Network topology is the physical design of a LAN which resolves the conflict that occurs between computers on the network attempting to transmit at the same time. Whereas protocols are the standards used by networks to permit communication between network-connected devices. -s74
Ethernet
You are thinking ring topology. Not used much today.
logical channel
it is used cause no one knows how to use it. its like life what you do is a reflection. now go do it.it your wrold your time.
In the NIC. MAUs have tranceivers but aren't used on 100BASE-TX networks.
star network + guide to networks pg 105 Whoever answered that is a fool. Edition number? Yeah, guess you forgot. I have edition 5 here and that answer is not on page 105 or close to it either.
The most commonly used physical network topology is the star topology. This design features a central device, such as a switch or hub, to which all other devices are connected. It is widely used in modern Ethernet networks due to its simplicity and ease of troubleshooting.
I assume you are talking about network topology. I have worked in several schools in a couple school districts. Some older school networks were setup on a token ring. I think it would be safe to assume that most networks are now a star topology using ethernet.
What is the logical topology used for the Ethernet architecture?
Topology: physical ring of trees, logical ring
Either bus topology or star toplogy.
the protocol used
Ethernet networks.
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.....
star topology. Because they include a centralized connection point; can easily be moved, isolated, or interconnected with other networks; they are, therefore, scalable. For this reason, and because of their fault tolerance, the star topology has become the most popular layout used in contemporary LANs.
It is used to connect Fast Ethernet Networks together and it is connected to a PCI Slot located on your computer's Motherboard
