Types of Network Topology CSS 1

This document discusses different types of network topologies, including bus, ring, star, mesh, tree, and hybrid topologies. Bus topology connects all nodes to a single cable. Ring topology forms a ring with each device connected to two neighbors. Star topology connects all computers to a central hub. Mesh topology transmits data to all nodes without routing. Tree topology has a root node and hierarchical levels. Hybrid topology mixes two or more topologies.

Types of Network Topology

Network Topology is the schematic description of a network arrangement, connecting


various nodes(sender and receiver) through lines of connection.

BUS Topology
Bus topology is a network type in which every computer and network device is connected to
single cable. When it has exactly two endpoints, then it is called Linear Bus topology.

RING Topology
It is called ring topology because it forms a ring as each computer is connected to another
computer, with the last one connected to the first. Exactly two neighbours for each device.

STAR Topology
In this type of topology all the computers are connected to a single hub through a cable.
This hub is the central node and all others nodes are connected to the central node.

MESH Topology: Flooding


In flooding, the same data is transmitted to all the network nodes, hence no routing logic is
required. The network is robust, and the its very unlikely to lose the data. But it leads to
unwanted load over the network.

TREE Topology
It has a root node and all other nodes are connected to it forming a hierarchy. It is also
called hierarchical topology. It should at least have three levels to the hierarchy.

HYBRID Topology
It is two different types of topologies which is a mixture of two or more topologies. For
example if in an office in one department ring topology is used and in another star topology
is used, connecting these topologies will result in Hybrid Topology (ring topology and star
topology).
