Bus
star
ring or circular
mesh
tree
hybrid
.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Depeding upon the scope and the size of a computer network required, there are following types of network topologies selected to build a real life network.

Star: In A Star type of topology, a Central device, usually known as the 'Hub' is connected with all exiting component of a network.

Ring or circular : the type of topology involved different nodes connected to each other, one after the other to form of closed loop.

Mesh : as a more Complex version of a ring topology, this includes various network nodes connected to multiple devices in order to form a mesh.

Tree: A number of smaller network formed with a star type of topology are then connected with each other with single connecting medium. the resultant topology is said to be the tree topology.

Hybrid : this is a most complex form of topology wherein multiple types of networks of wearing topologies such as bus, star or ring are then connected to each other.

Answer 2

Computer networking has been around for several decades, which is the backbone of what we all know as the Internet today. The Internet is simply a network of networks, which means there is no such thing as a standalone computer on a network.

advantages and disadvantages of various network topologies

For a user or host computer to participate in data and resource sharing, it has to be connected to some form of network topology.

This has brought about the evolution of computer networking to include more devices, which will further enhance the process of information sharing across different geographical locations.

Most people are already familiar with terminologies such as Local Area Networks or LANs, which means the computers are within the same geographical location or building.

Wide Area Networks or WANs, which means the devices are separated by geographical distance. There are other terminologies used in computer networking such as Metropolitan Area Network or MAN, and Personal Area Network or PAN.
