Network Topologies

Network Topologies

1. This is a way in which the nodes are connected together/arranged on a network

2. examples of a topology is: a star topology, mesh topology, bus topology and hybrid topology

3. Advantages of star topology: easy to put in -reliable -high performing -cheap

4. Disadvantages of a star topology: if switch fails all nodes are disabled -if hub goes down everything does

5. Advantages of a mesh topology: If one device fails others will still work -fault identification is straight forward -has high privacy and security

6. Disadvantages of a Mesh topology : Costly compared to other topologies -installation is difficult -complex process
