Computing Topologies
Cards in this deck (5)
- 1BUS NETWORK TOPOLOGYThe bus topology is a network setup in which each computer and network device is connected by a single cable or backbone. Each workstation is directly connected to every other workstation.
- 2STAR NETWORK TOPOLOGYThe star network topology every workstation is connected to a central computer or server. Every workstation is indirectly connected via this server
- 3RING NETWORK TOPOLOGYIn the ring network topology the workstations are connected in a closed loop configuration, adjacent pairs of workstations are directly connected. Other pairs are indirectly connecting and the data passes through one or more node to connect them. There is also a token ring topology that is a protocol used in a star or ring topology that means the signal can only travel in one direction. The signal is carried a token from node to node.
- 4MESH NETWORK TOPOLOGYThere are two types of mesh topology, in a full mesh each workstation is connected directly to each other. In a partial mesh topology some of the workstations are connected to all the others and then the rest are connected to nodes that they will share the most data with.
- 5TREE NETWORK TOPOLOGYIn a tree network topology two or more star networks are used to connect the networks together. The central computers are connected to a main bus, a tree network is a bus network of star networks.
