MANNER. INSTEAD OF RELYING ON A CENTRAL
HUB OR SWITCH, EACH DEVICE CONNECTS
DIRECTLY TO MULTIPLE OTHER DEVICES,
FORMING A MESH-LIKE STRUCTURE.
