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
In a bus topology, data transmission typically uses protocols such as Ethernet, specifically the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol. This protocol allows devices to detect when the bus is free and transmit data while monitoring for collisions. If a collision occurs, devices stop transmitting and wait for a random time before attempting to resend. Other protocols, like Token Ring, can also be adapted for bus topologies, but CSMA/CD is the most common.
Ethernet
You are thinking ring topology. Not used much today.
logical channel
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
