The history of network topologies dates back to 1969-1970. This what when Roberts, who is now known as Dr. Howard, started researching on network topologies and founded Network Analysis Corporation.
Actually, even before the bus topology, the mesh topology was used. This provided a direct link from one computer to another and this was copied for all the computers so that they had links to all others in the network. Of course this became quite cumbersome very quickly, so other topologies were developed such as bus (as used in 10Base2 and 10Base5), star (as used in 10BaseT, 100BaseT, and Gigabit Ethernet as well as the old Arcnet), and ring (most notably used in Token Ring). The ring topology has pretty much fallen into disuse as of today but the bus topology is still used. The most common place to find it is in the delivery of cable TV and cable modem service. It comes through the neighborhood on a trunk line and then each home or office has a tap into that big trunk. It is also used in the delivery of other services to homes and businesses: specifically natural gas, water, and sewer. The star topology is utilized by the phone company to deliver standard phone service as well as DSL services. This is a direct link between the service location and the DSLAM. In this case, the DSLAM is assuming the role of the concentrator or network switch.

What is connecting to a network?
Network Topology decides how Devices on a Network will be interconnected. General used Topologies are BUS, RING & STAR Topologies.
What is the network topologies function?
Network topologies is the means in which a network is structured. There are two types being physical and logical. Logical topology shows how data is delivered between a network.
How many computers can be connected on various network topologies?
I found and linked below a website that has information on many, but not all, network topologies.
Which of the network topologies has connections to all the machines in the network?
star topology
What is the definition of concept network?
A network or the network's layout. How different nodes in a network are connected to each other and how they communicate are determined by the network's topology. Topologies are either physical or logical. Below are diagrams of the five most common network topologies.
What kind of network do schools use?
Star topologies. Sometimes combined topologies are used of which i have no idea!! :P
What is a complex combination of pure topologies?
The complex combination of pure topologies is called a Hybrid. Examples of hybrid are star ring network and star bus network.
What are the types of topologies networking?
Bus star ring mesh hybrid
What is a complex combination of topologies known as?
A complex combination of topologies is often referred to as a hybrid topology. It combines two or more different basic network topologies, such as star, bus, ring, or mesh, to meet the specific needs of a network infrastructure. Hybrid topologies offer a balance of scalability, fault tolerance, and performance.
Which network topologies are affected by the loss of one computer?
Star
How explain different type of Network Address Translation with suitable set of examples?
these are the four types of the topologies such as WAN:-Wide Area Network LAN:- Local Area Network MAN- Metropolitan Area network CAN:- Campus Area Network In these topologies meanings are clear for a name
What topologies allows for network expansion with the least amount of disruption for the current network users?
Mesh
