What is Topology? Types of Topology
What is Topology? ⇒The physical arrangement of the computer system/node, which is connected to each other via communication medium is called topology. How many types of Topology? ⇒There are six types of topology- 1. BUS TOPOLOGY: A bus topology consists of a main run of cable with a terminator at each end. All nodes (file server workstations and and peripherals) are connected to the linear cable. ● Advantages of Bus Topology: * It is very easy process. * it is best suited for small networks. * It is not costly. ● Disadvantages of Bus Topology: * The cable length is limited and this limits the number of station that can be connected. * this network topology is not to be secured. 2. RING TOPOLOGY: It's called ring topology because it forms a ring. In this topology each nodes is strongly connected with it's adjacent node. ● Advantages of Ring Topology: * It forms a strong network. * Each an every node can share data with another node connected throug...
