Topology: physical ring of trees, logical ring
The "star" topology is the most common.
Bus star ring mesh hybrid
BUS
what kind of typology do Ethernet networks normally use
Ethernet is easily the most common topology having replaced token ring in the 90's. Simply because of it's ease of use with CAT5 cabling, cheap networking hardware and not needing any termination.
Bus topology
Ring Topology How to run Ring topology
Star topology:- In this topology all PC are connected with the central device. Central may be HUB and SWITCH. Star widely use in all over word. Ring topology:- In this ring topology all PC are connected in the frame of ring are close Ring topology use MSAU each PC has a two never road one is called up Stream and called down stream. It used token passing Matterhorn which implement the token ring network. " Is the best of star topology".
SONET use RING physical topology and TOKEN logical topology. As simple as that. Logical topology deals with the data transmission. Physical topology deals with how the network is connected physically , BUS, RING, STAR and the like.
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.....
