Star Topology
Bus topology
yes, network topology does matter to design a network. as we know that topology is a structure of network. without a topology network cannot be designed. we have to consider which topology to use and what does each topology does. different topology have its different features. if you want most secure connection use full mesh topology
The topology that is chosen depends on a number of factors, including:cost/budgetlength of the networkscalability and future expansion plansInfrastructure and current cabling requirementsProtocols used
Any topology can be used for a peer-to-peer network. The easiest is probably a star topology but it doesn't have to be.
Star Topology.
network topology
The most common LAN topology is that of a "star." In a star topology, each computer, or "node", is connected to a central hub. This is more reliable than a more classical "ring" topology, because a node failing will not bring down the entire network. A bus topology is arguably more reliable, but has poorer performance.
hybrid topology
1.) Mesh topology:- Routing protocol such as RIP(routing information protocol) or OSPF (open shortest path protocol) is used. 2.) Star topology:- Ethernet, token ring, Local Talk, ATM........... all are used... 3.)Bus topology:- Ethernet protocol using CS-MA/CD as access method.....
Well, yes. Please correct your question, thanks!
It's used for Star topology.
