Computers can be interconnected in different ways to form a network. Such different ways of interconneconnection are called computer topologies. There are 5 topologies. They are: * BUS TOPOLOGY * RING TOPOLOGY * STAR TOPOLOGY * MESH TOPOLOGY * TREE TOPOLOGY
A star topology uses a central network device, such as a hub or a switch, to connect all nodes in the network. Each node is connected directly to the central device, creating a centralized architecture that simplifies network management and troubleshooting.
it is a ring network
Topology
A bus is a linear network topology where there is a startpoint and endpoint (two different nodes) and the other nodes are between, in a straight line. A ring operates like a circle- data travels in one direction through the nodes, ending up at the starting node. In a ring topology, there is a central node to which each other node connects to. This is usually a hub or server. Ajeet kumar Mishra HCL CDC Allahabad HCE -064 Batch
Star Topology, where Hubs can act as repeaters.
Bus
How do hosts on a physical ring topology communication
A ring topology connects neighboring nodes until they form a ring. * signals than travels in one direction around the ring; each device on the network acts as a repeater to send the signal to the next device.
Yes, depending on the number of nodes added, the topology of the network, and how busy the nodes are.
a switch
Ring Topology is least affected by addition or removal of nodes
