Types of network topology
RING TOPOLOGY:
A ring topology is a network configuration in which device connections create a circular data path. Each networked device is connected to two others, like points on a circle.
Advantages :
If there is a break in the cable, it does not affect the entire network.
Problems can be easily identified.
Devices/Nodes are easy to add or remove from the network.
Disadvantages :
No security of data.
Privacy of data is also hampered.
Use of lot of cables increases the cost of entire network.
MESH TOPOLOGY
Mesh topology is a type of networking where all nodes cooperate to distribute data amongst each other
Advantages :
Reduction in traffic due to individual node.
Data communication speed is fast.
Security and privacy of data is provided.
Disadvantages :
Most expensive topology due to the amount of cables and HUBs used.
Highly complex structure.
STAR TOPOLOGY
*All nodes are connected to a central device. A star topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) .A star network is often combined with a bus topology
Advantages :
Easily add and/or remove devices.
Problem identification is easy.
Data communication is fast due to the HUB connectivity.
Disadvantages :
Expensive due to the cost of cables and HUB.
If HUB fails(Due to high load), entire network will shut down.
BUS TOPOLOGY
A bus topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all the nodes are connected to a single cable.The cable to which the nodes connect is called a "backbone". If the backbone is broken, the entire segment fails.
Advantages :
Less cables are required.
Easy to install the setup.
Can be used for personal purpose only.
Disadvantages :
f there occurs a break in the cable, entire network will get shutdown.
Difficult to find, where the break in cable has occurred.
Expensive due to the cost of transmitters.
