What is a Network Topology?
• Definition: The physical or logical layout of
devices in a network.
• Importance: Affects performance, scalability,
and fault tolerance.
Types of Network Topologies
• - Bus Topology
• - Ring Topology
• - Star Topology
• - Mesh Topology
• - Tree Topology
• - Hybrid Topology
Bus Topology
• Explanation: Single cable connects all nodes
• Daily Example: Old local buses where
everyone listens to one speaker
• Pros: Easy to set up, cost-effective
• Cons: Difficult to troubleshoot, single point of
failure
Ring Topology
• Explanation: Data moves in a circle
• Daily Example: Group of friends passing a note
around in a circle
• Pros: Equal access for all devices
• Cons: Failure in one device affects the whole
network
Star Topology
• Explanation: All nodes connect to a central
hub
• Daily Example: Airport with flights (devices)
connected to a control tower (hub)
• Pros: Easy to manage
• Cons: Hub failure affects the whole network
Mesh Topology
• Explanation: Every device is connected to
every other
• Daily Example: Social media friends—
everyone can directly message everyone
• Pros: Redundant paths increase reliability
• Cons: Expensive and complex
Tree Topology
• Explanation: Hierarchical structure
• Daily Example: Organizational chart in a
company
• Pros: Scalable
• Cons: Difficult to configure and maintain
Hybrid Topology
• Explanation: Combination of two or more
topologies
• Daily Example: Smart homes with central
control + mesh devices
• Pros: Flexible and scalable
• Cons: Complex to design
Comparison Table
• Topology | Cost | Reliability | Ease of Setup
• Bus | Low | Low | Easy
• Ring | Medium | Medium | Moderate
• Star | Medium | High | Easy
• Mesh | High | Very High | Difficult
• Tree | Medium | Medium | Moderate
• Hybrid | High | High | Complex
Summary
• - Topologies define how devices are connected
• - Each has pros and cons
• - Choose based on need, size, and budget
