Network Tropology
Network Tropology Network tropology is the arrangement of the various elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a computer network. Essentially, it is the topological structure of a network and may be depicted physically or logically. An example is a local area network (LAN). Any given node in the LAN has one or more physical links to other devices in the network. Classification: The study of network topology recognizes eight basic topologies, bus, star, ring, mesh, tree, hybrid. Description is given below: Bus network tropology: In local area networks where bus topology is used, each node is connected to a single cable, by the help of interface connectors. This central cable is the backbone of the network and is known as the bus (thus the name.) A signal from the source travels in both directions to all machines connected on the bus cable until it finds the intended recipient. Star network tropology: In local area networks with a star...
