The document discusses three main types of network topologies: bus, ring, and star. The bus topology involves connecting all computers and devices to a central cable or bus. The ring topology forms a closed loop with devices connected along the ring and data traveling in one direction. The star topology connects all devices to a central hub device. Each topology has advantages - bus is inexpensive and easy to install while star has easy wiring and fault detection. However, bus has single point of failure issues and ring can be slower as data passes through all devices. Overall, the document provides definitions and comparisons of the key characteristics of these three fundamental network topologies.

- 3. What is a Topology ? The physical topology of a network refers to the configuration of cables, computers and other peripherals. DEFINITION
- 4. Bus network. Ring network. Star network. TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY
- 5. All computers and devices connected to central cable or bus. Consists of a main run of cable with a terminator at each end. Popular on LANs because they are inexpensive and easy to install. BUS TOPOLOGY
- 6. BUS TOPOLOGY
- 7. Cable forms closed ring or loop, with all computers and devices arranged along ring. Data travels from device to device around entire ring, in one direction. Primarily is used for LANs, but also is used in WANs. RING TOPOLOGY
- 9. All devices connect to a central device, called hub. All data transferred from one computer to another passes through hub. STAR TOPOLOGY
- 10. STAR TOPOLOGY
- 11. WHAT IS DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN THE THREE OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY? SEARCH IN THE INTERNET DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN THE THREE TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY
- 12. ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE 1) Easy to connect computer or peripheral to a linear bus. 1) Entire network shuts down if there is a break in the main cable. 2) Requires less cable length than a star topology. 2) Terminators are required at both ends of the backbone cable. 3) Difficult to identify the problem if the entire network shuts down. BUSBUS DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN THE THREE TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY
- 13. ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE 1) Data is quickly transferred. 1) Data packets must pass through every computer between the sender and recipient therefore, this makes it slower. 2) The transmission of data is relatively simple as packets travel in one direction only. 2) If any of the nodes fail then the ring is broken and data cannot be transmitted successfully. 3) It is difficult to troubleshoot the ring. RINGRING DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN THE THREE TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY
- 14. ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE 1) Easy to install and wire. 1) Requires more cable length than a linear topology. 2) Security can be implemented in the hub/switch. 2) If the hub or concentrator fails, nodes attached are disabled. 3) Easy to detect faults and to remove parts. 3) More expensive than linear bus topologies because of the cost of the concentrators.
