Network Topologies

Network Topologies

1. Bus network

   • Every workstation is connected to a main cable called the bus

2. Star network

   • There is a central computer or server to which all the workstation are directly connected

3. Ring network

   • The workstations are connected in a closed loop configuration. Adjacent pairs of workstations are directly connected

4. Token Ring

   • Protocol is used in a star or ring topology, the signal travels in only one direction, carried by a so-called token from node to node.

5. Mesh network

   • Topology employs either of two schemes, called full mesh and partial mesh.

6. Tree network

   • Topology uses two or more star networks connected together. The central computers of the star networks are connected to a main bus.

7. Snowflake topology

   • Snowflake topology is a star network of star networks

8. Pont to point

   • Is the basic model of conventional telephony
