The best topology is ring topology.
Star is the next best after ringr, and then bus, which is pretty old, but not too expensive.
Full mesh topology is theoretically the best since every device is connected to every other device, thus maximizing speed and security. These, however, are quite expensive to install. The next best would be tree topology, which is basically a connection of stars.
There is no best topology as all have their own benefits and weaknesses. It depends on how and what you want it to be.
a topology is the way in which the computers in a network are connected. there is no best topology, but each has its own advantages. for example, bus topology uses very less amount of wire and runs parallel to the computers thus using lesser space. but once a computer on the network is damaged, the whole system is affected:)

star topology
A star topology is best for a classroom environment. This topology is easy to set up and manage, and it allows for easy expansion of the network. Additionally, it is less susceptible to network outages due to a single point of failure.
Mesh Topology... though if you use a beefy-enough machine in the middle, a Star topology might work.

Network topology is the arrangement of the various components that make up the structure of a computer network. Network topology may be depicted in a physical or logical manner.
The best topology, whether it is a LAN based or a WAN based topology, is the one best suited for your environment. There is no one best topology for all situations.
