1. Ring Topology

   • Each Computer connects to each other
   • Disadvantages
     • If 1 Computer breaks then none of them will work as their in a circuit
     • only 1 is connected to the internet and spreads it around, But if that one breaks then none of them have internet
     • Data leeks possible
   • Advantages
     • Cheap
     • No collisions

2. Star Topology

   • All the Computers connect to like a big generator which is good
   • Disadvantages
     • If the generator Breaks then all the computers may loose their files
   • Advantages
     • You could have 2 Generators so that they can work together and if 1 breaks then the other 1 can store all of the files
     • No data Links
     • No Failior except from switch
     • Easy to add
     • A lot faster

3. Bus Topology

   • Advantages
     • Cheap to install
     • Easy to add a new computer
   • Disadvantages
     • High Chance of Catastrophic Failior
     • Data collisions

4. IP Address

   • Computers on a network need an address to identify them
   • When a computer is added to a network it is assigned an IP address
   • The IP address is unique
