The 3 basic topologies for a network are the bus, ring, and star. A bus structure is a linear straight line topology overall, whereas the ring moves data in a ring circular structure, and the star connects devices through a central device leaving the clients to be points of a star.
There are five: bus, star, ring, mesh and hybrid. Three most common are star, bus and ring. Answer: There are 5: Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, Hybrid(mix of all them). The most common one is Star.
