What are the three basic types of Network topologies?

Answer 1

The main network topolgies are: Bus- consist of running cables from one PC or file server to the next, like links on a chain. Ring- a continust path for dtat with no logicial beginning or ending point and thus no terminators

Star- the oldest communication design method in network technology. Star- Bus Hybrid Star Ring Hybrid Mesh

Answer 2

The types of Network Topologies are as follows: Bus or line - Use a common 'backbone' to connect all the devices. A single cable, the backbone functions as a shared communication medium that devices attach or tap into with an interface connector. A device wanting to communicate with another device on the network sends a broadcast message onto the wire that all other devices see, but only the intended recipient actually accepts and processes the message. Star - Many home networks use the star topology. A star network features a central connection point called a "hub" Tree - Tree topologies integrate multiple star topologies together onto a bus. In its simplest form, only hub devices connect directly to the tree bus, and each hub functions as the "root" of a tree of devices. This bus/star hybrid approach supports future expandability of the network much better than a bus (limited in the number of devices due to the broadcast traffic it generates) or a star (limited by the number of hub connection points) alone. Ring - In a ring network, every device has exactly two neighbors for communication purposes. All messages travel through a ring in the same direction (either "clockwise" or "counterclockwise"). A failure in any cable or device breaks the loop and can take down the entire network. Mesh - Mesh topologies involve the concept of routes. Unlike each of the previous topologies, messages sent on a mesh network can take any of several possible paths from source to destination. (Recall that even in a ring, although two cable paths exist, messages can only travel in one direction.) NOTE: THE NETWORK TOPOLOGY USED BY THE internet IS THE MESH S.Nash

Answer 3

Star - As it sounds, each node is connected to a central hub using a point to point connection, forming what looks like a star.

Ring - Computers are set up in a circle and data travels only in one direction, giving each node along the way a chance to broadcast.

Mesh - This is more like a grid system where everything is connected to everything else. The failure of one or more nodes in the network will not cause failure of any other points.

Answer 4

1- LAN (Local Area Network)

2- MAN ( Metropolitan Area Network)

3- WAN (Wide Area Network)

I know just about these three types of Network Topologies, IF any friends know about another one please give information about it...!!

Answer 5

There are seven major topologies:

• Point-to-point
• Bus
• Star
• Ring (No longer used as much)
• Mesh
• Tree
• Hybrid
• Daisy chain
