Star is more appropriate, it's little bit expensive than for instance ring but it's easier to maintain and the bandwidth is higher (depending on UTP you are going to use).

Examples of some companies that use star topology?

Star topology is very common; chances are any company you can think of (big or small) is using a star in their LANs somewhere within the company.


What is mesh network or topology?

A mesh topology is where each node or computer has a direct link to every other node that it needs to talk to. This topology is okay for small computer set ups (e.g. upto 6 computers) that need very high speed communication between them.Its not really used any more because it all gets a bit meshy...


What are the advantages and disadvantages of hierarchical topology?

In hierarchical topology having a single or much less nodes on top level in a very large network like data center, there exist a chance for network congestion and a small portion of available bandwidth is supported for end hosts.

Small business networks are important for a few reasons. They allow information to be passed between employees without hassle. They also provide a secure network that only employees can access.

Difference between hirarchical network topology and flat network topology?

● Flat: where all the interconnection equipment have the same functions. Topology is easier to implement and has a great ease of management, provided that the network does not increase, then being recommended for small networks. ● Hierarchical: In this model the topology is divided into discrete layers, and each layer is focused on a set of specific functions, allowing the choice correct equipment for each layer. A typical hierarchical topology is composed of layers of core, composed of high-tech equipment, optimized for performance and availability, distribution, where they are concentrated equipment that control the flow of information across the network and access layer, formed by equipment that provides the connections for the network users.

How VSAT work?

VSAT is the acronym for Very Small Aperture Terminals. VSAT are mostly configured in one of the following network topologies: a star topology, which uses a central uplink site such as an NOC (network operations centre) to transport the data back and forth to each VSAT terminal. This transportation of data to each VSAT takes place through satellite communication. The mesh topology is a type of network topology in which each of the VSAT terminals relays the data via satellite to another terminal. The VSAT terminals act as an information hub. The main advantage of this type of network topology is that it minimizes the need for a centralised uplink site. At times the star network topology and the mesh network topology are combined, which combines the main activity of both network topologies, namely acting as both a central uplinking site and an information hub, which transfers data back and forth to each of its interconnected terminals via satellite communication.


What is ring topology?

the ring topology is a network within which all computer are connected like in a circle. The ring topology data transmission is depending on a token. it's a programme given to a computer to allow it to communicate with others computers. it's useful but if one computer goes down, the topology is down too.


What type of network should I use for a small company of 20 employees peer to peer or client server?

For the basics, if you are expecting to expand and gain more employees you would want to use a client server. Otherwise, using a peer to peer is easier to set up.


What is the differences between ring topology and star topology?

in bus topology computers are connected with each other by a wire in a approximately strait manner..and if one computer stops working the whole network will stop. while in star topology every computer is connected with the host computer & much wire is require..and if any client computer tops working it will not effect the whole network.----ravi singh chauhan...7275974787
