NETWORK TOPOLOGY - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Offer direct communication
        between two devices, which
        can result in efficient
        data transfer.
    - - Data transmitted over a point-to-point
        connection is typically more secure
        as it doesn't pass through
        other devices or nodes.
  - - - Point-to-point connection lack redundancy,
        so if a connection fails, there may
        be no backup root.
    - - Managing a large number of individual on
        point-to-point connections can
        become complex and challenging.
- - - - Each device in a ring topology has equal access to the network, reducing the chance of collisions.
    - - Setting this up is relatively simple, especially in smaller networks.
  - - - Expanding a ring network can be complex, and may require significant changes.
    - - As more devices are added, the network's performance can be degrade.
- - - - If one part of the network fails, other segments can still function, enhancing reliability.
    - - You have the flexibility to choose the most suitable topology for different parts of your network, depending on their specific needs.
  - - - Setting up and maintaining a hybrid network may require a higher level of expertise.
    - - Since hybrid network incorporate multiple topologies, they can have multiple points of failure, which need to be carefully managed.
- - - - Straightforward to setup and requires less cabling compared to other topologies.
    - - Adding new devices to the network is relatively easy in a bus topology.
  - - - Can become inefficient and slower if more devices are added.
    - - There can be data collisions when multiple devices attempt to transmit data simultaneously.
- - - - It has a hierarchical structure, which can simplify network management in organization.
    - - It helps in efficient data flow since traffic typically follows a predefined path through the hierarchy.
  - - - Designing a tree topology network can be complex, especially for large networks, and requires careful planning.
    - - Extending branches of the tree may require a significant amount of cabling.
- - - - If one device fails or experiences issues, it does not affect the rest of the network, ensuring high reliability.
    - - All devices are connected to a central hub or switch, making it easier to manage the network.
  - - - If the central hub is switch fails the entire network can go down.
    - - As the number of devices increases, the amount of cabling can become complex and challenging to manage.
- - - - Can be expensive due to the numerous connections and cables required.
    - - In some cases, too mane connections can lead to network congestions and reduced performance.
  - - - The network remains operational even if some connections fails.
    - - Mesh networks are highly scalable, making them suitable for large and complex networks.
