Network topology
Two types of topology
- Physical topology
- Logical topology
Point to point topology
- Physical topology
- Logical topology
Point to point topology
-
Two host
BUS topology
-
All devices share single cable
All devices share single cable
-
Example 5 pc connected to 1 line, and if one
part is broken than it is lagging
Diagram
Advantages it is simple and reliable, requires small amount of cable
Disadvantages a cable problem can shutdown the entire network, troubleshooting problem is difficult to do

Star topology
Many devices are connected to only one hub or
switch
Example 5 pc connected to 1 switch/router/hub
Advantages
Example 5 pc connected to 1 switch/router/hub
Diagram
Advantages
- Disadvantages Expensive, more cable, If the switch is broken
so there will be no connection
-
Ring topology
-
Each computer connect to exactly two other
machines
-
Advantages
Queue up send by one, If 1 part is broken, the pc is still connected,
sending a message is faster because the cable is only use by the sender
-
Disadvantages
Others can read by other devices, take time, privacy of the messages
Mesh topology
-
Computer is connected to one or multiple
computer
Diagram
Two types of mesh topology
- Full mesh – All computer have a point to point, everyone is connected to one
Partial mesh – Not all computer connected to each otherDiagram
-
Advantages
Sending a message is faster and there are many ways to send message even if
one cable is broken
-
Disadvantages
Expensive, more cable
Tree topology
-
Known as hierarchical topology
-
Advantages
is fast, suitable for office , easy to identify when there is network failure
-
Disadvantages
expensive
