WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY





LINEAR BUS TOPOLOGY

      It uses one long cable, referred to as a backbone, to which computers and other devices are attached. A terminator is placed at each end of the backbone to keep the signals from bouncing back and being received again by the nodes in the network.







 




STAR TOPOLOGY

          It uses a central device called a hub with cables extending in all directions. Each networked device is connected directly to the hub. Data from a computer passes through the hub or switch before it can reach the other target node.







RING TOPOLOGY

It is a type of network topology wherein nodes are connected to each other forming one contiguous pathway in a ring formation. In other words, data need to travel from one node to the next, with each one receiving data traffic and passing it along to the next until it reaches its final destination.



MESH TOPOLOGY

This are structures wherein all the nodes on the network can route data traffic on their own. This makes them more reliable and resilient than ordinary network topologies. In a mesh configuration, nodes are interconnected to each other with each node having the capability to independently process and forward requests not just for its own use, but even manage and service requests for others nodes on the network.






HYBRID TOPOLOGY

 It is simply a network that uses a mix of any two or more different topologies in such a way that the final network does not exhibit one of the characteristics of the standard topologies.

LOCAL AREA NETWORK A  local area network  ( LAN ) is a  computer network  that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building. PERSONAL AREA NETWORK   A  personal area network  ( PAN ) is a  computer network  for interconnecting devices centered on an individual person's workspace. A PAN provides  data transmission  amongst devices such as  computers ,  smartphones ,  tablets  and  personal digital assistants . PANs can be used for communication amongst the personal devices themselves, or for connecting to a higher level network and the Internet (an  uplink ) where one master device takes up the role as  gateway . A PAN may be carried over wired  computer buses  such as  USB . METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK A  metropolitan area n...
