Introduction
Network topology is the arrangement of devices, connections, and
nodes in a network, defining how data is transmitted and
communicated.
Types of Network Topology:
Bus Topology:
 A single cable connects all devices in a sequence.
Examples:
Most modern Ethernet networks using switches.
 Home networks using a Wi-Fi router.
Advantages:
Easy to install, maintain, and troubleshoot.
Scalable and flexible.
Continue
Disadvantages:
 Difficult to troubleshoot.
Limited scalability and a single fault can bring down the
Star Topology
 All devices connect to a central device (hub or switch).
Examples:
Most modern Ethernet networks using switches.
Home networks using a Wi-Fi route
Advantages:
Easy to install, maintain, and troubleshoot.
Scalable and flexible.
Continue
Disadvantages:
 Dependent on the central device
Can be expensive.
Mesh Topology
Each device connects to every other device.
Examples:
Some WANs (Wide Area Networks) with multiple interconnected sites.
Wireless mesh networks for city-wide internet access.
Advantages:
Highly reliable and fault-tolerant.
Secure due to redundant paths.
Con…
Disadvantages:
Complex and expensive to implement.
Difficult to manage and maintain
Tree Topology
 A combination of bus and star topologies
Examples:
Some LANs with multiple switches connected to a central switch.
 Large-scale enterprise networks with multiple departments.
Advantages:
Scalable and flexible
Easy to manage and maintain
Con..
Disadvantages:
 Dependent on the root node.
 Can be complex to design.
Hybrid Topology
A combination of two or more topologies (e.g., star-bus or mesh-
star).
Examples:
Large-scale networks using a combination of star and bus topologies.
Networks using a mesh topology for critical devices and star
topology for others.
Advantages:
Flexible and scalable.
Can leverage strengths of different topologies.
Continue
Disadvantages:
Complex and challenging to design.
Difficult to manage and maintain
Ring Topology
Devices connect in a circular configuration, and data travels in one direction.
Examples:
Some older LANs using token ring technology.
SONET (Synchronous Optical Networking) rings for high-speed data
transfer.
Advantages:
High-speed data transfer.
Fault tolerance (with dual rings)
Con..
Disadvantages:
 Difficult to install and troubleshoot.
Limited scalability.
Conclusion:
Each network topology has its advantages and disadvantages. The
choice of topology depends on factors like network size, device
connections, scalability requirements, and fault tolerance needs.
Understanding these topologies helps design and implement efficient
and reliable networks.
