Some common types of network topologies include bus, ring, star, mesh, and hybrid. Bus topology uses a single cable to connect all devices, ring connects each device to two others in a ring, star has all devices connected to a central hub, mesh connects each device to every other device, and hybrid combines two or more different types of topologies.
Router.
A device with wireless connectivity or Ethernet ports, which otherwise connects a series of devices in a network topology.
NIC (Network Interface Card)
A router
the don
Any device that connects to a network requires a network interface card.
The disadvantage of using a bus topology is that a break in any of the connecting cables will bring down the entire network segment. The disadvantage of using a star topology is limited to the central connecting device; it is breaks, the entire network goes down.

Here are some common types of network topologies: Bus Topology: In a bus topology, all devices are connected to a single central cable (the bus). Data travels along the bus and is received by all devices on the network. Each device has a unique address, and devices communicate directly with the bus. Star Topology: In a star topology, each device is connected directly to a central hub or switch. All data passes through the central hub, which manages and controls the flow of information between devices. If one device fails, it does not affect the rest of the network. Ring Topology: In a ring topology, each device is connected to two other devices, forming a closed loop or ring. Data travels in one direction around the ring. Devices act as repeaters to strengthen the signal as it passes through each device. Mesh Topology: In a mesh topology, every device is connected to every other device in the network. This creates multiple paths for data to travel, enhancing reliability and fault tolerance. Mesh networks can be full mesh (every device connected to every other device) or partial mesh (only some devices are interconnected). Tree Topology: Tree topology combines characteristics of star and bus topologies. Devices are arranged in a hierarchical structure, with multiple star networks connected to a central bus backbone. This allows for scalability and efficient data flow. Hybrid Topology: Hybrid topology combines two or more different types of topologies to form a larger network. For example, a network might combine elements of star and mesh topologies to create a more flexible and scalable network infrastructure. Each type of network topology has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, scalability, reliability, and ease of management. The choice of topology depends on factors such as the size of the network, the type of applications used, and the level of redundancy and fault tolerance required.
