Network Topologies

Network Topologies

1. BUS

   • They are the cheapest topology
   • Increased chance of data collisons
   • Has two terminators

2. STAR

   • The most expensive due to cabling
   • If one node goes down the network isn't affected
   • The most popular topology

3. RING

   • The data flows one way, so there are no data collsions
   • Not as private, as the data goes through all nodes
   • If one node goes down, the entire network is affected

4. MESH

   • Partial
     • One node is connected to all nodes
       • If the main node goes down, the network will not work
   • FULL
     • All of the nodes are connected to each other
     • Multiple routes a message can take (more reliable)
     • Expensive
